The Butterfly Effect
It’s been a long time since I wrote something here. My life is stuck and I don’t feel any progress so I didn’t feel like writing something into my blog. Yet today something really touched me and I have to share it with my readers. As the title already mentions it’s about “The Butterfly Effect”, not the one from the “Chaos Theory” but the film.
So I’ve seen this film today. What’s so special about that? I normally don’t watch any movies at all. But when I saw this one film is on TV some days ago, I recorded it since I couldn’t watch it in the middle of the night. Now, about 15 minutes after I’ve seen it I have to say it’s the best film I’ve ever seen in my life. To show you why I think so I should start explaining what the film is about, huh?
“The Butterfly Effect” is very exciting and makes your mind dizzy at the same time. As a child, Evan Treborn, whos’ dad is in a psychiatry, has a lot of traumatic happenings. Unfortunately he has a blackout eveytime they happen, so he can’t remember what has actually happened. Not even a psychologist can’t figure out, why he can’t remember and they cant do anything against the blackouts.
When he is about 19 years old he discovers a way to review the time spans. He checks on his old friends if the thing he has seen now is what happened then and they tell him, that it’s absolutely accurate. After something bad happens(I don’t wanna spoiler), Evan figures out that he cannot only see what happened back then but he can change what he did back then. With best intentions he starts changing the past forming it as he wants. Even though he only changes small things, the future is changed dramatically each time he changes the past.
Without talking anything more I’ll serve you the trailer for this amazing movie and wish you a pleasant time until I write again.
I first saw this film, I think 1 maybe 2 weeks ago? I agree. It’s such a fantastic film! I really liked the whole concept that was portrayed and they delivered that idea really well…. unlike many other films (most of which are the newer ones). However the ending though, I was really hoping he’d fix everything up… You know, the whole happily ever after cliche. I was also disappointed to see that each time he travelled back in time, things would get worse.
Nevertheless, still an amazing film!
