Chapter 1,782 If you cherish the present, then you don’t need to start your life over again
What do you mean by "Time Traveler"?
After the screening, many film critics and media people were divided into two parts.
Some people think that this is a rare masterpiece, but some people think that it is nothing more than that.
But overall, this kind of literary-oriented movie still gets mostly positive reviews.
"The movie evokes a lot of thoughts. The director's brilliance lies in that he strengthens the themes of love and life and weakens other related contradictions and the logical and scientific nature of time and space.
After all, this is a two-hour movie. We don’t need to strain our minds and spend time studying the physical basis of the protagonist’s time travel in detail. What we need is to immerse and relax in the cinema, and experience the unique and unique experience of time travel with the protagonist.
Romance follows. So we don't discuss logic, only perception.
There are two great things about this movie that make it transcendent.
One is that its character setting has strong romantic characteristics.
A man comes to the world with a unique talent, an innate ability to travel through time, and there is only one thing he wants to do: find true love.
Just imagine if any of us were given this gift, what would we try to do? The answers must be strange, but what I am sure of is that it is definitely not as simple as finding true love.
And our lovely classmate Tim is such a persistent young man, which has a lot to do with the environment in which he grew up.
His family lives in the suburbs far away from the city, isolated from the world. The beautiful and simple rural life is the prerequisite for Tim to become a simple child.
And the first thing he did when he had the ability was to go back to the time when his first crush appeared.
Later, we fell in love with Mary, an exceptionally beautiful girl. With an ordinary and happy life, he got everything he dreamed of. But we all know that life is far from simple, with happiness and sadness, but TIm did not abuse it.
His ability is not to have to repeat every regret. Because he believes that love can make up for the shortcomings.
The second point of its transcendence is its plain authenticity, allowing the audience to empathize with the protagonist's state of mind.
If it is a time-travel drama with a science fiction theme, we can follow the protagonist to experience time adventure, but our rationality will make us envious and regard it as a fairy tale fantasy.
But for an ordinary person like Tim, who lives an ordinary life in an ordinary family, his special function is reduced to an "ordinary" characteristic. Just like each of us has a characteristic that distinguishes him from others.
Even the process of "exerting power" is ridiculously simple. He just closes his eyes and clenches his fists in a dark place, and imagines the place he wants to return to.
His wife didn't know that he could travel through time at the end.
While watching the movie, I have been looking forward to the climax where Mary discovers Tim's special powers and begins to question whether the starting point of their love is based on the image created by Tim himself.
However, the movie did not fulfill my wish, nor did it satisfy many people's wishes. Many people questioned that the conflict points of the movie were deliberately weakened.
But I think this is one of the transcendences of the movie.
The ambition of the movie is obviously greater.
Just imagine if the climax of this story really is that Mary discovers the truth about Tim, which puts their love into question, and Tim may win Mary back in the end. This is just a short discussion about the possibility of true love, nothing more.
The death of his father and his sister's car accident are another theme brought out by the movie: life.
When he faced the fact that he was about to lose his father, he actually did not have the grief of saying goodbye like others, because he knew that he could go back and spend time with his father unlimited times. But a problem ensued, that is, when Mary wanted to be born again
When he is a child, he faces a choice. The birth of a new life cannot be turned back. It is one life at a time. This means that if you want to go back to meet your father before the child is born, you have to lose this new life that was born after the father died.
life.
He either gave up his father or gave up his child. The past and the future, the birth and passing of life, are irreversible. We saw that Tim hesitated in front of Mary, and finally agreed, which meant that he decided to walk out of the past and welcome the future.
.
Many people say that the plot of the movie is too weak. Yes, this is probably the shortcoming of the movie, but the flaws cannot be outweighed.
There is a saying: When you are young, time is only the present, and the future that is constantly being swallowed up by the present; when you are old, time is only the past, and the present is constantly being swallowed up by the past.
It really expresses the state of life. We can never transcend time. We can only be slaves of time throughout our lives and pray for its mercy. The conclusion given by the movie at the end is Tim’s emotion, to the effect that we don’t have to spend time thinking about it.
