Oh man you missed the main concept of the plot. Who stole heroine's boat, it's her, heroine's copy version, another heroin stole that boat, you never talk about double action, one heroin went to 1952 & another one remains in current timeline. That's why in climax they are not only Mom & daughter also sisters. The best time travel concept i ever seen in my entire life 🖤 mind blowing screen play 🖤 perfect twists
8/10 for me. The curiosity keeps your eyes on screen throughout the movie. The ending was hard to like but, as you said it was impossible to have a happy ending according to the story.
@@Blaze0249I get the lore and how ppl could like the mystery. But I'm with you bro, nothing really happened lol. Ppl just encountered a weird time travel spot and it helps them uncover mysteries they had. I mean I get it all, but it was all just so boring. Felt like it was building to something and just left you hanging, idk maybe it's just us lol
6/10 here. It tried and it was a cool idea but without reading Wikipedia I wouldn’t have even know that it took place in 1952, 2003,2005, and modern day. They gave no clues. Couldn’t tell by their clothes or cars or really anything at all. Great idea, poor execution.
@@CoboProdz The movie literally tells you what year the events take place. The clues are there. We know Anna gets transported to 1952 because the workers flat-out tell Paris that the year is '52. We also know the year Ellie sees her past mother and infant self is 2005 because it says on a poster talking about the elections. We know Paris' present time is 2003 because the missing posters in 2005 say that he was last seen in 2003. And we know Ellie's present time is 2022 because the paramedics tell Paris that it's 2022 as he's being loaded into the back of the ambulance on a gurney. You just have to pay attention.
this movie reminds me to always give a movie a chance even when it’s a slow burn cause though I enjoyed it, it’s more of a movie I appreciate in hindsight and won’t forget for a while
I realized early that it had something to do with different timelines because everyone in town was looking for Anna. Yet, Paris and his girlfriend never spoke of a missing girl or the need to help in the search - even though they were a part of that lake community. It did keep me interested and intrigued, it was a good movie.
@ you don’t need to make other people to feel bad in order to be proud of yourself for also calling it 💜 Also some of us intentionally went in blind without the trailer 💜 Hope this helps 💜
Great explanation! While watching the movie I said halfway through “this is going to be one of those movies where I’m gonna have to watch it a couple times to get it” well now I don’t really have to but I think I will because it was so good!
Not since the movie "Donnie Darko" have I've been riveted and captivated by a time travel movie, yet at its essence it's more. It's an emotional journey of humanity finding their place in the world where nature proves herself such a beguiling mystery and conduit towards eventual catharsis and singular destiny. Where in conclusion we are effected by the choices we make under random circumstances, and how in the end they truly echo in time. Despite their brevity. I can not recommend this remarkable movie enough for its story telling and emotional roller coaster of a ride as a fan of movie making. Without a doubt this tale will resonate with a fan base who actually gets it, and whose lucky enough to be swept away by it and the tides of time that define it.
Perhaps Alice did mention that she was the future when she recovered in 1952 but people would have told her she was hallucinating and perhaps crazy (knowing the time). So she was smart enough to keep quiet, fit into the life she now had, and make the best of her new life (which she did). As for the times you get to through the portals, remember that Alice said she found some moss that has been extinct for a long time. Not sure it was dinosaur times (that part of Texas was under the great inland sea at that time). With the wolves, perhaps during the Ice Age when they roamed the area.
I haven't seen most of these movies and shows that you summarize, but I watch these because you are my favorite. Thanks for always providing thoughtful and intriguing content, Morph.
@pnut3844able Yes same. It's just silly otherwise. I've heard some people say, "it saves me so much time" as if they have some obligation to quickly get through movies.... 🙄
Both Dark and Caddo Lake appear to have been conceived around the same time, though Dark was released between 2017 and 2020 with a three-season arc, while Caddo Lake began casting in 2021. Both works share a time-travel concept, but Dark presents a broader narrative involving an entire town, whereas Caddo Lake focuses on a small family with a central theme of belonging. In Dark, the portal is found in a cave system, while Caddo Lake uses a swamp, where low tides trigger a series of portals. While Caddo Lake primarily revolves around time travel, Dark expands on the concept in more intricate ways. If you enjoy Caddo Lake, you’ll likely appreciate Dark, a German-language series available on Netflix.
