Clearly and brilliantly directed

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2008)

Butterfly Effect from the past, change one thing and your life would be totally different, positive or negative.
The movie keeps me wondering what my life would be if something really bad didn't happen, or something fantastic missed out from my life. Sometimes we just wanted everything to be "good" in our lives, we forgot how the goods would be emerged from the bads, perhaps it is exactly what makes life so beautiful.
The movie is cleverly directed, though lots of jumping through times, the story is still clearly and brilliantly told. It reminded me of another movie Groundhog Day, a similar story about changing the past, accompanied with some unexpected future, but Butterfly Effect is more outstanding as it tells the story in a more philosophical overtone.
