Candles are short and regrets are long, old people are unforgettable

This film tells a fairy tale love story in a pseudo-scientific background, and it is also a personal film show of the goddess Lively. But as a romance film, the development of love in the film itself is very little (although it is possible to properly learn the skills of flirting with girls); although the acting of the goddess looks okay, it cannot interpret the soul of the complex character Adaline And emotions - it stands to reason that the centenarian should have seen through the world and the wind is light, but personally feel that her understanding of love is still very one-sided (especially the sudden change in attitude towards the male protagonist).

In addition, the only thing to watch in this film other than the goddess is Harrison Ford's wonderful performance. Or she has already left, and even the white-haired daughter has to be taken care of by her mother; at the end, the heroine finally opens her heart to take pictures and her physique returns to normal.

In any case, people eventually need to get rid of loneliness.

PS Falling in love with the ex-boyfriend's son is not considered incest, but don't you feel ashamed and awkward?

Q: What kind of man can get such a woman?

Answer: Ryan Reynolds, the enemy of life (dog head funny)!

The Age of Adaline quotes

  • Narrator: Ten months after her husband's death, Adaline was driving north to her parents beach cottage where 5 year old Fleming was waiting up for her, when something highly unusual occurred, something almost magical - snow fell in Sonoma County, California. The immersion in the frigid water caused Adaline's body to go into an anoxic reflex, instantly stopping her breathing and slowing her heartbeat. Within 2 minutes, Adaline Bowman's core temperature had dropped to 87 degrees,

    Narrator: At 8:55 a bolt of lightning struck the vehicle discharging half a billion volts of electricity and producing 60,000 amperes of current. Its effect was threefold. First, the charge defibrillated Adaline Bowman's heart. Second, she was jolted out of her anoxic state causing her to draw her first breath in 2 minutes. Third, based on Von Lehman's principle of electron compression in deoxyribonucleic acid - which will be discovered in the year two thousand thirty-five - Adaline Bowman will henceforth be immune to the ravages of time. She will never age another day.

  • Flemming: You don't have to be alone forever. Don't you miss having someone to love? It's been such a long time.

    Adaline Bowman: It's not the same when there's no future.

    Flemming: What are you talkin' about, you got nothin' but future!

    Adaline Bowman: I mean a future together, growing old together. Without that, love is, uh... it's just heartbreak.

    Flemming: It's the same for everybody. How many times has my heart been broken?

    Adaline Bowman: Too many.

    Flemming: If I had your looks and your energy, I'd fall in love tomorrow, I really would.