The whole point of the timetravel in the narrative and overall vibe are very diffetent too! Hrre it is used to creat connections, in dark ... Lets just say its dark and about corroding connection with how often it comes to parent vs child killings, incest and all going to hell in a vicious cycle that gets perpetyated on and on....
@@SingingSealRiana @SingingSealRiana Dark delves beyond the realm of backstabbing and incest. It narrates a mother’s desperate attempt to save her dying daughter, a father’s reconciliation with his son, and a boy and a girl’s ultimate sacrifice for the greater good of existence.
Can definitely see the references to Dark but also Predestination. Crazy how long ago that story was written and how many cool takes on it I've seen and still love it every time.
I was watching this with my wife and I figured out that it was 2 separate timelines maybe 30mins into the film. When he’s cuddling with his gf and then it cuts to Ellie and her mom I was like hold up that’s literally the same lady. Then I confirmed it by looking at the cars on the road and the very obvious old Texas tags. (I’m from Texas so this was easily noticeable)then in Ellie’s time line they have iPhones they were using so I figured that was present day on top of her mom looking older and even tho we figured it was 2 separate times I thought it was gonna be a place beyond the pines type of story. But then he in the lake exploring that pipe then he steps partially in the portal and me and my wife completely lost it and was like ooooooh this is getting interesting. I then saw the movie again with my parents and they didn’t catch that it was 2 separate timelines until Ellie confronts her mom in the grocery store parking lot.
The only reason I understood this movie is because I watched the show “Dark” on Netflix. Understood that there was a time loop as soon as I saw a visible portal on the lake. Loved this movie! The only downside is we never got an explanation as to why the portals were occurring, whereas in Dark they explain it all. Most likely due to time constraints tho, so it’s not a deal breaker!
@@aakashvarma143 Bullshit. Predestination was weird intersex propaganda masked as time travel concept. DARK gave a real reason why that area was STALKER type of doom - they had a reactor producing dark materials, rest of course is plot... EDIT: Adding to that, Predestination stole much of its concept from Twelve Monkey's about some shady terror group.
Just watching scenes from this reminds me of "Blink," the Weeping Angels' first appearance in Doctor Who. The lighting, the hospital scene with the Dad, and someone living out their life in the past. I'll have to check it out, it looks like a movie where watching it is a much different experience that hearing about it.
This was one of the best time jump/travel movies I’ve seen in a very long time. I never finished Dark cause the time between season one and season 2 was so long that I forgot what happened in season one. I’ve never gone back to rewatch the first season cause it’s too much haha. I need to get on it. But watching this def gave me DARK vibes. 9/10 for me.
I was literally watching this movie this morning and fell asleep early on, woke up towards the end and was confused af, now i gotta watch it all the way through 😊
I watched the movie, it's a good time travel movie. The only thing that i had to wrap my head around is that the necklace has no origin point and is a paradox.
the thing that confuses me is celeste not remembering that the girl she thought paris left her for looks EXACTLY like her daughter????? if you thought your boyfriend left you for someone and you had an encounter with that woman, i find it very hard to believe you wouldn't remember that face! you might forget what she was wearing, how she smelled like, or even her voice (although, not probable) but the face???? but then she sees the scratches and soimething clicks?? as soon as ellie grows to look like what she looks like, wouldn't you stare at her and be like "this girl looks exactly like the bitch he left me for" ? idk, they could've done something early on in the movie to give us a clue to wrap that part of the story, 'cause otherwise, who else could've caused that loop if not ellie??? isn't it bizarre that ellie looks like someone she thought paris left her for but she never said anything??? also, the necklace, could've been more than one because the name of the company is gemini something. in my family business, named after sunflowers, we have identical bracelets, for all the members, with sunflowers pendents, so idk, could be that... or just a time travel paradox the writers didn't think through.
