Dont read below if you've yet to see
Time Crimes spoilers ahead.
[spoiler]Dead Alive it shows you in the film how it works. There is a diagram of a time line that doubles back on itself. This film takes the idea that there is a single time line that cannot be changed (not mutiple timelines that are altered when you go back and change something ie
Back to the Future). If everything is already mapped out (or has already happened) then it is perfectly possible for the start of a set of events to be chronolically after events that occur later in the time line. There are not really 3 hectors there is one hector on a time line that doubles back on himself twice. From a viewers perspective it looks like a loop but from Hectors persepctive there is no loop. After Hector has gone all the way though the switch back time line he will come out the other end and time will continue for him as a straight line (unless he gets in another time machine).[/spoiler]
Thats my take on it anyway hope that helps (alhough I sill find it a little hard to grasp myself
)
