Future and destiny, foresee and change

This film can give us some inspiration on how to understand the future Will he die just like he had foreseen. Because it seems reasonable if it happens as he predicted, and his previous predictions have been confirmed to be correct, but if this time it does not happen as he predicted, will there be a contradiction?

There is a point in the movie that let us explore: if the future is foreseen, people will subconsciously let things happen as they foresee, because if it doesn't happen, it's not the foreseeable future. But there is another question, is the foreseeable future still called the future? However, the ending of the movie is contrary to the original setting, which is also the problem I guessed when I didn't know the ending before. Obviously, the male protagonist changed him after foreseeing his future and prevented him from happening. In this way, this foreseen future is a false proposition.

In fact, compared to the East, the future is similar to our destiny. As to whether we believe in our destiny or not, the answer in the movie is we don’t believe it; whether our destiny can be changed by ourselves, the movie tells us that it is possible. Finally, I would like to mention my personal point of view. Whether it is from a scientific or traditional point of view, the future is unpredictable. The future has infinite hope and possibility. The foreseeable future is not called the future. A very scary thing. I don't believe in fate, my fate is in my own hands, because there is no "fate" destined in my fate, so I also believe that my fate can be changed through my own hands.

    "If you show someone their future, they won't have a future. To take away the mystery of the future is to take away hope." It turns out that Wu Yusen can also make this kind of more humane science fiction suspense film, of course it ends. It is still inevitable that his iconic white dove appeared, although it appeared suddenly~ This film reflects on the machine that predicts the future from the perspective of the protagonist. A person’s judgment on his own personality and habits will also change his fate.

    The idea is good, it's very playful, but the production is so bad, it's definitely the director's problem. The music is empty and bluffing, the actors and brothers are all idiots, the male drake voice is too funny, and the female is not like a female, let alone a female doctor. Worst ever.
