The Butterfly Effect was directed and written by Eric Bress and J. MackyeGruber in 2004. It stars Ashton Kutcher as Evan Treborn and Amy Smart as Kayleigh Miller. The film won in 2004 a Pegasus Audience Award in the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film. The film also has two unrelated sequels named The Butterfly Effect 2 in 2006 and The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations in 2009.
The title make reference to a concept which says that a little change in the past, like the flap of a butterfly, could produce a great change in the present.
Evan suffered several traumatic experiences with his father and his uncle when he was a child. Frequently, he blacked out when he was in a stressful situation or when he remembered a past moment seeing a picture or reading his life´s diary. In those moments, he is able to revive past experiences, to modify them and alter his future and the future of his friends. The doctors said that he had a hereditary mental disease, the same problem that his father.
Due to his choices in the past when he has a flashback, his life change in the present. He became a prisoner for killing one of his friends, a disabled person because he lost one of his arms, etc. His objective is to find the way that his mother and his friends are fine. At the end, he decides to take a drastic decision to achieve this objective.
I recommend this film because is really interesting, alls the events happen too fast and you always will be attentive to the screen. If you like the drama films, you will enjoy it.
