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 the 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
@@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.
@@CoboProdzYou must be slow the clues were all throughout the movie. If you didn’t figure time travel was involved by the time you saw the portals and they mentioned animals being extinct then you’ve gotta work on your critical thinking skills
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.

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.
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.
This movie floored me. One of my favorite movies, akin to The Prestige by Nolan, in a way. A physical, practical explanation for the portal is the concept of naked singularities. A black hole can have its “center/core” exist away from the rest of the black hole, which distorts space time and can be a portal to other times and places.
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.

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'm glad I found your channel, I'm always looking for movies explained after watching a great film like this, I like how you go into detail into everything. I just got a bit confused at the moment when Anna was found twice, but watching it back I realized it was a previous similar occasion when Ellie left after breaking the plates where Anna also followed her and accidentally entering the portal, this timeline happened before the movie started so it kind of threw me off.
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.
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.
Had Anna been slightly older and had a little more knowledge of the world she could’ve been a millionaire 😭😂 I would’ve been investing stock in apple day 1 😂
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.
Oh my god, there is so much i did not get when i watched this the first time in cinema. I feel so dumb, that i only understood much of the movie after watching this video.
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
I think he would’ve been in prison if he had not died. He had Anna’s boat and blood on him. There is no way he would be able to explain that. I liked the ending.
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 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!
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?
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.🤣
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.
The necklace itself is on a continuous time loop, but so is its design and it literally shows that exactly. -- If you look at it, the two circles represents the two necklaces and each circle follows a continuously looped path/line, where one always moves forward (Paris finding it) and the other moves back (Ellie leaving it) and then they swap places where the one that went forward now ends up going back and the one that went back now is the one moving forward. Each one only exist, because the other does. -- Like how for us, our past and future selves are different, yet also the same person. A future is only a future if there was a past, and the past can only become a past if there is a future. Each second exists as both a new one into the future and simultaneously an old one now in the past. -- The present is like the 'time space gab', that serves as an overlapping transition of past and future swapping places. Meaning that 'the present' doesn't actually exist, because it's impossible to be it's own separate thing.
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
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.
Her step sister is also her grandmother. His mum was also his girlfriends other daughter. And they were both father and daughter wow what a head f**k lol
The two necklaces come from the two characters crossing time lines. I watched it a second time tracking the necklaces and it made sense but I'm not sure I could explain it now as it's been several months. 8 year old Anna had the necklace when she went back to the 50s so that's the one she gave to Paris which ellie took from the truck in 2005 (which is after Paris gave it to Celeste in 2003). Ellie dropped the necklace in the portal traveling through time after taking it from the truck. and that is the necklace Paris found when he was in the river which was before he gave it to Celeste so he still had his to compare it to. Personally I loved this movie!
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)
Paradoxes are destined to become so fulfilling prophecies if the artifact or traveler is not dealt with, And in this case it was an artifact and traveler in the necklace and Anna going back to the portal alone that started the loop. Which would make would her existence a paradox unless she's self-fulfilled
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
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...
No, Anna is Celeste's stepdaughter and Ellie's stepsister, which would make her Daniel's daughter. Paris conceived Ellie with Celeste, who was his girlfriend.
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?
It's the Cancer Zodiac symbol, and Anna mentions to Ellie that it reflects some aspects of a person's characteristics such as liking to cook and being protective of others
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. The closed loop and slow panning out to explain events also reminds me of Quantum Break. An interesting angle for a sequel could be record low water levels due to climate change.
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.
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