Maybe that's why Celeste and Ellie's relationship is so strained, Celeste might have always thought that she reminds her of the woman that Paris left her for, that's what I was thinking anyway. Great movie though!
Agreed with Edward. It might be part of the reason why Ellie and her mother Celeste couldnt get along because how similar Ellie looked like the girl she thought Paris left her for. But as a normal human being she couldn't imagine it was the same person, doing time travelling, as the incident happened in 2003 and her daughter Ellie looked like that b!tch only in 2022, 19 years apart. The dots do not connect under normal logical thinking.
@@gigihanmandarin felt the same way as the OP about her never questioning the identical appearance and a formal explanation of "why not" would have helped, but I also came to the same conclusion about their strained relationship and there was no logical way for her to think it was the same person she met in the past, and that her child (relatively 2 yr old? at the time) ended up being the same woman she encountered in the parking lot....so she maybe took the resemblance as a cruel twist of fate with no reason to make things even worse by bringing it up to Ellie or anyone else who would think she is crazy and may need to be put in rehab for drinking.
Yes I thought the same. She recognized Paris when he stole her car. I would think Celeste would have known…shit you look just like the lady in the parking lot.
Yes I thought the same. She recognized Paris when he stole her car. I would think Celeste would have known…shit you look just like the lady in the parking lot. Or maybe tensions were so high she forgot??? I doubt that but maybe?
At 20:40 ish - it's like when watching a prequel when you know characters are dead from the 1st film (or the opposite when you know they're alive...you kind of either lose the suspense or root for them getting clobbered sometimes, just for a change lol)
So why didn’t older Celeste recognize her daughter as the one who stole her necklace in the parking lot? She recognized Paris when he hijacked her car. Ellie looked exactly the same and clothes. Her mom should have realized it was her.
It’s likely why the mother always had tension with the daughter; I imagine subconsciously the familiarity of her face as the daughter grew older and started to resemble the Other Woman would’ve been a big trigger.
Thankfully, I didn't have the plot ruined for me by figuring it out a head of time. My dumb ass was still trying to understand during the last 15 minutes.🤣
So im taking a guess here but I'm going to guess that there's two timeliness going on one ahead of another which is why when he found the necklace and took it home the big reveal was that he already had that necklace in the bag and the portal with the howling just made me think this even more but I'm not even halfway through the recap part of the video yet so guess I'm gon find out.
Absolutely loved this movie and great detailed explanation too. Great job, well done. Watched this without knowing what it was about, before bed! Big mistake cos I was awake all night thinking about it. Lol Even better the second viewing cos you notice everything. In one scene Ellie sees the moths flying away from her and they all disappear and then it cuts to Paris and they all fly towards him as they jump timelines. (didn't notice them all disappearing on first viewing) Shame he never met Ellie. Movie for people that like Triangle, Coherence and Dark. 9/10
bro you gotta watch Dark series, its much much bigger of a time travel story than this movie. hope you make a review of that too. Btw great review with this movie, grate way of explaining the story in a more engaging way
Okey but… why celeste has hand shaking in the last seconds of the film??????!!!!! Because only who are not in his line time has that shaking. I’ve been thinking about this for days
Perfect explanation. The only thing I don't like is Paris and Celeste get into a fight because he's missing his mother and why would he feel she wouldn't want to see him when he takes his father to some party and Celeste is standing there greeting people.. why he won't just get out and talk to her
5:00 coming back to this when the twist is revealed but i’m firmly convinced that the necklace he just found is / was his moms which is either the older sister or the one who went missing. Theory there’s two separate timelines and the weird portal has something to do with it
too pity, no promoting for this film. I watched it by no clue and really enjoy as much as I wanna give it 8/10. the production is very good , plot is great , music is superb and casts so amazing. The director is genius story teller. Thanx so much for making such good film for me
I'm picturing you looking like Charlie from Always Sunny trying to explain the family tree. Even though the ending was probably the best arrangement possible, everything in me wanted Ellie to meet her dad. I think they could have made it work! The only thing that I was confused about is if Ellie and Paris were in the same timeline in the beginning of the movie? Or at anytime at all?
