One:

Before watching [About Time] (About Time), I thought it was a love comedy with sci-fi elements, but it turned out that it was a growth story of a big boy.

Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) On his 21st birthday, he learned from his father that he has the ability to travel through time and space. When he was young, he only thought of using this superpower to pursue love and make everything perfect. But as he grows older, he understands that life is inevitably flawed, so he cherishes the time he spends with his family... The

movie is sweet and funny. After watching it, he is not only in a good mood, but also warm and heart-warming. Rachel McAdams, who plays the heroine Mary, is cute, and the hero Domhnall Gleeson is also extremely pleasant. In the movie, the exchanges between him and his father (Bill Nighy) were warm and moving, and there were several places that made me cry in my eyes.

Watching [Back to my favorite day] is actually a bit like looking through an old photo album; while looking at old photos, I think of many trivial but important things in life. Those memories are bitter and sweet, but they are all important fragments of their own lives. If you haven't experienced those things, you won't have the self you are today.

The movie reminds the audience to cherish the people in front of you and live every day well. After watching the movie, I couldn't help asking myself, how long have I not had a good conversation with my parents and gave them a tender hug?

a second look [back] favorite day, mixed feelings.

Because I already know how the story will develop, when I see those ordinary life segments at the beginning, my tears are already missing. Many people find their daily life extremely boring and hope to have new stimulation, but in fact, the whole family is neat and tidy, and they are already extremely happy. Instead of trying something new and seeking a momentary pleasure, it is better to re-examine the familiar things around you and appreciate the beauty of them.

When watching a movie, have you noticed how the hero's mentality changes when facing setbacks? When he was young, he failed to court and kept his grudges for many years; after becoming a father, he found that he could not help his sister by traveling through time and space, so he changed another way and was able to achieve his goal in the end. Such a change just confirmed the experience brought to him by time and life.

The actor travels through time and space to say goodbye to his father before welcoming the arrival of a new life. The filming is very moving. Just as the script mentioned, one has to move forward and cannot fall in love with the past forever. Even if there is perseverance, one can only learn to accept it. Time can heal the scars and make people forget the sadness. As long as we are willing to look for it, something beautiful will be waiting in front of us.

Richard Curtis’s script is very in-depth, and the message it brings out is really worth remembering again and again.

About the soundtrack of the movie:

In addition to the beautiful stills and song information in the booklet, there are also director Richard Curtis The content of the written paragraph is quite interesting. Transcribe the first paragraph to share with you:

ABOUT TIME

Most often in movies, things don't turn out as they're meant to. The songs you thought would fit perfectly with your script turn out to be too slow, too long to reach the chorus, or just too expensive. But sometimes you get lucky - and "About Time" is my lucky one, the film of mine where the music dream actually resembled the reality. The original draft of the movie had "The Luckiest", "Into My Arms", "Il Mondo", "Gold in Them Hills", and "How Long Will I Love You" written into the stage directions. In fact, the original draft of the script had three titles - it was called "Tim & Time OR The Luckiest OR Gold In Them Hills." The profound observation that, no matter how life is turning out, there may be gold in them unhappy hills if you look for it,is the whole point of the film.

To find a soundtrack for a movie, many times what you think is not what you actually get. Some songs that you think fit seamlessly with the script are not too slow, it takes too long to get to the chorus, but the price is too expensive. However, sometimes you get lucky, and [Back to my favorite day] is my good luck. The soundtrack I chose for this movie is very similar to my musical dream. The first draft of the movie script has five songs, including "The Luckiest" (the luckiest), "Into My Arms" (lie in my arms), "Il Mondo", "Gold in Them Hills" (hidden Happiness) and "How Long Will I Love You" (how long will I love you). In fact, the first draft of the movie script has three titles-"Tim & Time OR The Luckiest OR Gold In Them Hills." ([Tim and Time or the luckiest or hidden happiness]). My deepest experience is that no matter what the end of life is, as long as you are willing to search those unhappy hills, it will not be difficult to find gold. This is the theme of [Back to Favorite Day].

    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.

  • [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.
