The Butterfly Effect

Having explosive diarrhea for the past two days. Am sure you are not interested to know the process of how did it developed and happened. Anyway, the interesting part of what happened last night was, with the combination of bloated stomach, lose of appetite, and lack of flexibility, i was lying on the sofa watching an old movie called Butterfly Effect.

Frankly, i didnt know that the movie was this good. The cast wasnt even attractive, come on. Ashton Kutcher? whenever i think of him, Demi Moore will popped up in my head. Its not that he is a bad actor or what, its just that his personal life had overshadowed his true talent as an actor. Anyway back to the movie, seriously, I have a hard time removing my eyes from the screen. Even when my stomach make the unavoidable call, i have to quickly paused the movie, ran to the bathroom to heed the call, and ran out and jumped into the sofa to continue the movie.

Ashton acts as a young man who blocks out harmful memories of significant events of his life. As he grows up, he finds a way to remember these lost memories and a supernatural way to alter his life. And boy it works, he manage to turn back time not once, but multiple times and everytime he did that, it changes the entire history of his life. The problem its not only his life which was being altered, but also his loves ones, families and his friend's life. He is quite lucky that the final time he did this, he manage to pull off and everyone had led a good life in this version of life.

It sorta led me to think that, things which we did everyday, maybe its just a very tiny gesture or a little decision which we made can eventually stir us to another direction in our life. Just like the caption which was shown when the movie starts:

The flapping of butterfly wings could eventually culminate in a typhoon on the other side of the world

Imagine if i decided not to meet up with Peter's cousin for yum cha after my prom night back in year 2004. Forget about becoming his wife, I would never had the chance of knowing Peter at all. If i didnt save enough money to go to bought the ticket to fly to UK for further my studies, i would never know my dear sisters at all.

Scary huh.

So, i kinda agreed with Edward lorenz's chaos theory, in the end its all about the cause-and-effect. And i have always acknowledge the fact that we may not make good decision all the times, but whatever decision we made, we need to take the consequences.

In short, it was the second movie after "Inception" which gives such as good mind warping cinematic experience to its viewers. Kudos!
