Proceed carefully, because everything can change Ashton Kutcher was firmly associated with an actor who plays roles in youth comedies, but after watching the movie "The Butterfly Effect", I can confidently say that he is an excellent actor of dramatic cinema. Here he revealed his potential, having managed to embody on the screen the amazing Evan, who discovers in himself supernatural abilities to change time and events. Amy Smart is also beautiful. In my opinion, she turned into her "heroines" the best of all. A very emotional, lively performance of the actress, which makes us think that this is really a person from some parallel life. The film begins and continues in such a way that it is difficult to understand what is happening on the screen. A frequent trick of screenwriters and directors, but it works very effectively. And only then we begin to get to know the main characters closer. There are four of them. Evan, the guy who can read his diary, go to the events he reads about, and change the course of history there. Kelly, Evan's good friend and love. And two friends, Lenny and Tommy, each of whom changes in an amazing way when events also change. And here you can clearly see the masterful play of actors who try on completely different images on themselves. You don't even think that the actors of comedy films will prove themselves in this project. The film is very similar in its idea to the work of Ray Bradbury "And the thunder broke." However, here the emphasis is powerfully shifted from some global reasoning about the flapping of a butterfly's wing, to the action of such a flapping in a particular small group of friends. And the development of the plot perfectly demonstrates how dramatically what is happening can change, it is only necessary to slightly change the present. The movie makes you wonder what you would do if you could change your fate and the fate of your loved ones. You begin to imagine different options. In my opinion, if there is such a response, then the movie is great. The film has two endings. You need to look at both, because each will cause different emotions. The film "The Butterfly Effect" is a unique creation of people who approached the project with a soul, knew how to show an amazing story so that people associate themselves with the heroes, empathize and necessarily put themselves in their place. 10 out of 10
