It takes courage to do it all over again

When I watched the previous part, I still regarded it as a psychological movie, and planned to sort out the Timeline of the four of them from childhood to adulthood, and see what kind of results their childhood experiences had for them in the future. . The Timeline is as follows:

Evan: I want to see my dad
paint: kill someone, block out
suddenly standing at home with a knife, then block out
and take him for a test, it is recommended to let him write a diary to see if he can remember what happened and ask someone to
take care of him, After a block out, he was forced to film something strange and replaced Tommy's role, aroused Jimmy's hatred
and brought him to meet his father, who was shot
in the head for an attempt to murder him.
Blocked out again, hypnosis caused some memories, even unable to get rid of it, brought him back to the real world in time after a nosebleed
, kissed Kayleigh, Tommy beat someone seriously
and went back to the woods again, blocked out after being beaten and witnessing the puppy tragic
situation Years later, one day, I suddenly opened my diary, had a dream, and saw the second woods situation that happened before

Kayleigh: I asked someone to take care of them and forced them to take pictures of strange things
.
Beaten
, watched a movie, was kissed, witnessed Tommy beating someone
and went back to the woods again, couldn't save the puppy, and witnessed it being burned to death by Jimmy

.
Too frightened, I went to the hospital
and went back to the woods again. I couldn't sleep, and I heard cries every night. I couldn't save the
puppy
. To imitate Tommy's tone and say the words that led him to give up to save; Threatened Evan


Tommy to be replaced by a filming role,
6 years later, went to bomb the mailbox, witnessed the mother and daughter being
beaten by the bombed movie theater (language behavior aggressive)

When I got here, I just Started to stop recording, the messed up part behind has no meaning. If they in this movie could only live once like us, they should have continued like this. Evan may become a well-known scholar in psychology; Kayleigh may commit suicide because of childhood memories; Lenny may become a paranoid airplane modeller because of childhood shadows; Tommy may become a person who has been destroyed by childhood experiences. Criminals, are still going to seek revenge on Evan... Or maybe Evan really created those false memories just to escape the facts of the past, or even split multiple personalities, and chose to live in a person that satisfies him...
We There may have been times when we hoped to go back to a certain time in the past to change a mistake we made; to do more to make up for today’s loopholes; to take back what we have done, what we said, and what we have said Those who have passed... I hope we can live without regrets and live perfectly today. However, if we do have a chance to do it all over again, will things go as smoothly as we think, and everything will change for the better? "The Butterfly Effect" is questioning people who complain and always hope to live again: If our lives are really restarted, will everything really get better? Is it not possible to make things worse?
There seems to be such a sentence in "Children's Dreams": Life is a process, the sad thing is that it can't be repeated, the happy thing is that it doesn't have to be repeated.

In addition to the suspense, this movie does not forget to add a touch of humanity at the end. Every time Evan has the courage to choose to go back in time and start over, every time it is to change the unfortunate things that have happened to the people he loves.
But we still have to return to reality in the end. Even if fate comes again, we are not so lucky to be able to randomly go to that world with a satisfactory ending.
It reminds me of the Coen Brothers movies - which usually start with something small and get out of hand at the end.
However, according to Chaos Theory in "The Butterfly Effect", let's just live obediently, "Accept what we can't change, change what we can't accept, and more importantly, have the wisdom to distinguish between what can't be changed and what can't be changed. what is unacceptable".

    Die of laughter... Gao Zan kept saying that "art can't be evaluated with science", so he can use "brain burning/reversal" to define art? ... "Creed" is a shell movie with a similar concept first, so boring to 1.5 times fast-forward to watch the 2-hour guide version of station B. The most fascinating thing about the whole movie is Kutcher's pubic hair.

    Evan: If anyone finds this, it means my plan didn't work and I'm already dead. But if I can somehow go back to the beginning of all of this, I might be able to save her.