It is enough to go back to the past and change something when we have spent our energy concentrating on spending every moment of our lives. Because this is the only thing we can do as human beings." - Film critic Liu Fei.
"The movie begins with the summer when all teenagers are full of worries and have nothing to do. Twenty-one-year-old Tim leaves home for London with the regret of his first love and curiosity about life. Before leaving, his father told him a family secret. All the
Men all have the ability to time travel. The following story is based on time. Love, marriage, and childbirth follow the life process in a smooth and uneventful manner. The rhythm structure of the entire film is almost completely ignored, and only the protagonist's narration connects life one by one.
Important scenes.
Speaking of which, movies that use "time travel" as a joke are not new. The special thing about "Time Traveler" is that it does not deliberately emphasize going back to the past to change your life. The "butterfly effect" was even ignored by the director without scruples.
Tim has used all such important life skills on trivial things like chasing girls, helping friends, and seeing his parents - but isn't this the most important thing in life?
While watching the movie, I couldn't help but laugh when I heard Tim's father, James, say that his ability to travel through time has been used to read many books.
But after watching the movie, I couldn't stop laughing.
Because life has an end, even if you have such ability, it also has an end.
Therefore, when Tim's father James grew old, he did not choose to be sad, but chose to go back to the past and spend more warm days with his father. This is actually the real way to make up for the regret.
Not only his, but also his father's.
There are many details throughout the movie that make people smile and trigger feelings. For me, the most touching thing is that Tim tries to live every day twice, once to live nervously and once to live calmly and meticulously.
feel.
It is those ordinary and beautiful things that make the life that has been written fat and juicy.
It's probably like this. In life, you will eventually forget how you stumbled. You have arrived at the present moment by road and small roads. What you remember are two or three corners, and what is unforgettable is one or two street bricks. "The orientation of life must be high.
, life experience must be deep." Anyway, we can't live slower, so it is better to live as long as possible.
While watching the movie, you can often hear laughter.
As a male protagonist, especially a foreign male protagonist, to be honest, Tim is indeed clumsy, but it is precisely because of this that he feels so cute.
The male protagonist, Tim, is the kind of ordinary, inconspicuous, not cool at all, who was given a good guy card by the beautiful girl he fell in love with for the first time. The female protagonist, Mary, is the kind of ordinary, literary, and good-looking male protagonist.
A heroine who is passable but not sexy or noble or cool at all, and who is in no way compatible with a goddess.
They chatted happily at a dark Blind Date dinner, and then he fed the cake to her eyes in the dark. After it was over, Tim waited for Mary in the alley lit by dim lights outside the door.
Appear.
Generally speaking, in love stories told in movies, the heroine appears like a goddess. She gracefully steps off a carriage with a stunning face under the brim of her hat, or she is washing a car, with her long legs, raised hips and big breasts at a seductive angle.
But Mary is really ordinary!
When we saw Tim's first love, White Moonlight Charlotte, when she first got out of the car, we had a really amazing feeling.
But not Mary!
She is really not that stunning. She has such frumpy and uncool bangs, and wears a dress that is not sexy or trendy at all. She is neither sexy nor confident when she speaks. She is very shy, and even dare not look at you. Secretly.
Look at you, then look at the lights, look at the stones in the alley, is there any love more innocent and unsophisticated than this?
But her smile was so beautiful. When she looked at Tim, she felt a light coming from her heart, and the little joy of "I feel so good to see you" flowed out quietly and shyly. When she finally left,
Said to Tim: "I can't remember exactly!"
She looks so clumsy, she doesn't know how to "put oneself on the line and play hard to get", doesn't she?
Look at Tim again, stupidly and hurriedly asking for the girl’s phone number. The young guy, with such a stupid look, is different from those mature and sophisticated people, with the smell of tobacco, who will quietly say to the girl, “The perfume you are wearing is very good.”
