"The Existential Crisis of a Time Traveler: A Cinematic Exploration of Free Will vs. Predestination"
Script
Time travel, a staple of science fiction, raises profound questions about the human experience, particularly when it comes to the debate between free will and predestination. Imagine a time traveler who goes back in time and alters the course of events, only to realize that their actions were always part of the timeline, predetermined from the beginning. This paradox lies at the heart of the philosophical conundrum, echoing the sentiments of ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, who wrote, "What is possible is not identical with what is actual." The Novikov Self-Consistency Principle suggests that any events occurring through time travel have already occurred and are therefore predetermined.
