The Best Thing I’ve Ever Seen On YouTube

  • Woah.
  • Carl M
    Nice piece. Would be a great launching point for a discussion.
  • That was a very well put together movie.

    The whole butterfly effect message is a definite gateway towards discussion and debate. Thanks for posting a link to that.
  • I was thinking that this DJ was an angel.

    Think about it.

    He's dropped unceremoniously from the sky....
    His tools of the craft follow the same....
    He alters the deterministic machinery of a situation...?

    It's basically a device for touring the mind of God, pardon such language on an atheist site.

    First you're introduced to the determinism ( the butterfly effect ), that you can skew primary events, but that they have to play out ( i.e. no teleporting the gangsters to Tibet, etc. ) and then the play is run back and forth and back and forth.

    I thought that the broken doll at the end should have been left broken. In the world where great calamities are avoided, invariably a few tiny things might fall apart and we, as humans, must learn to accept a bit of loss as the side effect of meddling supernatural agents making the world in a macro sense, better.
  • I think he was an angel -- definitely. And at the end, the girl could see him for some reason, and she knew he was reshaping time. He wasn't supposed to fix the doll, but he did anyway -- out of pure kindness.

    It was awesome.
