The Butterfly Effect 蝴蝶效應(yīng)
Evan Treborn has lost track of time. From an early age, crucial moments of his life have disappeared into a black hole of forgetting, his boyhood marred by a series of terrifying events he can't remember. What remains is the ghost of memory and the broken lives around him--the lives of his childhood friends, Kayleigh, Lenny and Tommy. Throughout his childhood, Evan was under the care of a psychologist who encouraged him to keep a journal, detailing the events of his day-to-day life. Now in college, Evan reads from one of his journals and finds himself thrust suddenly, inexplicably back in time. He comes to realize that the notebooks he keeps under his bed are a vehicle by which he can return to the past and reclaim his memories. But these recollections only leave Evan feeling responsible for the damaged lives of his friends, most crucially that of Kayleigh, his childhood sweetheart who he continued to love into adulthood. Determined to do something now that he was incapable of doing then, Evan purposely travels back in time, his present-day mind occupying his childhood body, in an attempt to re-write history and spare his friends and loved ones these traumatic experiences.
伊萬曾經(jīng)有一個糟糕的童年,因?yàn)樗男袨殛J下了大禍,令他童年充滿不堪回憶的往事。而事實(shí)上,他患有間歇性失憶癥,確實(shí)只依稀記得一點(diǎn)可怕的情景,這些情景一直糾纏著他的正常生活。伊萬接受心理學(xué)家建議,把瑣碎生活記在記事本里,卻偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)通過記事本回到過去。
這時他才清楚記起,童年時候的自己做了那么多的錯事。他幻想著用現(xiàn)在的意識,潛入童年的身體,去彌補(bǔ)種種過失給人們帶來的傷害,尤其是希望與當(dāng)年暗戀的凱西最終走回一起。然而他一次次的跨越時空的更改,只能越來越招致現(xiàn)實(shí)世界的不可救藥。一切就像蝴蝶效應(yīng)般,牽一發(fā)而動全身。
推薦理由:“過去”——既想回憶又想忘記,每個人都有過光輝或者黑暗的過去,都會對現(xiàn)實(shí)產(chǎn)生無形的影響。然而過去已成現(xiàn)實(shí),后悔已然晚矣。
