The Butterfly Effect is a 20o4 American psychological thriller film directed and written by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber.
Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher), who suffered severe traumas as a boy and a teenager ,blacks out frequently, often at moments of high stress. While in his dorm room reading one of his journals to a girl, he finds that when he reads from his adolescent journals, he travels back in time, and is able to go back to parts of his past. There are consequences to his choices, however, that he then propagates back to the present: his alternate futures vary from frat boy to prisoner to amputee. His efforts are driven by the desire to undo the most traumatic events of his childhood which coincide with his blackouts, including saving the love of his life Kayleigh (Amy Smart), from being molested by her father and tormented by her crazy brother (William Lee Scott).
The actions he takes, and those he enables others to take during his blackouts, change the timeline in the new future wherein he awakes. As he continues to do this, he realizes that even though his intentions are good, the actions he takes have bad consequences. This causes him brain damage. Ultimately he decides that his attempts to alter the past end up only harming those he cares about. He travels back in time once more to the first day he met Kayleigh and scares her away. He succeeds in undoing his childhood as he knew it, and then destroys all his journals so that he's not tempted to bring any of it back.
The film end is the less expected and for me is very sad. The butterfly effect is one of my favorites movies, and Ashton Kutcher is my favorite actor and I think he did a really great job. So I recommend you this movie.
i really like this movie, is different i had never seen a movie like this because it show us the way that a journal can make him back in time and restore his life, at the end he makes what is better form him and for the girl he loves that was to never be friends.
ResponderEliminarI love this movie too. When I saw that Ashton Kutcher was in it i thought that it would be a failure (because I could only see him act in comedy films) but after I saw the film, I was breahless and really impressed with his acting. I remember that in the end, he went to the year when he was born and that, being in his mother's belly, he strangulated himself with the umbilical cord, so he wouldnt be born. Definitley a good movie that makes us thing about the important things in life.
