Brighteststar's Weekend Movie recommendation 5 college boys, Takuma, Masaru, Shunsuke, Atsushi and Daigo all belong to the sci-fi club, but they are not interested in science at all. They usually just hang around, play baseball or cards, or take a bath at the public bath. One day, they accidentally spill Coke on the remote controller of the air-conditioner. In the sweaty bath-like clubroom, suddenly, a time machine appears. Eventually, they decide to go back to "yesterday" to bring the remote controller. The mission ought to be quite easy; however, gradually they come to be worried. "What if we change the past? Aren't we going to disappear like in movies?" (Source: Ayumi on IMDb) Edit Translation

This was truly a light and uncomplicated take regarding the time travel theme. In spite of its absurdist comedy performed by its stupidly quirky characters, it turned out to be more clever. Without it being too straightforwardly philosophical, the subtlety of its dialogue suggested otherwise.
"Isn't it more logical to think everything's decided from the start?"
"Can one change their name?"
There's the philosophical, theological, and scientific musing going between these two conclusions from two different characters: Predestination vs. Free Will. Personally, I think that both concepts are two sides of the same coin. Both are true, co-existing, and complementary of each other. Just as how we are both made of objective truths and subjective ideas. So, keep laughing at the absurdity of it all and mourning the mundane. As time is an unstoppable force that always comes and goes, yet, there is summer that can also be an enforceable idea and a state of mind.
