Butterflies in her eyes and looks to kill: The Butterfly effect

(the title is a reference to the song Butterfly by Crazy Town)


Trailer (not the official):


Hesitant to watch this dark movie, I was resilient to call it a dark comedy. Not really knowing anything about the movie going into it, I found myself doubting the comedic aspect throughout. Looking back however, I can see the elements of dark comedy, or at the very least, aspects of dark irony. All throughout the movie Ashton Kutcher's character Evan Treborn relives moments he has blacked out. The audience watching the movie experiences tragic events that happened in Evan's life, which are the moments he goes back to. His first moments reliving the past are merely observant, but eventually he learns to changes his actions in the past, altering the future. After he returns back to the present, life has changed based off of what he did differently. After so many jumps back, Evan has completely ruined his life, and those around him. He comes to the ultimate conclusion on how to fix everything, ending the movie with a game changer, throwing the audience completely off guard.
