Analysis of Thrillers- The Butterfly Effect




















'The Butterfly Effect', (2004) Directed by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber.
I watched this film a while ago and my first impression was how unusual and jam packed it is. There is always something important going on- what with the whole point of the film. The theory in the film is that one tiny difference in the time continuum will change the rest of history like stepping on a butterfly. The same lifetime of the main antagonist changes repeatedly throughout the film due to his ability to change events in history just by focusing his thoughts to travel back in time inside his head.

I feel that both 'The Butterfly Effect' and 'Clouds' portray memories of the antagonists' childhood which shows their unhappiness. 'Clouds' shows how Anna has turned towards drug addiction as her 'sanctuary' because of being depressed because of what has happened to her, and not being strong enough to pull herself out of negative thinking.
