Hello Steemians,
This week, as part of the SLC-S25/W4 challenge, I've chosen to revisit a masterpiece that is at once disconcerting, masterfully written, and incredibly moving: Edge Of Tomorrow, from USA, directed by Doug Liman and adapted from the novel "All You Need Is Kill" by Hiroshi Sakurazaka
Before I hit the target let me appreciate my wonderful community @Steem4Nigeria and @ruthjoe for making this contest a successful one
Movies with time travel and twist is the best movie.When we talk about time travel movies, they are movie that are exciting, movies that plays with your mind it's like a puzzle that needs to be solved.
Time travel movie with twist it's like going to a journey that you meet things and also learn about the future or from the past
They are cool movies because when you watch it you will discover more clues or hint that makes the story even more interesting.
Let take for an instance, you picturing yourself caught in a never-ending loop where you keep having the same day over and over again? It sounds like a nightmare and scary doesn't it? But what if you could use this loop to your benefit to develop, evolve, and ultimately save the world? That was happened to Cage an innocent guy.
This movie Edge of Tomorrow is the best and cool movie with a really awesome story that's full of action, adventure, and surprises. You'll be on the edge of your seat the whole time, wondering what's going to happen next. It's like an exciting experience, and you will love every minute of it.
Time Travel: Loop
Here is the movie I watched that involves time travel
Edge of Tomorrow: Major Cage dies, but then he wakes up to the same day again. This keeps happening to him again and again. The good thing is that he remembers everything that he did wrong, so he can learn from it and do better next time. You get a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance, and so on.
Think about a game where you have to start over from the beginning every time you make a mistake, What a pain. That is what is going on with Major Cage. He just wants to stay alive, figure things out and improve. Every time he dies, he gets to try again with what he learned before.
The loop is a masterful plot device, allowing Cage to learn from his mistakes, adapt to new situations, and develop his skills and strategies. With each restart, he becomes more knowledgeable and confident, using his past experiences to take down the aliens and ultimately find a way to escape the loop.
Also Master Sergeant Farell a tough drill sergeant who doesn't mess around. He's the one who puts Major Cage through hell, pushing him to his limits and beyond. With a no-nonsense attitude.
Farell is the kind of guy who expects nothing but the best from his soldiers, and he's not afraid to yell, scream, or throw a little bit of tough love to get the job done. Despite being tough and demanding, Master Sergeant Farell genuinely cares about his soldiers, puts in the effort to train them rigorously, and wants to prepare them for the harsh realities of war, so they can stay safe, build resilience, and ultimately come out on top.
Brendan Gleeson’s General Brigham General Brigham is a high-ranking military leader who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. He's the one who makes the tough decisions, like sending Major Cage into the fray.
Despite his status, General Brigham is not a faceless bureaucrat; he is a man who has witnessed the horrors of war personally and is anxious to find a means to change the tide. General Brigham is a multifaceted character who provides complexity to the military hierarchy, balancing authority and compassion.
Time Twist: Paradox
Major Cage is stuck in a time loop. He dies and wakes up again to the same day. But he remembers everything that happened before. So, he learns from his mistakes and gets better and better.
Imagine you're playing a game and you keep dying, but you get to try again and again. That's what's happening to Cage. He's learning from his mistakes and becoming a better fighter each time he dies. But everyone else is stuck in the same day. They don't remember anything. They're like, What's going on? while Cage is like, "I know what to do this time."
It's a cool idea, right? Cage is like a superhero because he remembers everything.
The paradox occurs from the fact that Cage's actions in the past are simultaneously the cause and effect of his own existence in the future. He learns from his mistakes and adapts to the situation, but the question remains: where did the knowledge and skills come from in the first place?
Major Plot Twist: The True Nature of the Loop
The major plot twist in Edge of Tomorrow comes when Cage discovers that the loop is not just a random occurrence, but rather a result of his contact with the alien's blood. The alien's blood contains a unique property that allows Cage to inherit the alien's memories and experiences, effectively resetting his time to a specific point.
The movie's twist raises questions about the nature of time and reality. The question goes this way: Do Cage's actions influence the alien's memories, does Cage not in control of his life and destiny ? Or could he's lineage be from the aliens' that could lead to his traumatic way of reviving again each time he does?
The time loop makes Cage think about who he really is and what he's doing. He's not just a soldier fighting for others, he's got his own thing going on. It is like, he's figuring out his purpose and what makes him tick. This makes him a more interesting and complex character.
Edge of Tomorrow is super exciting because of its cool time travel plot and unexpected twists. It's like, you're on the edge of your seat the whole time, wondering what's gonna happen next! The movie's got a lot of depth and complexity, making it really stand out in the sci-fi world.