I literally meant to go back and edit that meme in but I think I used it in my last video too lol Ellie and Paris were only ever in the same timeline at the very end. He went missing before even finding out Celeste was pregnant I believe.
I guessed it was a split timeline just because the two main characters werent ever interacting. I also saw him drink a mtn dew with an older logo so that helped my theory.
They showed the 2 broken bridges much earlier - 9ne saw the wolves, and one was taking his girlfriend to the portal. Thats when it all clicked for me. The 2 timelines, the fact that the young guy was the teens father...not the grandmother thing yet...
The shape of the necklace is also a continous loop (the star sign pisces?) that looks a little like snakes or something eating eachother's tails, symbolizing the paradox in itself, don't you think?
The name Found Heard I thought referred to being able to distinguish portals from the sound that can be heard from them, allowing you to find the timeline that you’re looking for
it was named after a herd of bison had dissapeared, then many years later were seen appearing from nothing, that was so large it filled the area.. so they named it after them
It was the 2 bridges for me. I figured out the whole thing pretty early on, but that didn't make it a bad movie. In fact, it was the best movie I've watched he'd in a while. This is what movies are supposed to be in my opinion. Really really good
@@leapace9480 I think the necklace only exists between 1952 and 2022. Its existence is not only a singular loop, but a double loop: a short loop within a larger/longer loop. When Anna ports back to 1952, that's when the necklace begins to exist chronologically. It never exists before then. When she ports away from 2022, that's when the necklace ceases to exist from that point forward. The closed causality loop raises the question of "what/who created the necklace?" It has no origin. It's just exists, but only between those two points in time. What really confuses the issue is that there's a period of time when the necklace's existence has looped back on itself so there are actually two instances of it existing at the same time: from 2003 (when Paris finds it tangled up in the prop) until 2005 (when Ellie "steals" it from Celeste's truck.) When Ellie loses the one she took from Celeste in 2005 (when it snagged on a branch and she had to abandon it at the portal region), that creates/ends the 2nd internal loop. I interpret that scene as her passing out of 2005, losing the necklace either to the portal itself or in 2003 before crossing another threshold back to 2022. The filmmakers do make a point of showing Ellie passing through multiple boundaries, so at some point the necklace she got in 2005 is lost to 2003 and she returns to 2022 without it. Note: I just assume that Ellie loses the necklace passing through 2003, but I suppose she could have dropped it at any point prior to 2003 when the portal was open. And it just lay there in the water until getting snagged by the boat propeller in 2003. But there are other cinematic suggestions that Ellie and Paris where close in time going through the portal, so I just chose to assume she loses it to 2003 and not one of the other, earlier, open portal dry periods. (Paris finding it at the same time as the yellow rope is the main clue for me.) After Ellie leaves the 2005 period, Celeste is left with just one of the necklaces that Paris showed her before he disappeared in 2003. She hangs onto that one until Anna finds it in 2022. And, of course, Anna takes it back to 1952. (Anna calling Celeste "Mimi" confused me at first, but unless I missed something big, that was just her pet name for Cee/Celeste and not some other grandmother/nana character not introduced.) Then again...I could be wrong.
Has anyone else noticed during the scene when Ellie throws the bowl and starts crying, the newscast playing in the background is talking about the dam and how it was gov't funded by something called the TVA? As in Marvel's Time Variance Authority. Being that this film deals with time, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.
But what if he went back and took Anna back to her original timeline? would that have saved anyone? yes paris wouldn’t have been born at a certain point, and neither would ellie, but anna would have still happened, she would have grown up, maybe found someone else and Paris would have come at some point and ellie as well. it’s sad to say but it seems like sacrifice is the only way to “win” on either side of this, but it goes back to that line- “they didn’t mean to leave us”
2 necklaces because they were the same necklace from 2 different times. Just like Ellie went back in time and saw herself arriving to the house on her boat. 2 Ellies existed because they were both her from 2 different times.
