The butterfly effect
Yesterday we've watched a fantastic, thrilling movie called the Butterfly Effect with Ashton Kutcher. It's a terrific thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
It's about a young man (Ashton) who suffers from memory blackouts when he finds himself in harmful situations. Since he was seven he kept a diary about his blackouts and many years later he finds out how to remember what has happend back then and is able to kind of travel back in time and change the future. As he uses his powers to try to fix his past and present, the effect escalates, creating alternate realities, many of which are worse than the past that he is trying to change.
Although it is a fiction story it still has a lot of truth in it, which is simply creepy. The title "The butterfly effect" is out of a chaos theory. The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmpsphere that ultimately cause a tornado to appear (or prevent a tornado from appearing).
It's one of the best movies I've watched lately and if you haven't seen it yet - go for it. We've watched it in English with English subtitels which was just fine to understand everything.
