Primer

Primer was a confusing movie, how there was no lead in to the plot, it was like we started in the middle of it. the characters were overlapping each other's conversations and there was a lot of suspense, because a lot times we were waiting for something bad to happen with the machine, like a malfunction while it was running or some sort. the problem, however, arose within the characters, the way they thought they could control time and the manner in which events occurs to their liking. the first supernatural event that impressed me was when the blond one was in the storage room, walked to one end of the machine and found nothing there, and then a minute later the second guy was in the same spot, and thats when it clicked for me that the movie was about time travel, which would explain the clock thing earlier in the movie. it was very supernatural towards the end when there was more than one of the characters at once, their present and future selves in the same scene. it was hard to know which one was which, because they were the exact same person but also not the exact same person, because one was technically older. this business with time travel, an attempt to deviate from reality has its consequences, like there will always be one person who abuses that power. as with the stories we have read earlier in the course, trying to associate one's self into a selfish matter of some supernatural superiority proves to be consequential to their being. in hill house, eleanor becomes too attached to playing a role in the house that her life ends when her interaction with the house ends. in the rats in the walls, delapore becomes so immersed into unearthing the buried secrets of his family history that it consumes him. in the yellow wallpaper, the woman becomes attached to what she thinks she sees in the patterns of the wallpaper that her sanity is degraded the more she tries to sympathize with it.
