SLC-S25/W4- Movie Snapshots| Time Travel and twist

---

Hi there.

Once again, welcome to my blog. It's been a nice time out here. Enjoying the week and I believe each and every one of us does. However, we are back to work with another challenge which is going to be discussing on time travel. Most often these are characters of Sci-Fi movies which we are going to elaborate.

Have you ever watched a movie? and be like God damn
I wasn't expecting that, I could have never dreamed of that. That is what Sci-Fi movies looks like. It is much more of a Twist that at some point you are thinking you are getting all the ideas and in the next minute, boom something else happened and you are left wondering with toes hanging up.

Let's dive in today's work, and discuss on a must-watch movie, which is not so much in the premiers, but then it carries a great sense of wonder. It is not something you will find easily online, as it is a movie which on a low budget yet impactful. It is designing such a way that audience will have to revisit the movie multiple times in order to understand the real plot.

Scanning through a series of movies. Checking on which one was good enough, long ago I came across this particular movie which has a complicated yet interesting storyline. I have mentioned it last time as a top 5 movie which is a must watch. "PRIMER".

Primer is a sci-fi movie that was released dated back to 2004, with an interesting plot. it is staring the main characters Abe and Aaron. In order to better understand the concept of this movie, we are going to focus on the main idea of the movie and not elaborate on every detail as it were not add interest to our twist.

To deepen your understanding of this movie I am going to do it in the form of a plot chart which is going to elaborate the various tactics in which this movie was carry out on.

Primer

In the beginning of this movie, it is starring the actors Aaron and Abe, who have intentions of making it big with the financial market. Perhaps there were science enthusiast who were moved to use their technology and turn it into finance. While working in the garage, they came across an abandoned project, which was much more in the configuration of a time machine.

Abe was the first person who came across this invention, afterwards. He decided to work on it separately of which he made some modifications to the time machine after a series of attempts, he tried out this machine and it works. Impressed with the result, he decided to introduce this machine to his friend Aaron.

As the movie proceed, Abe has tried this time machine multiple times and has moved back in time and confirmed it. Introducing this concept to Aaron, they purposely decided that they are going to use their invention for building wealth. This was about switching in time loops of the financial Market, getting back in time and getting knowledge of the financial markets, so just watching it movement the previous day before heading back and applying it in real time.

Abe, while working on this project, decide to build a safe box in such a way that if the time machine doesn't work or if something happens, he could use the safe box to return back in time and stop himself from ever entering the time machine and continue leaving his normal life. Let's get the story behind this time travel plot.

Traveling in time means someone can exist in multiple dimensions at the same time. But they cannot be found In a particular realm twice. Meaning you and your double could not be in the same place at the same time. This will affect the notion of time travel and equally distort the future or the past.

Using a plot chart, I will illustrate how they were able to use this machine to bring the magic that we just watched.

Let's say it's a Monday morning, the stock market are going on as usual. The two friends will enter the time machine and travel back in time to the previous day, and and watch the reaction of the market. How the charts are moving. In a 6-hour time rate, they will return to the safe box and return back to the previous day. Let's say Monday morning And resume the day usually. But with the previous knowledge, they make huge financial gains from the stock market.

It is Monday morning, exactly 9:00 a.m., The two friends entered the time machine and travel back in time. To avoid themselves being seen as double, they will hide themselves in a hotel and wait for 6 hours time frame. As time passes by, it is finally 3:00 p.m., The two friends enter back the time machine And head back to Monday morning 9:00 a.m. And resume there activities.

Now this is the real twist, it is 9:00 a.m. on a Monday morning, Aaron and Abe will enter the time machine and travel to a hotel in which they will be hiding for the rest of the 6 hours time frame. As time passes by, they make sure not to interfere with the outside world as they could not exist two time frames at the same point. Fast forward to 3:00 p.m., They were both enter The time machine and return home.

Moving back a little. As I mentioned earlier, Abe was the first to try it out, In such a way that he had traveled back in time, and then met Aaron and explained the concept to him. He even showed him himself by the time he was visiting the time machine to begin the time travel. Using their idea to make profit. Using the time machine, they discovered that they could make you more profit by traveling back in time and observing the financial Market and predicting it movements in which their actual selves in real life take action on the financial Market.

As pictured on the chat below, while they are waiting in the hotel, They could predict the future by watching the movement of the financial Market and their actual selves carried on with trading the financial Market based on the knowledge they have processed back in time. When it's 3:00 p.m., they will enter the time machine and either return or disappeared in time. While their actual selves continue with the usual daily activities.

I believe this illustration has given us the since in which the machine was being implemented. And how the profit keeps flowing in.

Unlike, on focusing on the positive side, there was a downside to this magnificent story. They have previously agreed not to take their mobile phones along in a time travel. However, something happened as Abe1 forgot his phone and travel with it to the hotel. While at the hotel, his wife called he answered. By the time he return back from the travel, his wife called again. This was a double scenario indicating that the Abe0 at the hotel did not receive the call.

Worried about the implications, he just cheered about it and couldn't predict what will happen to this broken rule. Equally at some point, Aaron discovered a bleeding in his ear due to excess Time travel. And equally towards the end Abe collapse Which are all the consequences of excessive time travel.

Seeing this, they decide to use save box and reset everything like it never happened but they encounter a problem. Abe1 was already existing in three multiple time frames and Aaron1 in two. Not only did this happen, they also discovered that Mr bruge who was an investor in the project? Have actually have access to the time machine and traveled back in the past as well. They could tell because few days ago they saw him looking fresh. And presently he looks very old and unkempt. They could say he has had access of the time machine.

With everything that are happened, towards the end, Abe decide to go back to his normal life. While his other versions travel to different locations, France, Germany and Aaron to did the same.

It was much more of a plot twist with unpredictability. At some point, they have to travel in time to stop some events happening. Take for instance a case which have not been mentioned, but it is actively part of this story, where Abe actually have to drop one of his multiverse and lock him in the closet So that he can go back in the past and change an idea he had to punching Mr. Flat on the face for cheating them at some point in time.

This movie it's all of a masterpiece which is a must watch. And you need to be more pro-active to actually get the whole story behind it. Pay attention, go watch it. And come back for more.
