Primer

Primer was a confusing movie to follow, but I enjoyed watching it. At first, I wasn’t sure what they were building and was very lost. Once the movie started picking up momentum and the concept of time travel was introduced, I became more interested. What they did with the “time-machine” seems to be similar to what people in other movies do; they try avoiding their other self, stop certain events from happening, and make themselves rich. The ending was very strange because one of the characters left to another country, but we’re unsure if his other double stayed behind or what happened to him at all. Overall, the movie was confusing, but as we were told in class, the director intended for that to happen. I think the movie is intended to be watched more than once so that the viewer can notice more details that make the movie easier to understand.
