Comments on The Sum of History

Victor and Raina were childhood friends, but because of a car accident when they were young, Raina had to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. Victor loves Lena very much, especially after marriage. Lena is pregnant, and soon they will have their own lovely baby. They are extremely happy.

Victor is a physics professor in a university. He and his assistant successfully designed a shocking physics project. They can send emails to people in the past to change some states of the present space. At first, they experimented with cubes of sugar, and five cubes of sugar folded out of thin air appeared under the empty cup cover. It was amazing and they were very excited.

In order to further verify the feasibility of the project, they decided to send an email to a young man named Tom who was going to die 25 years ago. The email was signed Raina at the end, and Tom could not reply to the email. According to the e-mail, Tom successfully won the cattle race, and then, according to the e-mail, he bought a painting from an unknown painter with the money he won from gambling on cattle, and buried it in a designated place.

And in the parallel space 25 years later, Victor and his assistant successfully dug up the painting buried by Tom, which was priceless at this time. They are very excited, and they will gain fame and fortune because of this epoch-making project, attracting worldwide attention.

Victor is wondering whether this experiment can be used to stop the car accident that paralyzed his beloved Lena's lower body. He recalled the exact time and details of Raina's car accident, and sent an email to Tom at that time, asking him to stop a gray car at the roadside of a park. Although Tom was puzzled, he did it with an example of betting on cattle. He and his girlfriend were waiting by the park road, watching the passing cars carefully. A gray car came at a high speed, and Tom waved and intercepted it. The car swerved and hit Tom's girlfriend. In a panic, Tom handed his mobile phone to two children coming by and asked them to make an emergency call. Tom was very surprised when he heard the little girl say her name was Raina on the phone. Tom's girlfriend died, but Tom, who should have died because he went to a midnight activity with his friends, survived.

In the time and space after 25 years, although Lena is healthy, Victor didn't stay with Lena as he wished, and even found that Lena was with Tom and had two children.

Victor decided to kill Tom in the past. Looking for news about past car accidents, he sent an email to Tom, asking him to wait for himself at a station. Tom went with his good friend Dimi, and Dimi was killed by accident. Tom was heartbroken and decided to leave this place and travel around the world.

After 25 years, Victor is still not with his beloved Raina. They are both single. Victor confessed that Raina was rejected, and he decided to try again.

This time he sent an email to Tom, asking him not to do anything on the way to the park. As a result, Victor, who was still a child, was hit to save Raina, and his lower body was paralyzed. Raina, a child, said when she visited Victor that she would take care of him in the future.

At this point, the movie is over. I wonder if Victor in another space has gained Raina's love and will try to change the past again.

I think I have gained love. A good movie always has a lot to express, so I will simply talk about my own views.

First of all, Tom, who would have died, didn't die, but his girlfriend died unexpectedly.

The passerby who should have been killed at the bus stop was replaced by Tom's good friend Dimi;

Victor changed Tom's fate, and Tom married Victor's beloved Raina;

In the end, Victor was paralyzed in bed, and Raina went to visit, which was the same as the beginning when Raina was paralyzed in bed and Victor went to visit.

I think the first important expression means that the eternal history or the total energy of the world is unchanged. No matter how the process changes, A will become B, and the life you want to live will become the life I want to live. The sum of events and roles is constant. What should have happened is doomed to happen, as if it were just randomly assigned to each role by God, but it is fair to each role. Because people are also an energy body, if you do more good and less evil, you will have more total energy, and if you do more evil and less good, you will have less total energy, less luck and more disasters. Buddha said life I is a process of constantly cultivating the soul and perfecting the self-realm, and he believes that the soul realm cultivated in this world will be transferred to the next life, and the good and bad consequences that have not been reported in this life will always be reported in the next life or in another space. I think it makes sense, too. The unknown should still be filled with awe.

I think the second meaning is that if you love someone, you have to give or sacrifice yourself to get it. At the beginning, Victor never gave up on the paralyzed Lena, caring for her, and finally reaped her love. At the end, Victor was paralyzed to save Raina, and Raina said that she would always take care of Victor. Victor sacrificed himself for this. In the middle, Victor sacrificed Tom or Tom's friends several times, but he never got Lena's love.

Actually, I didn't understand some details. I have to watch it for the second time. I think this movie is meaningful. I said a lot. I just hope I didn't watch it for nothing. Haha.