I have to watch the movie, is the necklace he gives to Celeste the one he found or the one he had from his mother? It being his mother's necklace makes more sense, as then Celeste could give it to her step daughter, thus completing the loop

also, the necklace, could've been more than one because the name of the company is gemini something. in my family business, named after sunflowers, we have identical bracelets, for all the members, with sunflowers pendents, so idk, could be that... or just a time travel paradox the writers didn't think through.
Maybe that's why Celeste and Ellie's relationship is so strained, Celeste might have always thought that she reminds her of the woman that Paris left her for, that's what I was thinking anyway. Great movie though!
Agreed with Edward. It might be part of the reason why Ellie and her mother Celeste couldnt get along because how similar Ellie looked like the girl she thought Paris left her for. But as a normal human being she couldn't imagine it was the same person, doing time travelling, as the incident happened in 2003 and her daughter Ellie looked like that b!tch only in 2022, 19 years apart. The dots do not connect under normal logical thinking.
@@gigihanmandarin felt the same way as the OP about her never questioning the identical appearance and a formal explanation of "why not" would have helped, but I also came to the same conclusion about their strained relationship and there was no logical way for her to think it was the same person she met in the past, and that her child (relatively 2 yr old? at the time) ended up being the same woman she encountered in the parking lot....so she maybe took the resemblance as a cruel twist of fate with no reason to make things even worse by bringing it up to Ellie or anyone else who would think she is crazy and may need to be put in rehab for drinking.
Yes I thought the same. She recognized Paris when he stole her car. I would think Celeste would have known…shit you look just like the lady in the parking lot.
Yes I thought the same. She recognized Paris when he stole her car. I would think Celeste would have known…shit you look just like the lady in the parking lot. Or maybe tensions were so high she forgot???
I doubt that but maybe?
love love love this channel and the podcast! keep up the great work 💗 oh also please consider reviewing I saw the tv glow! 💗💗💗
Anyone who liked this movie would also probably like Triangle from 2009
At 20:40 ish - it's like when watching a prequel when you know characters are dead from the 1st film (or the opposite when you know they're alive...you kind of either lose the suspense or root for them getting clobbered sometimes, just for a change lol)
Great recap and really good explanation. I love this genre writing and storyline.
So why didn’t older Celeste recognize her daughter as the one who stole her necklace in the parking lot? She recognized Paris when he hijacked her car. Ellie looked exactly the same and clothes. Her mom should have realized it was her.
It’s likely why the mother always had tension with the daughter; I imagine subconsciously the familiarity of her face as the daughter grew older and started to resemble the Other Woman would’ve been a big trigger.
Thankfully, I didn't have the plot ruined for me by figuring it out a head of time. My dumb ass was still trying to understand during the last 15 minutes.🤣
So im taking a guess here but I'm going to guess that there's two timeliness going on one ahead of another which is why when he found the necklace and took it home the big reveal was that he already had that necklace in the bag and the portal with the howling just made me think this even more but I'm not even halfway through the recap part of the video yet so guess I'm gon find out.
Thought of the seizures like the glitching from spider verse , you only experience them when you’re in the wrong time
great video!
Absolutely loved this movie and great detailed explanation too. Great job, well done.
Watched this without knowing what it was about, before bed! Big mistake cos I was awake all night thinking about it. Lol
Even better the second viewing cos you notice everything. In one scene Ellie sees the moths flying away from her and they all disappear and then it cuts to Paris and they all fly towards him as they jump timelines. (didn't notice them all disappearing on first viewing) Shame he never met Ellie.
Movie for people that like Triangle, Coherence and Dark. 9/10
I was surprised at how good this was. I definitely see the Dark influence.
I love this movie ❤
bro you gotta watch Dark series, its much much bigger of a time travel story than this movie. hope you make a review of that too. Btw great review with this movie, grate way of explaining the story in a more engaging way
I love DARK, especially that first season was just, wow.
@@MadMorphMovieClubseasons 2 & 3 >> 1. Great first season though
@@MadMorphMovieClubthat show gave me headache. So confusing
I literally just finished watching this movie and I came here to get a little clarification before I watch it again 😂😂😂😂😂😂 GREAT MOVIE
You did an amazing job explaining this 👏
Following because of it!
