Fighting the Air - Not about science, this film is about the weakness of human nature

Does the male protagonist have a chance to avoid the tragedy?

The answer is yes.

The director (the male second scientist in the film) explained that

The whole story can be seen as a linear development of a single timeline. Every time the male protagonist crosses (the cross in the picture), the timeline will be folded once. At this time, there will be two selves in the world at the same time. Imagine if the male protagonist is in the first After a time travel, if you listen to the scientist and do nothing and wait for the other self to travel by himself at night, then everything will be restored as before, and there will still be only one self left in the world. But if the story is so simple, it can't portray the human side.

After that, the male protagonist privately called himself at home. After the scientist found out, he told the male protagonist that if he prevented the first time crossing, it would have no effect on himself who was at home with his wife, but the male protagonist in front of the scientist would disappear completely.

Out of fear that he would disappear, the male protagonist decided to take the initiative to remove the other self, and the plot started to get out of control from then on.

The greed in the male protagonist's nature made him leave the house and step into the woods, and the selfishness of self-preservation only made him fall into the whirlpool of mistakes again and again. The depravity of human nature is only in one day.

It is not wrong for this movie to try to portray human nature by threading the thread, but from a scientific point of view, there is a paradox, which is the most perplexing question I have in watching the movie: how does the male protagonist work without external force? Fighting with air? Just imagine that the male protagonist takes a binocular to look at the scenery at home and waits for his wife to come back, and the girl rides bicycles on the road and strolls the streets. The two of them are irrelevant, but they are halfway through the future. Transmigration, the male protagonist is also very innocent? …

So the movie tells us to listen to the leaders at home. If we had been obedient to buy roast chicken, wouldn't there be so many idiots...
