There are many topics for people to discuss, for example, it is Time travel brought two people together, but in the end it also brought them all kinds of conflicts and troubles that they couldn't avoid. So, I saw this story as an opportunity to make a great love story The movie, at the same time, has a lot of unspeakable undercurrents flowing under the relationship that the two people have managed together - but for me, it feels more real for no reason. Especially at the beginning of the story, Just set up a premise and made it clear that both men and women have an incredible talent.

In any love story, you need to create moments of dramatic conflict, just In order to promote and test the reliability of the relationship between two people, these two characters themselves have such characteristics, including the relationship between them. Can't believe they really love each other. I think 'The Time Traveler's Wife' is a very moving story and it will leave you with a lot to ponder."

At the time, I deeply felt the emotional flow in it, and I naturally realized how suitable such a story is to be adapted into a movie... In fact, such a belief is still a bit jumpy, because you have to accept Henry's physical condition. And everything that may happen to him at any time, this also helps you have a good grasp of what kind of woman Claire is. First of all, she must have a firm belief. Once she chooses, she will completely trust her. The loyalty and the environment we are in are also the driving forces that support us to follow the story.