Great job on this breakdown. I’ve subscribed!
I haven’t finished the video but it reminds me a looooot of Triangle so far!
Okey but… why celeste has hand shaking in the last seconds of the film??????!!!!! Because only who are not in his line time has that shaking. I’ve been thinking about this for days
From someone who’s born by Caddo lake this was dope
Great explanation! If you like films and tv shows like this, I recommend Donnie Darko and the Netflix series Dark
The necklace is cool. It's like the question about how the protagonists meet in the Time Traveler's Wife, or Ethan Hawke's lineage in Predestination.
Perfect explanation. The only thing I don't like is Paris and Celeste get into a fight because he's missing his mother and why would he feel she wouldn't want to see him when he takes his father to some party and Celeste is standing there greeting people.. why he won't just get out and talk to her
Well explained dude 🤗
I don’t get people calling this ‘mind bending’ they gave away the twist fairly early on when Paris found the necklace..
5:00 coming back to this when the twist is revealed but i’m firmly convinced that the necklace he just found is / was his moms which is either the older sister or the one who went missing. Theory there’s two separate timelines and the weird portal has something to do with it
okay wow, that was a twist, their all related lol
If Paris went missing in 2003, then by 2022 he should have been missing for nineteen years, not seven. 🤔 What am I missing? lol
too pity, no promoting for this film. I watched it by no clue and really enjoy as much as I wanna give it 8/10. the production is very good , plot is great , music is superb and casts so amazing. The director is genius story teller. Thanx so much for making such good film for me
Whattaya wanna bet this movie is based on the sentence We'll Always Have Paris
I'm picturing you looking like Charlie from Always Sunny trying to explain the family tree.
Even though the ending was probably the best arrangement possible, everything in me wanted Ellie to meet her dad. I think they could have made it work!
The only thing that I was confused about is if Ellie and Paris were in the same timeline in the beginning of the movie? Or at anytime at all?
I literally meant to go back and edit that meme in but I think I used it in my last video too lol
Ellie and Paris were only ever in the same timeline at the very end. He went missing before even finding out Celeste was pregnant I believe.
I guessed it was a split timeline just because the two main characters werent ever interacting. I also saw him drink a mtn dew with an older logo so that helped my theory.
Wow. Yet another piece of Morph brilliance 👍❤
I believe the thing with the necklaces is referred to as a bootstrap paradox
I thoroughly enjoyed it!😊
I watched it and it was great also confusing. That's why I came here
I felt like the seizures happened if you weren’t in your OG time
Great explanation but I still have a lot of missing gaps unexplained and I believe they'll remain a mystery..
They showed the 2 broken bridges much earlier - 9ne saw the wolves, and one was taking his girlfriend to the portal. Thats when it all clicked for me. The 2 timelines, the fact that the young guy was the teens father...not the grandmother thing yet...
The shape of the necklace is also a continous loop (the star sign pisces?) that looks a little like snakes or something eating eachother's tails, symbolizing the paradox in itself, don't you think?
The name Found Heard I thought referred to being able to distinguish portals from the sound that can be heard from them, allowing you to find the timeline that you’re looking for
27:10~ Maybe it's just me, but the lake and the necklace also look very similar to one another.
A great movie with a great plot as well “ What a twist!”
Missing 411: The Movie
Alabama type shi right here, grandma sister type shi
I IMMEDIATELY saw that Celeste was the same actress. Idk how no one else could
@@pnut3844able this comment was definitely enough to get your point across homie.
But she isn’t? Lauren Ambrose plays the older Celeste while Diana Hopper plays Cee, the younger version.
uh…
I've walked through the woods almost wishing at times to stumble across a portal. No idea why🤷
I was wondering what the cut gator had to do with anything. Thanks for connecting that for me
it was named after a herd of bison had dissapeared, then many years later were seen appearing from nothing, that was so large it filled the area.. so they named it after them
Thank You from Sweden. 😊
It was the 2 bridges for me. I figured out the whole thing pretty early on, but that didn't make it a bad movie. In fact, it was the best movie I've watched he'd in a while. This is what movies are supposed to be in my opinion. Really really good
But I don't know how she got the necklace back to give to the small girl after it had been stolen from the truck. That seems like a hole
@@leapace9480
I think the necklace only exists between 1952 and 2022. Its existence is not only a singular loop, but a double loop: a short loop within a larger/longer loop.
