I read this story of Wells in the first two years of junior high school. It was combined with his "Invisible Man" into the same thin book. I have always been impressed. I didn't expect to read it today this movie.
Maybe it's because I've been reading the book for a long time, and I think this movie is the one I've seen that hasn't faded from the original. The film fleshes out the inventor of the machine, adds the reason why he invented the time machine, and gives him the ultimate heroic happy ending. Many scenes are not those in the impression of the book. For example, the large and gorgeous palace that was more than 800,000 years old has been replaced by a group house like the Eagle's Nest on the cliff of the canyon in the movie, but it does not affect the kind of people that give people. A grand feeling. There is nothing about the Eloy people in the film, but the evil of the Morlocks is more terrifying than I thought. It was creepy when I watched it, and now I think about it, some of the pictures are a bit, um, disgusting. The film is also very brilliant. One is the changing scene when the time machine is turned on. The style of the clothes in the window is constantly updated, the arrangement of the house is changed again and again, the skyscrapers are gradually pulled up, and even disasters come. Earthquakes. The other is the combination of two time and space events in the same place and front and rear of the ending shot into one shot, which is great. I really want to learn the skill of making videos.
There is always a plot in the book that describes the little girl in Eloy, and there is a flower. How can I remember that she seems to be very, very small, very delicate, like Thumbelina. There is also a description of a flower that is said to be in the protagonist's pocket. After reading the book, that flower has been spinning around in my mind, and it can be triggered by a similar plot or something.
I don't remember what the book was trying to say, but the film shows it clearly at the end. "Each of us has our own time machine. It is memories that take us back to the past, and dreams that take us to the future." There is also the idea of "what if", without the inspiration of if, Alexander would not make time machine, then nothing will happen. We are not the same, always give ourselves some hope, if things don't happen like this, if what can I do, if I can go back to the past, if I can know the future, it is these ifs that make these dreams come to the present , there may be a future.
Of course, in the end, Alexander was not able to prevent Jasmine's death. Perhaps he also gave up to change the past, but through his own efforts, he abandoned the time machine to change the future destiny of the world. I don't know if he found the answer in his heart that he couldn't change the past, or if he just obeyed his kindness and stopped thinking about saving Jasmine for the future of more people. I remember the desperate words at the beginning: "Why can't I change the past? I can go back 1,000 times, but it's just watching her die 1,000 times in different ways."
Suddenly, he thought, why did he start The time cannot change the past. It was after he came to Bi 802701 that he saw the development of the world for many years before he went back to destroy the Moroccans. In this way, he returned to the past and changed the world. Thinking of the theory of relativity, if there is a time machine, how should we define the past, present, and future? The past is the present to the past, and the future is the present to the future. . .
