Time

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2007)

Just watched Donnie Darko and found it so similar to Butterfly Effect. Donnie travelled back in time to save his girlfriend who was killed on a car accident, a friend called Frank who he shot in the eye after he ran over his girlfriend accidentally, and his mother and sister who would be killed in a plane crash.
The idea of Time Travel fascinated human beings from the beginning of time! When the time was born we all knew that we would stop seeing it grow at some point.
Many people imagine time as a line. They draw a line and point somewhere in the middle of it as the current time, then they place anything before now as the past and anything after now as future.
This film gave me a feeling that time is not really on a line, it perhaps loops back on a circle, or may be it is not even restricted to two dimensions.
The reason we do not understand how to go back and forth in time is because it is really no back and forth option. Imagine yourself at some point over a horse saddleThe point that sits both at maximum and minimum. Move to left or right and you will fall to a lower state, move forward or backward and you will move to a higher stateyou are at your optimum states, so there is no way out.
Would you change your death day, if you knew your death would save the lives of people you love?
