I watched this movie with Sandy and Lorraigne. "Life doesn't work this way. We are an observer of our passage, and so are others."- i felt after watching the movie... The only constant in life is change and it happens whether driven by fate or chance. One delicious scenario provides an explicit example as a car accident results from a series of small, seemingly unrelated interim incidents. Remove any one and that accident would not have happened. And, take away the accident and the rest of the movie would have moved on a different path toward a alternate ending. Life is like that. We never know whether any given action will vanish like a stone tossed into a pond or whether the ripples of that toss will build into a tsunami... What Button shows is that Ben is ultimately not the hero of his own life or his own movie. He gets inside our head, that's for sure, but, frustratingly, we never get inside his. Really nice. Great movie.
