Wow! Thank you. This movie has gone down in history as one of the most confusing I have seen. I don't do well with movies where it time is inconsistent. I am sure this movie had many confused viewers, but it drives me mad. I saw this movie back in 2007 when it was released. I was very disappointed with it back then. I think I was expecting something different. I saw the film again today and I paid very close attention. I feel that I have a better understanding, but I still have questions! I keep thinking back and wondering about certain things that just don't make sense. Thank you for addressing some of those questions. The biggest question I had was about the car accident itself. Apparently Linda causes the accident she is trying to prevent???? I can't even write it. It's that confusing. Thank you for taking the time to dissect and analyze this film. I read half, but I'm going to take a break.
shareYes, Songbird, it's what they call a predestination paradox--the accident only happens because the accident happens, and because she is trying to prevent it she causes it. I attempt to provide a resolution to that, which you probably know already if you finished the page.
Sorry it took so long for me to respond; I didn't get the notice of your post until today.
