THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT (Eric Bress and J.Mackye Gruber, 2004)

What would you do if you could change your past? How do you think your life would be if you changed something that happened some years ago and which you did not really like? Is this really the solution to our problems? To change the past in order to change our present and our future? Or at least the present of others... Just imagine that it would be possible for you to change some aspects of your past that marked your life forever. Just think in it. If you changed those events the rest of your life wouldn't have been as it really was, but at the same time you would have those happenings in your mind, even though for the rest of the people they would have never occured. So, what would it be your reality if you knew what really happened but you changed so and as a consequence, the reality for the rest changes? For me this movie is quite shocking. My feelings after watching it are not possible to be explained. Confusion, surprise, sadness, questions... Why do we always want to change our past? Would you do it for the person you love despite the consequences? Change one thing, and change everything.
