Butterfly Effect DVD

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/rKwU0)
I just watched this movie for the second time... It's a must see.  The concept of the butterfly effect is something as simple as how a butterfly flaps it's wings in this place can affect a tsunami on the other side of the world. It's the idea of how a simple action by something can alter the path of how something else happens in life to the same person or someone else and it just goes from there. I really like the concept, it reminds me a little bit of my slight edge post I did before.  There are 3 of these movies now in the series, I thought #1 was by far the best, the 2nd one is pretty good though, the 3rd one got a little much, but different. They all have the theme in common that they try to go back in time through their mind to change things and the outcome.  The important lesson I would take from these movies, is that the past is the past, don't try to hold onto resentment , anger, jealously or any other negative emotions, you can't go back and change it, what you can do is just do it right the first time, that way you will eventually find your actions affecting one after another compounded in time ultimately getting you to where you want to be some day, and then when you do look back in your mind like in the movie, you will be glad you took those actions in that way, as you are the total sum of everything you do, and your thoughts (Earl Nightgale) best explains this.  I would recommend this movie even though it shows how negative actions mostly effect your life, this is probably the most important point, but it would be nice if any of the movies showed more how positive actions can affect your life in the same way over time.  What people need to understand is it's not linear, it's compounding, so something as simple as eating wrong 1500 days in a row, or eating right 1500 days in a row can not easily be erased with a quantam leap, or a wave of a magic wand, little actions make all the difference, stop thinking instant gratification, and lottery, and start thinking of the tiny positive actions to move yourself forward.