There is no competition among men like "Smell." But he is so sincere, so sincere that standing in front of him, you will deeply feel that I am watched, admired and admired by him.
At that moment, when I saw two clumsy people expressing their feelings to each other in the most clumsy way and expression, I believe many people could not help but feel deeply envious. Envious of such an encounter and heartbeat.
Some people say that there is no standard for love. If there is a standard, it is for those who do not love.
Yes! For Tim, Mary is not as beautiful, fashionable and youthful as Charlotte.
But to him, love is love.
Even if she is clumsy, even if she is not cool.
Their date does not have to go to a restaurant on the top of a mountain, spend hours putting on exquisite makeup and wearing a decent little black dress. The cold French food may make your stomach uncomfortable.
As long as it's like this, I love your voice in the dark, your sense of humor, you love my laughter after being poked in the eye by the cake, and my silly bangs and smile standing under the light.
As long as we appreciate each other, we can see the sincerity behind each other's clumsiness.
Then they fell in love, Mary got pregnant, and they were getting married.
Everything happened so naturally, it seemed that there was not so much excitement, some were just as plain as water, and some were just mutual support.
The seemingly ordinary days of getting along with each other are actually the most enviable.
This is a crazy wedding. The church door opens, light pours in, and when the focus is right, there is often a holy bride wrapped in white gauze, slowly entering with the most romantic music.
At the wedding, Mary wore a red cotton skirt and swayed to Tim as she swayed to the melody of the music. Her eyes were full of naughty and successful smiles, "Look, my surprise is your favorite song."
.
The wedding coincided with the neurotic weather in the UK, with violent storms, everything went to waste, the dress was all wet, and the venue collapsed, but they laughed so crazily. Finally, he asked her if she could have a perfect wedding all over again.
?Mary said no, that's fine.
Sometimes I wonder, what is the most beautiful love?
Erasing the imperfections and unsatisfactory aspects of life and being fully prepared may allow us to obtain the safest life that runs along the original track; but the most beautiful things in life are precisely those unexpected encounters.
Many of us always dream of having a perfect life.
As the so-called perfection means, you will never say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, never face embarrassing situations, and always remain rational in the face of major life decisions. Your wedding day must be a sunny day. When you meet your old lover,
You must behave politely and generously.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But is it really possible?
Is it really possible?
Could it be that regrets are often what people remember?
The most tear-jerking part of the film is Tim's final farewell to his father.
If a new life is born, the existing new life will be lost before the birth of the time-travel. The butterfly effect is the last word. The skill limitations that all people with the ability to time-travel repeatedly also apply here.
Therefore, even if the male in the family has the inheritance of time travel, the father and son cannot change the fate of eternal separation.
For the last time, father and son returned to the male protagonist's childhood, and worked together to relive the lost childhood and turn the good things into memories. It turns out that people always have to grow up, and growing up comes at the cost of constant loss.
One day, your favorite toys will be put away in the closet, and your favorite relatives will go far away. No matter how reluctant you are to let go, some good things are destined to withdraw from your life, but life must continue. Because on the one hand, life is constantly losing
, on the other hand, there are constant gains, and life flows due to gains and losses.
I think the essence of time travel is a kind of repair and compensation for life.
If we can time travel, after a hurried and busy day, we can time travel to the morning one minute before going to bed and spend the day again. This time, don’t rush around, listen to every bird chirping and watch every flower bloom on the way.
, remember to give a smile back to the stranger who smiles at you, live every day as the last day of your life, and feel every unforgettable part of your life over and over again, just like constantly reading the beautiful sentences and chapters of a good book, reluctant to leave them behind.
Now it becomes a memory.
However, if life is repaired repeatedly, it will slowly turn into a series of carefully woven lies and deceptions. Losing the truth, the meaning of life becomes questionable. We are unable to cross, so we are warned to cherish life. People cannot step into the same river.
, but even if we can only remember the beauty of the past by the river, it is enough to honor a lifetime. When flowers bloom, they will fade. Cherish every moment, and life will not need to be repeated.
