This "Lovers at the End of Time" tells the story of the heroine, Adaline , who gained the ability to stay young forever after an accident and became a duckweed that no longer floats in the river of time. Different from the bizarre sci-fi setting of immortality, the film pays more attention to the emotional world of the heroine. In other words, this is a romance film in sci-fi skin.
Maybe you think it's cliché. After all, a good love movie is inserted into an inexplicable ageless setting, and it is illogical to talk about how to follow the heart to get love, but what the editor wants to say is that this is not only about love, but also about love. It's a film about myself.
Adeline was born on January 1, 1908, at 00:01 midnight. It is the first little life in the new year. Perhaps such a lucky baby is destined to have an extraordinary life . When she was 27 years old, she unfortunately suffered a car accident and was on the verge of death, but the lightning that fell from the sky created a miracle, it saved a life, and made this life stay at the age of 27.
As time passed, Adeline gradually noticed the difference. Her time was stagnant . People around her, including her daughter, were getting old. Only she was young forever. This kind of abnormality almost made her arrested for experiments , so she started the road of wandering.
When a person is immortal, he may be ecstatic, cheering for his extraordinaryness, or he may panic and fear that he is different...
Adeline was also afraid, as she said, "I live every day as the last day", because she didn't know why her abnormality started, and she didn't know when such a special event would suddenly end, so she I don't dare to love, I don't dare to enjoy, I just hope that when I leave alone and low-key, I can still have a place in the world...
When a person has an immortal life, then time is just a unit of measurement for her. It is the coldness that she sees all the flowers and leaves, the numbness that she watches from birth, old age, sickness and death, and the pain that she is trapped in the cycle of fate. Unchained shackles. Adeline has experienced the death of her beloved husband and the despair of having to leave. Fortunately, she is accompanied by her daughter and pet.
In the blink of an eye, more than seventy years later, her daughter has also become a white-haired old man, and only Adeline is still the same as she once was. Thinking about it, she knew how scared she should be . When her husband died, when she left her lover, when she moved and ran away again and again, she still had a daughter to worry about.
Daughter is like a small harbor on the sea with her lonely boat. With her, Adeline can convince herself to live , but what she has been avoiding is that her daughter is about to die, and then there will only be left in this world. Own. Such a terrible conjecture, it should be said that the facts have long been in front of Adeline's eyes, but she just avoided it. If there is a day, the editor thinks that Adeline will choose to die, because at that time she was just a lonely empty space. shell .
Adeline was still lucky. She met a man who loved her deeply, Ellis . At first, she wanted to leave without saying goodbye, because time will dilute everything, whether love or memory.
She is like the wind walking in the crowd, charming when she is affectionate, and indifferent when she is ruthless. Because of her speciality, she always resists love, because she does not believe that anyone will accept such a special self. If she misses Ellis again, maybe she will soon be the decisive figure of her disheartened death.
Love is great, whether it is family love or love between men and women, it can be great enough to save a person. The hasty escape time and time again consumed Adeline's desire to love and be loved a little bit, and even almost broke the connection with the world for such a stunning woman. In the end, loneliness still overcomes fear, because for Adeline, loneliness is the abyss that she can't cross in her heart.
Maybe the viewers who have seen it will say that Adeline and Ellis are both illogical and ethical, but the editor thinks that this person can be Ellis or any man. The real focus is on Adele Lin compromised with loneliness, she chose to add love to herself.
As the editor said at the beginning, this movie adds the sci-fi setting of longevity and the romantic love at first sight setting, like a pot of hodgepodge without a theme. But on closer inspection, it is there.
If you have acquired the ability to live forever, will you still pay superficial attention to your appearance and wealth after decades of baptism? Adeline is indeed a smart and beautiful woman, but that doesn't stop her from being an ordinary person. The film only depicts her defense through her moving house again and again, but it doesn't show that she may sleep alone in the middle of the night again and again...
Just like rich people are not surprised by how much wealth they have, Adeline is not happy for how many years she has lived, it is more like a meaningless torture to her. Fortunately, she was once again favored by the goddess of luck. In a car accident, her clock began to tick after a long absence, and this time, she will be happy and her lover to the end of time, where she Those who love and those who love her will find redemption, peace...
