As such I shall now delve into the philosophical flaws in Secret
Err warning spoilers ahead for people who have not watched the movie.
1) The writings on the table
Why did the writings mysteriously suddenly appear on the table when according to the recount by Jay's father, Rain was died and beside her was the words she had already scrawled TWENTY YEARS AGO. So by rights, the table should all along have those words written on it. Impossible to have the words appearing like that. Besides, don't they ever change tables. Same table for 20 years at the exact same spot in the same class even though someone DIED at that table.
2) The piano in the old building
So apparently the piano and this song allows you to time travel. Cool. Then we also realise that it travels either 20 years ahead of time or 20 years back. EXACTLY 20. Not an hour more or less. We can derive this from the fact that there are many examples of Rain using the piano in the show. Use it on graduation day, she appears 20 years into the future also on graduation day. Still looks like the same time of day if you ask me. And of course like I said earlier, thats only one example. So why is it that Jay is so special and he goes back 20 years and a few hours extra? If he did not, then when he used the piano he should have appeared at graduation day night 20 years ago and Rain already dead.
3) Predestination Paradox
"A predestination paradox, also called either a causal loop, or a causality loop and (less frequently) either a closed loop or closed time loop, is a paradox of time travel that is often used as a convention in science fiction. It exists when a time traveller is caught in a loop of events that "predestines" him or her to travel back in time. This paradox is in some ways the opposite of the grandfather paradox, the famous example of the traveller killing his own grandfather before his parent is conceived, thereby precluding his own travel to the past by cancelling his own existence.
Because of the possibility of influencing the past while time travelling, one way of explaining why history does not change is by saying that whatever has happened was meant to happen. A time traveller attempting to alter the past in this model, intentionally or not, would only be fulfilling his role in creating history as we know it, not changing it."
- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaSo therefore, when Jay goes back in time and prevents Rain from dying, Rain lives and 20 years later, there is no need for Jay to go back to save Rain and thus Rain would die and thus Jay would have to go back to save her and thus she will live and thus he would not need to... yea.
Ahha see all the flaws present in Secret? Other minor ones include how when she listens to the radio there is probably a floating headset. And if no one can see her then they step into the exact same spot that she was standing on then what will happen?
Ok enough of this Secret is not supposed to be a sci-fi in the first place. Oh well. Bye. *Poof*
