change the future

The movie recommended by Mr. Li Xinpin was watched twice on Youku. Not my style, especially the second half, it feels "fake" in some places.

The story is very simple, the scientist's lover was accidentally killed by a gangster. So scientists made a "time machine" to go back in time and want to change the ending. It turned out that he still couldn't save his lover's life. In the end, I chose to go to the future, looking for a solution to the problem...

I like the lines of the film. The past cannot be changed, but the future can. There are two scenes in the film that left a deep impression on me:

the first one is when scientists are on their way to the future, a series of changes are taking place in the world, women's skirts are getting shorter and shorter, and tall buildings are getting more and more. It took a hundred years to complete, but from the perspective of history, everything is too small.

I think: even this earthquake, I am afraid that thousands of years later, it will only become a short line in the history book.

Another paragraph is the ending, where the scientist and his friend appear in the same place, just at a different time. Suddenly I remembered Zhang Ailing's words: So you are here too.

    We all have our time machines, don’t we? Those that take us back are memories, and those that carry us forward are dreams. This line is a classic.
