Escept that one man's memory wouldn't have all that detail.

I'm re watching this and realizing this fact although I still really like the film.

Have you seen Devs?
It's a mini-series, which touches on a similar idea, but they flesh the philosophical/theoretical part more and take a different angle on determinism... It's worth checking out, although it doesn't have the charm of this movie, very different mood.

Yes, I've seen all of Devs. From what I understood, they developed a computer that could somehow "play back" historical events as if playing back an audio/video recording - which also doesn't make sense if nothing was ever extant to record said events in the first place. I suppose if one could tap into the space/time continuum and detect vibrations in a specific area at a certain date and time, maybe activity there could be replicated.

The way I understood the idea, was that they'd be able to calculate what would have been necessary in the past, for things to be how they are in the present... And with this calculation, they would be able to forecast into the future, but the farther they get, the fuzzier it is.
In Source Code, it seems like a similar simulation that they're running based on his last memories... So they're running multiple scenarios based on these memories to figure out what actually happened...
It's interesting how different and similar this film and that show are. I think Source Code has a more lasting effect on viewers...

But they were not predicting the future, they were viewing events that happened in the distant past.

I think in Devs they were trying to do both... In Source Code they were only concerned with the few minutes before the main guy's death.

I was talking about Devs. Source Code seems a lot more straightforward to me (until the ending, haha).

Yes, devs is more complicated because they use the "multiverse" hypothesis. It gets messy... haha

One would have to assume multiverse was also involved with Source Code.

True, but I guess because it's a short period of time (minutes), it doesn't get a messy

I'm referring to the ending, which was a different reality based on Stevens actions.

Underrated movie. Your comments make me want to watch it again.
