A few questions about this film for the first time are recorded for the next time

1. Why did those who did not fall asleep disappear? Where have they gone?

2. Can't figure out if the abandoned airport is the future or the past; or the spoiled food can indicate that the time is in the future?

3. I didn't make it clear that when they returned to the time gap for the second time, everyone had to fall asleep to spend it peacefully (this may be the same as the first question)

4. As far as the film's expression is concerned, the little girl's What is the point of dying?

5. Why do monsters eat Toumi first when they appear? (The director must have his reasons for this arrangement, what is it?)

6. Why can't they see other people when they return to the brand new airport? (At this point, I've seen other reviewers explain that they're 15 minutes into the future, but even that doesn't understand why they can't see anyone else; my guess is that they might be able to see the people in the future in the first place Appearance, similar to prediction; in short, my physics is not so good)

7. Why can their time be synchronized with the people in the new world? Why do children call them "new people"? Is it because of their sudden "appearance"?

Although it is an old film, the tense atmosphere in it can drive the audience, and it is a very exciting film. Maybe it's because I'm used to the routine of commercial blockbusters. This kind of suspicious film really made me think for a while, but I have no physical knowledge, and I can't think of the whole picture. In any case, this movie will be one of my favorites to watch every year.

The Langoliers quotes

  • Bob Jenkins: Let's say that every now and then a hole appears in the stream of time. Not a time-warm. A rip. A time rip. A rip in the central fabric.

    Don Gaffney: That's the craziest thing I ever heard of!

    Craig Toomy: Amen!

    Bob Jenkins: Mr. Gaffney, the situation we're in right now, this is crazy. So let's say that such rips do occur every now and then. It would be similar to rare weather phenomenons that are reported. Upside-down tornadoes, circular rainbows, daytime starlight.

    Captain Brian Engle: The aurora borealis.

    Bob Jenkins: [Bob looks to Brian in surprise] What?

    Captain Brian Engle: There was an aurora borealis over the Mojavi Desert when we left LAX. We were supposed to fly right into it.

    Bob Jenkins: Then that's it. An auroa over the desert. That strengthens my point. If we were to fly into that, and it was a time-rip then that means we're no longer in our own time, ladies and gentlemen.

  • Don Gaffney: [listening to Jenkins' time rip theory] That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

    Craig Toomy: Amen!
