I didn't cry this time.

British mysticism has a history. Hundreds of years ago there was a poet named Donne who wrote a batch of golden poems; there was also a mystic named Donne in the 1930s who invented the theory in the film.

If two people are on two parallel lines, because one point attracts each other, they will gradually connect to other points on the parallel line, filling your calendar.

So the point where the two are attracted to each other is Cape Cod in the first place. Of course the painter likes the magnificence of the landslide and tsunami. And the little girl died here. The first time they met was at the Skate Plaza in New York. In this way, they echoed each other on parallel points, spanning 10 years.

Debussy's Daphne and Chloe also reflect this obscurity beyond time. Without this music, the movie wouldn't exist.

But this film is also a very strong hint that there is a person waiting for you in the ends of the earth, beyond all time. You can find true love as long as you have the courage to pursue it. That is the meaning of existence. Such men and women are always in harmony, unlike Lawrence's novels, where men and women are always on the mark.

Portrait of Jennie quotes

  • Narrator in prologue: Since time began man has looked into the awesome reaches of infinity and asked the eternal question: What is time? What is life? What is space? What is death? Through a hundred civilizations, philosophers and scientists have come together with answers, but the bewilderment remains... Science tells us that nothing ever dies but only changes, that time itself does not pass but curves around us, and that the past and the future are together at our side for ever. Out of the shadows of knowledge, and out of a painting that hung on a museum wall, comes our story, the truth of which lies not on our screen but in your hearts.

  • Eben Adams: I want you, not dreams of you!
