The butterfly effect is the metaphor of the chaos theory. The theory is explained with a great example that also appears in the movie: “It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly’s wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world.” It means that everything you do even little actions can change in a relevant way your life or maybe others.

“The butterfly effect” is a movie directed by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber. This Drama and psychological thriller tells the story of a guy named Evan who has the power to travel to the past and change the things to try to fix his future but also their friend’s lives. “The butterfly effect” has great actors in screen; Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart. You must know that the effects of this movie are simple, this is not an action or lasers movie, this is a movie for persons with brains who like to think.

It had been said that all persons have many dimensions in their lives. What does it mean? Maybe you know about the past, the present and the future, but they are you parts of the time. These branches of time have more levels or dimensions in each one. To explain it in a better way there’s an example: Maybe you are crossing the street. In the first dimension you passed without problems, in the second you were hit by a car…and in the third one (but not the last) you did not crossed the street.

The objective of the movie is not to tell you which decision in your life is correct and which not. It tries to tell you that everything you do maybe can kill a person and it is not really your fault, it tries to demonstrate you in a graphic way that your life is not a random game. All decisions you have to make in your life require time because as I told you before it is really significant for your future.

My conclusion for the butterfly effect is that it’s a movie that you have to watch it twice because it has a lot of metaphors and psychological meanings that maybe you could not understand the first time. It is not a movie for the lazy brains. I consider it my favorite movie because it makes me think after I watched it, and every time I do it, I think the stars in the films couldn’t be better, because I really think they did a great job and make this movie, a movie that you must see.
