mad world , possibilities

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2008)

When the Mad World was smoothly embedded at the end of the movie, I was totally moved. And The Butterfly Effect quickly rushed through my head. Both of them got a protagonist who had the so called mental problem and they did things like traveling through the time and finally chose a sacrificed way to achieve the universal happy-ending (of course except him), full of mysterious things, and remanded you the life is full of possibilities.
This kind of films is trying to deliver a supernatural story in a logical way, so they ended with a yanking to the stark reality, but the stark reality which should be extremely sad became a happy-ending because the whole movie told us there were ways worse than that. And this mad world still full of possibilities.
There are a lot of intellectual conversations in this film: God, the belief of god, time traveling, English literature, love, fear, and life. I love this movie, mostly for its mind-stimulating story-telling and incidentally for the song Mad World.
