Nevertheless, the theories involved in Frequency<\/em> is much simpler and easily understood. The son talks to the father 30 years ago in the past\u00a0over the old machine and tries to save the father from a ‘predestined’ death as he has already experienced. Next day he woke up and found the world completely changed. Saving his\u00a0father’s life took the price of his mother’s.\u00a0a\u00a0murder took his mother’s life, whose convicted caused the death of another few innocents.\u00a0Yet the murderer was still at large for 30 years until the son’s time. The guilty son, who happens to be a cop\u00a0tries\u00a0to save the innocents from the hands of this hidden devil by changing the past, and eventually changed the life of his own.<\/p>\n The Butterfly Effect<\/em> is a movie that pays much more attention to the psychological world which still\u00a0remains a myth among all sciences. The son, who inherits the character of temporary memory loss from his father experienced something\u00a0that affect all\u00a0his life\u00a0when he was young. The psychologist asked him to write down diaries to record down the past, whilst thirteen years later, as a young psychology majored student, he accidentally found that he can travelled back time to the periods of his memory loss, through reading his childhood diaries. Trying to find a perfect ending, he had to travel back again and again to different times to change the past. He never knew that what he has done has changed the future and change the destiny of many others around him.<\/p>\n The two movies are more or less similar, but watching one of them does not deprive me of the fun of watching the other. After watching Frequncy, The Butterfly Effect <\/em>still drove a thrill feeling all the way down my neck. They have quite different approach and focus on the story lines while foundamentally they talk about how the past affects the future. Frequency<\/em> installs a certain degree of moral value that the evil shall never escape justice through time. Thus the story writer can choose to have a more or less happy ending, whereby the evil had its punishment eventually and the good people lived happily ever after. The Butterfly Effect<\/em> has a more sentimental approach, where people are more emotional, not perfect and they are more like the people that we usually meet on the streets, in the school. There was no right or wrong answer to the son’s choice. Whatever he did to make it better makes something worse. He had to sacrifice his love at the end of the day in order to restore the happiness of all other. This is rather a sad ending. Nevertheless, there is still The Butterfly Effect II<\/em> which I have not watched yet–standard model of a Holiwood Movie–so there is not much about it that I can talk about.<\/p>\n Both of them are nice movies worth watching.
