Life is difficult to compare with each other

Part of it was put on the high-speed rail last October. After half a year, I had a complete encounter with this movie.

When I saw the end, I felt that the summer that 21-year-old Tim spent with his first love was very far away, when he had just acquired the ability to travel. Later, Mary said that she liked the proposal that only the two of us were in. This time Tim did not come back, and then quietly sent away the band playing in the living room. From here on, if it were not for the relatives who would be lost, Tim rarely did. Then take the initiative to travel through time and space for "correction". Mary also said that she does not regret having a wedding in a rainstorm. Even awkward and imperfect moments cannot be reproduced. In terms of experience, it is difficult to compare life with each other.

I yearn for the corner restaurant where we are dining and chatting in the dark. When we walk in, the external image of people is hidden. Voices and thoughts become ways to understand and attract each other. Sometimes we can use other senses instead of seeing people with our eyes. Like Tim's parents and family. Perhaps it was because my father went back through time and space just to read books, which made me feel better about him; the first time my mother met Mary and asked, what shortcomings do you have, Mary answered honestly, and none of her mother’s response embarrassed him. Smart makes me think this woman is cute. Tim's family goes to the beach every afternoon to drink tea, sunbathe and chat, and play open-air movies every Friday night. Mary smiled as if she had all the happiness in the world.

The premise of time travel is to remember all the details of the past, specific to time and place, which in itself is an excellent way to pay attention to life and self. After reading it, I thought I was also in the time tunnel, recreating the present. I don't know what the future will be. I just look at this multi-faceted and colorful world at twice the speed of the present.

About Time quotes

  • [Tim and Mary are in bed]

    Mary: So not such a bad day after all?

    Tim: No. It was pretty good, really. Very good day, actually, as it turns out.

    Mary: Well, that's a relief. Because it had been a very bad day, I thought I might have had to have had sex with you to make up for it.

    [she turns the light out]

    Mary: Goodnight.

    Tim: [he is lying blatantly and Mary knows it] It was a very, very bad day. It went very badly. I got fired from my job. And then I killed a man.

    [she turns the light back on]

    Mary: That is a very bad day.

    Tim: It's terrible.

    Mary: Yeah, the worst day ever. I'm so sorry.

    [they start to make love]

  • [Mary wants another baby]

    Mary: I just thought that maybe it was time for the insurance baby.

    Tim: What?

    Mary: In case one of them is really smart. We don't want the other one to feel stupid their whole life. And if we had a third one then we could have *two* happy dummies. What do you think?

    [Tim realises that once another baby is born, he will never be able to go back to a time before that]

    Tim: [voiceover] It was the toughest decision of my life. Saying "yes" to the future meant saying "goodbye" to my dad - forever.
