The Butterfly Effect 蝴蝶效應
The movie starts with a medical patient, Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher), breaking into a doctor's office at night. The noise has alerted some guards, and he can hear them looking for him. He blocks the door with a couch, hurriedly grabs a pencil and paper and starts writing "If someone reads this, it means that I was unsuccessful and am already dead...". The guards are now outside the office, their flashlights shining in as the scene fades out。
The movie then flashes back to 13 years earlier. We meet the young 8 year old Evan, who is being raised alone by his mother, a nurse. When he is dropped off at school, Evan's teacher insists on speaking with his mother on an urgent matter. Apparently, as part of a drawing assignment, Evan drew a very disturbing picture of himself holding a knife over a couple of dead bodies.。。
