Sometimes the creators of such "temporary" films intentionally avoid special paradoxes. The traditional plot of the story for such films is the meeting of the heroes with himself (his parents, for example, “Back to the Future”) - this is a rather emotionally loaded move. A few years ago, the viewer had the opportunity to see this for himself by reviewing Ryan Johnson’s The Time Loop.
