I get so tired of movies where people know what happens (deja vu, time loop etc) and know that certain things will happen due to their actions and still do the same thing expecting to stop the events.

How does that make sense at all? If your actions cause a chain reaction, shouldn't you stop?

It's so annoying when they persist despite knowing what will happen instead of trying a different course of action ... Or not doing anything at all?

@f Which movies are you thinking of?

@timrichards This particular post was inspired by a Malayalam movie named “A Ranjith Cinema”.

@f I get your point. But from what I observe this could be one the most reality checked pattern in real life. Most people do not learn and repeat same dumb patterns from their past or our common history.

@sgamel I totally agree that people don’t learn from history and repeat the same patterns — this is one thing that annoys me so much about humanity …

But at least in that case, you can argue that they don’t even see the pattern because they are so blind.

But in the case of the time loops, they know exactly what happens and what their actions were to cause a situation to occur. So it’s not quite the same as not learning from general history, at least in my opinion 🙂
