I just finished watching the 2007 American drama last week.
The setting is a bit like the male protagonist in "The Time Traveler's Wife" who can travel through time and space, but the time travel here is for a reason. The purpose is to let the male protagonist return to a certain time period in the past to save someone. character, and the survival of this person plays a certain key role in the development of future events.
The male protagonist, Dan, is a news reporter. He has a beautiful wife and a good baby, and his life is quite happy. However, all of this was disrupted by sudden time travel. Although Dan tries hard to balance his special abilities with the happiness of his family, his sudden disappearance and the present crisis brought about by the past make his wife live with anxiety and worry all day long.
The first two episodes were pretty good, and the plot was very tight. I think everyone has fantasized about being able to go back to the past and change the tragedies that are about to happen, but things don't necessarily develop towards this goal. There is a thread that guides Dan's actions. Deviation, and then returning to the present, will produce earth-shaking changes.
The relationship between the characters is very charming. Dan and his fiancée Livia, who thought he was dead, met in the past. Facing his former love, he still does not regret having his current family; Dan's wife Katie, a woman who fears for her husband every day, She was in so much pain, but she was still reluctant to leave the man she loved so much; and the brotherhood between Dan and his brother Jack, they didn't like each other, but at the critical moment, they knew that they could only trust each other.
However, the American dramas of this year are basically cut before the first season is finished, and there are still reasons for them to be cut. Of course, this drama also caught up with the bad years, and it seems that it was broadcast when the screenwriters in the United States went on strike. In addition, the more I read it, the more messy the content becomes, and I always look anxious and in a hurry. The main line is looming, nothing more than involving some conspiracy theories, secret scientific research and so on.
The concept of being able to travel through time is always fascinating, and you can't help but imagine. But in fact, going back to the past or going to the future, what can change? Just like the butterfly effect, if history is really destroyed, then the results will be good or bad. In the last episode, Evan, who is also a time traveler, changed her fate in order to save his wife, but what they got was that their lives no longer had any intersection, and the sweet happiness they once had can only exist. In his personal memory, is such a price too helpless?
So, people, never think about the past or the future, only the present is the most important.
