time travel and the human brain

Rating: 9/10 (22 May 2005)

I think this movie was a great success, although there are many questions concerning the remembering of past blackouts, this movie left me thinking and agreeing with many of the consequent actions.
Even, the lead role, is a rare individual that has the power to recall on past actions and decisions ( time travel ) that he has made. His ability to use and control the full range of his brain, a feat in which no one on earth is capable of doing, or at least a feat that no one outside the walls of an insane asylum, can do. his ability allows him to change and alter what has happened, ultimately changing the life of himself as well as those around him that he loves. As for what this is supposed to share with the viewers is up for grabs, i believe that The Butterfly Effect offers the viewers the thought that even though we may be able to change the way in which we would act in certain situations, the effects will ultimately be "good" for some and consequently "bad" for others. I believe that for every action we ea faced with, the other consequent is the most extremely opposite of the original. THis movie offers a visual account of this thought as we had seen in Even going to jail, amy smarts character becoming a prostitute, and meth head. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, i believe in the ladder.
