    The butterfly effect.

    I saw it when I was rather young but I thought it was pretty good, apparently people thought it’s edgy.

    Should watch it again now and see if it holds up.

      Saw it as a teenager. Its edgy but I enjoyed watching it.

      Until the prison/stigmata scene that completely broke the movies own rules. The whole fuking point is he goes back in time to change something and he is the only one who knows it. To everyone else that is just how the past has always been. But not in that scene! People actively see the world change due to him changing the past. (Oh and him mutilating himself as a kid changes nothing about his live except for the scars? He ends up in the same jailcell with the same cellmate 25 years later? Sure.) Even as a teenager i realised the gigantic plot hole.

      With that scene its a 3/10 movie for me. But not because it is edgy.

      I saw a version with a different ending (cuz piracy) than that what was widely released in theaters and i really liked it. Have you seen both? Do you know what I’m talking about?

        there’s 3 endings. theater one was where he told the girl at the party he hated her, and they never met.

        second is he goes back to a baby/fetus memory and kills himself or his mom from the womb I think?

        third he runs into the girl as an adult after never meeting her, she went to live with her mom instead of the abusive dad.he recognizes her on the street and starts to follow her, roll credits.

          there’s also a cut scene earlier in the movie where the mom talks about having had multiple failed pregnancies before him

          Hmm I don’t think I’ve ever seen the first… And in the fetus one he strangled himself with the umbilical cord. Fucking dark, but definitely the superior ending.
