Terrific movie if you're intelligent enough to understand it.

Rating: 9/10 (5 May 2006)

Even though for the most part I'm merely a lurker on these boards, I ABSOLUTELY felt compelled to comment this time around simply because this movie has gotten such unjustly bad reviews by people who just don't get it. I will admit, that watching the movie was very confusing early on and for the longest time it just seemed to have no real point. Okay, so once having discovered his unique gift, this kid can go back in time and change his life's events--BIG DEAL. However, the POINT of the movie is exactly that even IF YOU HAVE THIS POWER, you CANNOT change things, no matter what. Things are supposed to be a certain way--this is determined only by the Fates--and that is something you simply MUST accept. There is no way around this fact.
You may not understand WHY things happen the way they do, but everything happens for the BEST, and that is determined by the Fates, and only the Fates. Don't dwell on how awful your life is, or what terribly tragic, unfortunate thing just happened to you--everything truly does happen for a reason. In the end, the expectant mother is distraught over her miscarriage, but little does she know that is the best thing that could've happened to her, her family, and the never-born child.
