The Butterfly Effect

"The fluttering of a butterfly's wings can cause a typhoon half way across the world"
-Chaos Theory

i just watched that movie...and im kicking myself stupid because why havent i watched that show earlier? it was bloody damn good.

Astin Kutcher (spelling) proved me wrong, i thought he could only act in comedies and slapsticks..

this is another one of those REALLY rare "perfect plot"ed movies, where i couldnt find any really apparent contradicting events thruout the whole show. but we all know theres no such thing as perfect...

who was the 1st "still-birth"? if it was not explained, then why have it as part of the plot? hmmmm *ponders*

I love but i hate shows like these, when they start messing around the timeline more than once.. makes me feel so warped.

the scary bit about the movie when you draw it together with real-life as a comparison..

Evan (Kutcher) had the illusion of the power he has, to change the past then the future. but it was already predetermined. like Fate? in this world? no matter what he did in the past and all, and whatever the outcome, he was still "destined" to die (the 2nd still-birth). so did he change anything at all?

is our world? subject to that rule as well? no matter what, even with Godly powers depicted in the show, we cannot change our course of life?
*shudders*

anyway, if you havent watched it yet, you should. i thought perfect plotted hows like this doesnt exist anymore..

i would really recommend Secret Window as well,
Both SAWs,
these are the movies that were able to compeltely stump cynics like me when it comes to detecting movie loops and holes.

Yeap, Ashton Kutcher was really stunning in "The butterfly effect",it's suprisingly a good move. And that somehow wrapped up the whole stereotypical view towards certain category of actors. Yeap, n i agreed that.. it's hard nowadays to find perfect plotted and "original" movies, not some blockbusters that made their names through some stars or movies that based on New York Times Best sellers..

Secret Window was alright tho.. n yeah, watch the world's fastest Indian, if you havent yet.. it's not bad.. at least it's to my liking

yeah im planning to watch "fastest Indian" too..but its not a show i would wanna watch in the cinema...maybe ill get a disc or something..

and Clara, yeah thse were the good times :) i still feel guilty for being late all the time =p

didnt Ron (our media leturer) thought us how to be especially critical when waching movies? like my cousin Fred, his brother, the whole cousin thingo and i, we always poke fun of alot of movies after we walk out of the cinema..even since when i was a kid.. so im kinda "conditioned" to be able to enjoy only the best movies out there.

so, when we say a movie is good...its good :D
