Even with the same congenital conditions, the acquired environment can completely create different results, and some of the most important ones may be the result of the butterfly effect.
Everyone recalls their own growth experience, and some of their thoughts and attitudes have changed because of an attitude of their parents or a word from a teacher! Everyone has someone or some people who have a profound influence on them, right? I have it too. Imagine if you didn't get in touch with him (her) because of some changes, would you still be who you are today?
And this movie gives the male protagonist the ability to try to change some established facts. However, there is a loophole in this ability, he is not God after all, and every time he tries to make up for it, the reality becomes worse.
I watched the director's cut version, and it was only when I went to Time.com that I found out that the movie has four endings. I personally prefer the director's ending, the theatrical ending seems to be almost all about love. Because he had accepted the consequence of losing his hands and tried to commit suicide, he decided to change the past when he saw his mother had lung cancer. And the ending of the theatrical version is too harmonious. Didn't his father say that he is not a god, and he can only help more and more. Can't this kind of better situation be achieved at all?
So, in the end, he chose to sacrifice himself to make everyone happy.
