When it comes to time travel, the heroine Rachel McAdams can also be described as the goddess of time and space. There has long been "The Time Traveler's Wife" (2009), and now there is this "About Time", which also plays the time traveler's wife. In "The Lovers of Time Travel", she has to adapt to a husband who has gone without a trace. Every time he goes there for a long time, there are not many opportunities to meet. It even took a woman's life to wait for a man. But this time the husband is different. Every trip is to return to his own memories, and he can go back and forth many times, but each choice and ending are also different. In time and space, there will not be a good ending every time, and liking someone will even be rejected. In each trip, different memory segments are a bit like the setting of the German movie "Lola Run" (1998), with the same scene but a different ending.
How many can you go for alone? The same is a goddess, "The Lovers of Time Travel" spends his entire life in order to meet the man he loves, and has the love that is promised to maintain. But this time it was love at first sight by the man. Even if he reversed the ending, he still had to find the goddess with all his heart, and didn't want to see her as a wedding dress. Twisted all six people, and finally embraced the beauty. In the world of young people, it is all about love, a happy and carefree family, a seemingly good and promising job, a car, a house, and a woman and a child in the future. It is understandable for young people to fall in love more than ever. Whenever there is imperfection, time travel can pave the way for a better future, and sometimes even some regrets can be avoided. Should have fallen in love with each other, the protagonist has at least not experienced the pain of being "destined to walk together but failed." In his world, love is beautiful, and the heroine will eventually return to him, no matter what challenge she encounters, she can have a second and third chance.
When faced with the beauty of love, he just couldn't help his family, and he couldn't use his own power to reverse his sister's love and father's illness. No matter how perfect a person is, no matter how perfect the story is, it will eventually need to learn to accept imperfections. Inevitable injuries and diseases will still come. Superpower is limited. It can only go back to the past and cannot see the future. This is its limitation. The beauty of time is actually to let us feel that kind of old age, so that we don't give up and regret in the face of love, and it is the old proposition "hold the person in front of you tightly." Having superpowers is actually not a good thing. Being too perfect may not be able to withstand failure. On the contrary, sometimes failures and setbacks will make us grow more.
Love is the proposition of the movie. Learn from "Back to the Favorite Day" to leave the favorite, and everyone will have this day. We will all break up eventually and bid farewell to the one we love the most. People in the play always have to accept all kinds of imperfections, and the joys and sorrows of life are mixed.
Similarly, the protagonist in the play has his own struggles. The journey is full of limitations. If he is nostalgic for the beauty in front of him, he will destroy the things in front of him. History will change, and some history will be better if it is allowed to happen, because it is destined to happen. This movie about time and space is not too complicated in nature. It has a typical British layout. Love itself does not need to be tricky. It is nothing more than acquaintance, love, and everyone looking for the future together. We don't know what the future of film will be like, but it is optimistic. It reminds us to live in the present, the future will come with it, and we look forward to it in the mid-term. Some movies don't need to be too deliberate, just feel satisfied in your heart. This "Back to My Favorite Day" can still be regarded as a dessert, with a light life, a big truth, and a fresh taste and warmth in my heart.
