FUCK

THAT

very nice

I liked but there were a few things I couldn't get off my mind.
SPOILERS BELOW







When Jane became John, she should have recognized her new face as the man who impregnated her. I mean it's a pretty huge deal to not remember the face of someone who knocked you up.
I mean she spent what, a year in the hospital I think it was? So not that much time passed.

time travel idea is already broken
anything going backwards is not really explicable
good idea though with the dual sex organs

Finally saw it.



seconded.

So from what I understood. Those 3 ppl are the same person, going round and round in time. By doing so, he's killing innocent ppl for the greater good, untill he finaly loses his mind due to all the jumps made and decides to kill without a greater cause. Right?

What I dont get is, why does the cycle keep going. Is it because some things are, as they said, inevitable? So to prevent that, the cycle must continue?

In any case, was enjoyed watching it.

i will take a wild guess and say because the time machine failed to decomission and he couldn't resist to not use it again and again to stop fizzle. in the end he needed to convince himself that he himself was the fizzle bomber so he could die within the 53 year range so the organization did not know his time machine didn't fail decommission.
but he realized in the end the way out was to not kill his older self so the 53 year would pass and be out of reach of time machine and would go on track, however, that did not happen.
basically i think the movie is saying he is too attached to his/her past or the fizzle bomber until the end,otherwise he wouldn't need the time machine.

It's called predestination because of the predestination paradox. The predestination paradox states that you cannot change the past, by going back in the past to change an event, you will end being the thing responsible for the event. (I am paraphrasing big time)

The entire creation of the temporal agency was because of the fizzle bomber. In doing so, they've saved more people by preventing crime than the fizzle bomber has done himself. It's like the ouroboros ring that john wore. The cycle continues because it needs to continue to perpetuate itself, otherwise there is no system.

When he said some things are inevitable, he is basically saying that you can't change things.

Say your brother died in a car crash 2 years ago, you went back in time to stop the car crash, only you would actually be the cause of the car crash in the first place.

The thing is, the fizzle bomber wasn't part of the original story. They just threw that in there to give the rabbit hole more depth. It just made the mindfuck that much more of a mindfuck.

If you want a good example of the predestination paradox, just look at the terminator series.

In the first movie, the terminator is sent back in time to assassinate the mother of John Connor (the leader of the resistance) It is destroyed and it's parts are salvaged, creating a timeline where the creation of the T-800 is actually possible. In addition, Kyle Reese is sent back in time to protect Sarah Connor and ends up fathering the leader of the resistance.

Interesting concept... chicken or the egg. Thing that I did not like... not possible... there has to be a first point [entity... baby... adult].

EDIT: father, mother, child is the same person, and so is the time cop = 1 person.
