Once time travel proves to be viable, problems ensue. For example, if we go back in time and kill our own mother or grandmother, where do I come from? This chaotic logic is known in scientific circles as the "grandmother paradox", and in order to solve this problem, the so-called "grandfather contradiction" theory was subsequently proposed. The theory is that if you were to go back in time and murder your grandfather, one of the problems that would arise was that if you succeeded, a new world would emerge, and because you didn't exist at all, it would be impossible for you to go back in time and murder your grandfather in real life. That is, with an external law of physics, which allows people to return to the past time and space, but prohibits all actions that may lead to paradoxes in the future.

Any science fiction movie about time and space travel is basically based on the principle theory of "grandfather contradiction theory", and the creative ideas of this type of film are also divided into two different genres: one is the time and space travel theory represented by the "Back to the Future" series, which strictly follows the "grandfather contradiction theory".

In the first episode of the series, the main character, Martin, travels back 30 years to meet and be courted by his mother, who was a girlhood, as he was hit by his grandfather's car in place of his father. In order to prevent himself from disappearing, Martin also has to let his father and mother meet and fall in love. This plot design is not just to increase the drama of the film, but to be constrained by the "grandfather contradiction theory", which Martin must do in order to conform to the "rules".

The other genre goes the other way, and all plots are built on the basis of subverting the "grandfather contradiction theory". The future can be changed at will, and even you can kill yourself, and the film "Butterfly Effect" is one of the classics.

Of course, there are also movies where the protagonist does not directly travel through time and space, but connects with the past or future through a certain medium. The script in Lin Mingyang's hand, called "Connecting the Future", tells such a story, but this idea is not the original of the author of the script. In the sci-fi movie "Black Hole Frequency", which was released as early as 2 years, a similar plot has already appeared.

The film is about a stormy night the day before his father's death. The main character, John, discovers an old-fashioned radio he used to use in the room left by his father, and he starts fiddling with it, only to receive a voice from the radio from a firefighter who claims to be Frank in 1969.

John talked with the man all night. When he finally became convinced that this man was his young father, he realized that he could change everything now. John took the time to remind Frank how to get out of the terrible fire on the 12th, and he wanted to save his father from the clutches of death. The next day when John woke up. Finding a picture of his silver-haired father on the wall, John was ecstatic to know that he had changed the past and was in front of a new present. But then something terrible happened, and a series of brutal murders changed his life, and his mother became a victim of it. Father Frank must travel back in time through the radio frequency to stop a murder that would later change the fate of their family. And every time Frank changes something in his plane, John wakes up in a different present...

The protagonist of this film, John, does not really go back in time, he just communicates with another dimension of time through a strange radio, but the time and space of the past and the time and space of the present are entangled. So when John changed one of them, there was a cascading effect that changed his current situation in an instant.

In "Connecting the Future", the screenwriter simply upgraded the tool to connect the present and the future from a tape recorder to a change that can hardly be called an innovation. What really interests Lin Mingyang is that his future self in the story calls his current self and guides his current self to make changes. and then affect the future plot setting. …,

When the future Peter realized that every time he talked to his present self on the phone, he changed to another way of talking to "himself", and he began to reminisce about the past with his present "self", and Peter in the present found that there was no secret in front of the other party, everything he had done, every thought in his heart. The other party knows it all clearly.

At this time, Peter finally began to believe that what he was holding in his hand was indeed a mobile phone that could connect to the future. In order to make Peter fully believe in this fact, the future he asked the current Peter to write down a series of numbers in the diary at random, and when Peter did not reveal any information, the future self accurately reported the set of numbers, which made Peter completely believe in the future "self".

Under the guidance of his future "self", Peter's life changed dramatically: he summoned up the courage to confess to the prettiest girl in school, and finally formed a happy family with her; He seized every possible opportunity and developed smoothly in his career. Peter found that he didn't need to think about it at all, and that his future "self" would always have more than 50 years of experience, and he could do everything with a phone call a day.

This wonderful state of affairs is eventually terminated by the sudden and unexpected death of his future "self", and without help from his future "self", Peter's life begins to become a mess, and his habitual dependence makes him lose the ability to deal with problems independently, and eventually his company goes bankrupt and his wife chooses to leave him because of an extramarital affair.

Destitute and destitute, Peter ends up on the streets, leaving only the mobile phone that can no longer be connected to the future. Just when he felt hopeless in his life and was about to commit suicide, human scientists made a major breakthrough in the study of time-traveling technology. In despair, Peter saw hope, and a life-changing plan began to be born in his mind.

Ten years later, Peter succeeded in replicating another plane, and in the same year, the Human Space-Time Authority was established. Peter uses time smuggling technology to send his mobile phone to himself 50 years ago, and he wants to use this mobile phone to change his current life.

Everything went back to the same place, and then the story started again, in Chen Feng's opinion, this is the most exquisite idea in the script of "Connecting the Future". And the most brilliant idea of this idea is to provide people with the opportunity to regret it again and again.

No one is completely satisfied with their life. Therefore, the most basic setting in the plot, the hypothesis about starting over once or even many times, will bring people many false fantasies and endless desires. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
