bar . And when the basic story is finished and all the preparations are done, the rhythm of the film turns sharply, and several consecutive crossings establish a node for the fragmented memories, as if toppling the pre-arranged dominoes and letting the truth pour down.
In the past, I always liked to talk about the logic problems in time-travel movies. It was nothing more than the multiverse and the grandfather paradox. The time
theory basically the same as that of "Terrorist Cruise", except that "Terrorist Cruise" It's an infinite loop with a beginning but no end, and this movie is a single loop with an end but no beginning. Overall, the movie's creativity is good. As a sci-fi movie, it doesn't have any gorgeous special effects. The plot attracts people's hearts alone, and it does a good job. It should be said that the foreshadowing in the early stage has played a very important role. To borrow Chekhov's point that "if there is a pistol in the story, it has to be fired", the film does a good job of it. Not to mention the two major turning points and the background of the story, just when John walked into the bar, he told an egg or chicken joke until he saw them go back in time and John met Jane At that time, everything is surprising. It's like giving a close-up shot of the keychain in the movie "Ant-Man". It echoes before and after, and is never redundant. Maybe sometimes this is where domestic movies should learn.
"Are you lonely in this life? No family" "But you have a purpose"
Some people say that the loneliest thing in the universe is an electron. According to Feynman's hypothesis, there is only one electron in the entire universe.
The time axis moves forward until the end of the universe, then turns back and goes backward in time until the beginning of the universe. In this way, the cycle repeats endlessly, and the continuous overlapping eventually forms the real universe. In the movie "Previous Destination", John is like such an electron, he is his own parent, his own child, his own enemy, and finally his own terminator. He travels through time and can He has come into contact with people from different eras, but there are thousands of worlds and a vast sea of people, but he is the only one who has a close relationship with him. As Robertson said "you are the only one, free from history, ancestry". He seems to be independent of history. Add him, and history remains the same. If you remove him, history will not make any waves. His life, like the myth of Ouroboros, ends with a title, and it begins and ends again and again.
"Do I have a choice?" "You always have a choice"
can change your destiny through time and space, but in the end, you need to maintain your own destiny according to the established arrangement. The
whole life is a given destiny. No matter how struggling, history will eventually develop according to the established track, inevitable and unchangeable. I remember when Liu Cixin won the Hugo Award for "The Three-Body Problem", a foreign commentator said, "Because it is a science fiction novel written by a Chinese, human beings will not be able to get out of the fate of destruction in the end. If it is written by an American, the result will be certain. It's not like this". Many American science fiction movies about time travel can describe fate, including such atypical travel as "Foreseeing the Future" and "Minority Report", even in such a situation, problems such as the grandfather paradox will be encountered. Presumably if you can travel through time and space, changing your destiny is what many people hope, and in this movie, his job is to prevent those disasters that have happened, and everything he owns is destiny, whether he is in the organization or not. When he came to the end of his life and tried to convince his former self to break the cycle and move forward together, he excitedly said, "Do you want to know what will happen to us tomorrow?" But he still failed. He seems to have a choice, but in fact he has no choice, all his choices have been locked in the established destiny.
The film leaves a question at the end of whether he was able to prevent the big bang in March 1975. Finally in the laundry
store, he thought he had found the killer before the explosion, and shot. But when asked "Your next attack will kill
10000 more", he did not defend or deny, but said "We are Roberson's puppets, he framed us"
, on the other hand, Roberson told Flash Bomber His attitude was ambiguous, "If it wasn't for Flash Bombers, this organization wouldn't have grown up
. " If you want to go down from here, it seems to be entering a conspiracy theory.
