This movie about post traumatic stress?


Is this movie about post traumatic stress. It certainly seems like it.

A very good observation. I thought it was about purgatory - but yeah, if they are all in the real world, then definitely it is analagous to PTSD.

Its about neither.

I took from it a greater message on morality. I think any one of us would, and perhaps do, struggle with the question that if we could get away with anything, would we do it? Is there even any more good and bad if the events are erased or nobody catches us?

I thought the movie spoke a little to the fact that it does actually matter. If you can do one slightly bad thing, what is to stop you from doing another more terrible thing? From the movie, it seems that what matters is whatever you make matter. Kyle and Sonia focused on the resolution of their problems because they needed that to matter for them. Mike descended deeper and deeper into insanity and was still stuck in a time loop because he made the wrong thing matter. Whatever blip in the space-time continuum that got them won't seem to stop until he gets it right.

Just my thoughts.
