The Terminator (1984)

A Mexican boy takes a Polaroid of Linda Hamilton who is pregnant with her son, John Connor, who will save the world. So let me get this straight: Linda's adult son of the future has the photo that was taken when Linda was pregnant with him and his father was dead at the time of the photo. Yet, in the future, when John dies, fellow soldier Kyle takes the photo with him when he travels back in time to protect Linda from the Terminator so that John Connor can be born and save the world. Then we discover that young Kyle is John Connor's father. After all these years, I still don't get it.
