Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) learned from his father (Bill Nighy) at the age of 21 that family men have the ability to travel back and forth in time. Father advised him to pursue money fame and fortune without meaning, it is better to do something interesting. For teenagers, Feng Tang's novel titled "Give Me a Girl at the Age of 18" is naturally his inner desire. The simple and shy Tim began to try to get love through traversal.
Although the chemical effects of travel and love have created screen classics such as "Western Journey", but "Time and Space Love Traveler" has not fallen into the stereotypes. As the director said, this is actually an anti-traversal movie. Going back to the past is to change history, but the spark of love can only be wiped out by meeting the right person. The jerky Tim finally gave up on crossing to force after repeated battles and defeats. Fortunately, his and her Mary (Rachel McAdams) didn't let him wait too long.
Although the Chinese translation of "Time and Space Traveler" summarizes the main story, the main theme of the film is the original name About Time. Time means timing and process, which is also anti-traversal. For example, in the film, Mary was anxious about what to wear before attending the event, so she caught Tim for an idea. After several rounds of praise, Tim discovered that Mary had chosen the dress she had initially denied. If you can traverse, it is estimated that every time a man hopes to go back to telling a woman to wear the first one tens of minutes ago. Now, the case advises men that the process of cultivating patience and cooperation is the correct answer.
From the perspective of the detailed process, time represents years of life. Regarding these, Tim and his son, who can travel through time, certainly have the most say. One of the troubles of life is that everyone will be exhausted and restless in the busy and unknown life. According to his father's point, Tim used to spend the day as usual, and then traveled back to enjoy the same day without suspense. But gradually, Tim stopped doing this. He realized that to cherish every day as the last day, to actively embrace life, is happiness.
Compared with the previous works, "Time and Space Traveler" has more philosophical meaning. However, you can still hear the movie episodes that hope to have the original soundtrack right away, see interesting supporting roles with different personalities, and British landscapes that are not as good as action. If the Cornwall summer seaside scenery in the film is a bit far away, remember to pay attention to the Maida Vale subway station on the Bakerloo line when you are in London.