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.
FAR more than 2 timelines
@@pnut3844able They're talking about both protagonists' present timelines.
From someone who’s born by Caddo lake this was dope
A great movie with a great plot as well “ What a twist!”
This movie had me tripping trying to put the pieces together but this movie was soooo good just wow ❤
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.
lots of inspiration from the show "Dark" but elegantly closed, I'm so sad for the ending tho 😭
What a thoughtful account of this film. Thank you so much. You've explained it all beautifully. You have a wonderful voice.
Excellent explanation and editing of this video. Thank you!
Had Anna been slightly older and had a little more knowledge of the world she could’ve been a millionaire 😭😂 I would’ve been investing stock in apple day 1 😂
27:10~ Maybe it's just me, but the lake and the necklace also look very similar to one another.
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.
OMG Thank you...just watched the movie and came to the internet in hopes of an explanation because I was SOOOO confused..glad I found you.
Oh my god, there is so much i did not get when i watched this the first time in cinema. I feel so dumb, that i only understood much of the movie after watching this video.
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
I believe the thing with the necklaces is referred to as a bootstrap paradox
I think he would’ve been in prison if he had not died. He had Anna’s boat and blood on him. There is no way he would be able to explain that. I liked the ending.
Anyone who liked this movie would also probably like Triangle from 2009
Always down to watch a fun “mind bending” time travel movie
The family tree breakdown made me even more confused 💀
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.
What a roller coaster...
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!
Well, series vs movie.
More like the USA vs. Germany
Im from louisiana, and caddo parish is north of where im from and i always enjoy when good movies come from where im from
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?
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.🤣
Great movie, one of the better ive seen of late. But i was able to predict what was going to happen when Anna waa dropped off in 1952.
They were so close to making a perfect movie that lasted a lifetime! One of those that is never forgotten
Awesome breakdown brother! Subbed can’t wait to see more like this
Just came off watching it...that was beyond mind bending... That was actually historic!!
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.
Reminds me of Dark on Netflix. 3 seasons, full story. Excellent story.
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.
It would’ve been amazing if Ellie and Paris crossed paths at least once 😢
Beautiful voice, and enthusiastically perceptive analysis! Subbed!
6 min in and went and rented. I’ll be back to fin your video.. I love the video tones!
understanding then family tree gave me a goddamn headache 😅
thank you for explaining it
This actually sounds pretty good
also thank you so much for the family tree at the end haha
The necklace itself is on a continuous time loop, but so is its design and it literally shows that exactly.
-- If you look at it, the two circles represents the two necklaces and each circle follows a continuously looped path/line, where one always moves forward (Paris finding it) and the other moves back (Ellie leaving it) and then they swap places where the one that went forward now ends up going back and the one that went back now is the one moving forward. Each one only exist, because the other does.
-- Like how for us, our past and future selves are different, yet also the same person. A future is only a future if there was a past, and the past can only become a past if there is a future. Each second exists as both a new one into the future and simultaneously an old one now in the past.
-- The present is like the 'time space gab', that serves as an overlapping transition of past and future swapping places. Meaning that 'the present' doesn't actually exist, because it's impossible to be it's own separate thing.
“Primer” fans here? Love original and unique time traveling movies.
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
Excellent Review. I took notes while watching. The use of Lang as the last name helped me piece things together.
Time Travels got my brain on fire!! 🤯
if my step sis goes missing i won't bother looking, she could be my grandmother.
This is definitely like dark 😂😂😂 one of my favorite Netflix shows
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.
Her step sister is also her grandmother. His mum was also his girlfriends other daughter. And they were both father and daughter wow what a head f**k lol
The two necklaces come from the two characters crossing time lines. I watched it a second time tracking the necklaces and it made sense but I'm not sure I could explain it now as it's been several months. 8 year old Anna had the necklace when she went back to the 50s so that's the one she gave to Paris which ellie took from the truck in 2005 (which is after Paris gave it to Celeste in 2003). Ellie dropped the necklace in the portal traveling through time after taking it from the truck. and that is the necklace Paris found when he was in the river which was before he gave it to Celeste so he still had his to compare it to. Personally I loved this movie!
The Necklace paradox reminds me of the Grandfather paradox put on a mobius strip. Both of the events can happen simultaneously.
Great explanation! If you like films and tv shows like this, I recommend Donnie Darko and the Netflix series Dark
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)
Paradoxes are destined to become so fulfilling prophecies if the artifact or traveler is not dealt with, And in this case it was an artifact and traveler in the necklace and Anna going back to the portal alone that started the loop.
Which would make would her existence a paradox unless she's self-fulfilled
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
It's supposed to be the same necklace as Anna's. but a duplicate one that is stuck in its own stable time loop from 2003-2005.
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...
I thought Anna was Celeste’s daughter, Ellie’s half sister. Meaning that Paris conceived Ellie with his grandmother.
No, Anna is Celeste's stepdaughter and Ellie's stepsister, which would make her Daniel's daughter. Paris conceived Ellie with Celeste, who was his girlfriend.
Lake Caddo was a better time traveling story than Dark.
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…
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?
It's the Cancer Zodiac symbol, and Anna mentions to Ellie that it reflects some aspects of a person's characteristics such as liking to cook and being protective of others
Great explanation but I still have a lot of missing gaps unexplained and I believe they'll remain a mystery..
this reminds me of the series Dark! time travel and totally mind bending. highly recommend it :D
Thank You from Sweden. 😊
Thought of the seizures like the glitching from spider verse , you only experience them when you’re in the wrong time
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.
The closed loop and slow panning out to explain events also reminds me of Quantum Break.
An interesting angle for a sequel could be record low water levels due to climate change.
thank you
This could have easily been the next Dark show instead of a movie
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.
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
I thoroughly enjoyed it!😊