When Anna ports back to 1952, that's when the necklace begins to exist chronologically. It never exists before then. When she ports away from 2022, that's when the necklace ceases to exist from that point forward. The closed causality loop raises the question of "what/who created the necklace?" It has no origin. It's just exists, but only between those two points in time.
What really confuses the issue is that there's a period of time when the necklace's existence has looped back on itself so there are actually two instances of it existing at the same time: from 2003 (when Paris finds it tangled up in the prop) until 2005 (when Ellie "steals" it from Celeste's truck.) When Ellie loses the one she took from Celeste in 2005 (when it snagged on a branch and she had to abandon it at the portal region), that creates/ends the 2nd internal loop. I interpret that scene as her passing out of 2005, losing the necklace either to the portal itself or in 2003 before crossing another threshold back to 2022. The filmmakers do make a point of showing Ellie passing through multiple boundaries, so at some point the necklace she got in 2005 is lost to 2003 and she returns to 2022 without it.
Note: I just assume that Ellie loses the necklace passing through 2003, but I suppose she could have dropped it at any point prior to 2003 when the portal was open. And it just lay there in the water until getting snagged by the boat propeller in 2003. But there are other cinematic suggestions that Ellie and Paris where close in time going through the portal, so I just chose to assume she loses it to 2003 and not one of the other, earlier, open portal dry periods. (Paris finding it at the same time as the yellow rope is the main clue for me.)
After Ellie leaves the 2005 period, Celeste is left with just one of the necklaces that Paris showed her before he disappeared in 2003. She hangs onto that one until Anna finds it in 2022. And, of course, Anna takes it back to 1952.
(Anna calling Celeste "Mimi" confused me at first, but unless I missed something big, that was just her pet name for Cee/Celeste and not some other grandmother/nana character not introduced.)
Then again...I could be wrong.
Has anyone else noticed during the scene when Ellie throws the bowl and starts crying, the newscast playing in the background is talking about the dam and how it was gov't funded by something called the TVA? As in Marvel's Time Variance Authority. Being that this film deals with time, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.
What a roller coaster...
The family tree breakdown made me even more confused 💀
But what if he went back and took Anna back to her original timeline? would that have saved anyone? yes paris wouldn’t have been born at a certain point, and neither would ellie, but anna would have still happened, she would have grown up, maybe found someone else and Paris would have come at some point and ellie as well. it’s sad to say but it seems like sacrifice is the only way to “win” on either side of this, but it goes back to that line- “they didn’t mean to leave us”
Time Travels got my brain on fire!! 🤯
Always down to watch a fun “mind bending” time travel movie
2 necklaces because they were the same necklace from 2 different times. Just like Ellie went back in time and saw herself arriving to the house on her boat. 2 Ellies existed because they were both her from 2 different times.
I have to watch the movie, is the necklace he gives to Celeste the one he found or the one he had from his mother? It being his mother's necklace makes more sense, as then Celeste could give it to her step daughter, thus completing the loop
The Step Father is the Great grandfather 🥺🥺🥺🥺
This is the old Bootstrap Paradox movie, these are great movies.
this reminds me of the series Dark! time travel and totally mind bending. highly recommend it :D
This movie blew my mind! It would be awesome as a tv series. Great video 👍
I’m glad it’s not a TV series! Because they would extend the crap outta it for no reason.
There’s a similar tv show like this and it’s called Dark
@@huntrrams Yes. I tried watching it, but it was initially too long and confusing. Also, it's a native German-language series, but it's good!
@@huntrrams cool -- I'll check it out
The other major characters got resolutions but didn't need to die. Paris could have just stayed in the "future."
This could have easily been the next Dark show instead of a movie
