Although inherently different in some respects, the parallel I'm drawing between the popular and beloved time travel phenomenon with this older and likewise beloved movie are the themes of self-identity, of its degradation following distressing circumstances, of trauma and its ability to blur our vision of reality, distorting the very senses that leave us on the brink of sanity, and of the prevalent idea that upon losing one's sense of self, upon discovering that "other" voice in the back of your heart, you begin to fall into what seems like a bottomless pit, leaving you to question "is this the real me?"
