If you have to do your best, start preaching to others?

"About Time", I watched this movie about half a month ago, but it has been delayed until now to write a review. I'm so lazy...



Let me talk about Rachel McAdams first. I have liked her for about 7 or 8 years. I have mostly seen her movies. Whether it is a commercial or a literary work, the quality is outstanding or unsatisfactory. It is enough for me to see Rachel smiling and happy on the screen. This is a woman who is full of endless charm in her own existence.

I actually like the movie hero, so I was looking forward to it. But no matter how beautiful Keren is, it can't save the fallacy of this movie. It can be said that I dislike the argument of this movie very much. At first, this feeling was not very obvious, but when the male protagonist kept on time travel and changed the past to capture the female protagonist’s heart, the number of times was a little upsetting to me. But as the relationship between the two gradually heats up, they gradually feel that there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, it is a romantic love sketch. It is enough to just look at the pleasing people and talk about the pleasing love.

Who would think that when the end was approaching, the hero actually came to such a monologue: "At the end of the day, I learned the last lesson of my time travel, and I was even one step closer than my father. In fact, I never now Traveling back to the past, no one day. I try to live every day, as if I have traveled back. I try to enjoy every day, as if it is the last day of my ordinary and extraordinary life. Every day of our life, It is a journey in time, and all we can do is to do our best to cherish this wonderful journey. "I

was speechless in an instant. This is a good thing to say, and the truth is thorough, which is really great. But the question is, is the male protagonist qualified to say this? In order to hook up with the female protagonist, in order to live the current life, how many times has he traveled through the past? Now that he has everything he wants, he has stopped, and he can start to talk about the principles? God, what kind of person is this! No matter how right it is, it is not for the male protagonist to speak. Since then, the director completely ruined this work. No matter how touching Rachel was, it would be disgusting. In the last 3 minutes, all the things that can be spoiled were spoiled, and all the good things left in the first 2 hours were gone...

Another movie that was ruined by the director's little thoughts...Too many directors and screenwriters now have too much ambition, for fear that making a plain and ordinary love literature and art will be regarded as superficial and without connotation. , Everything has to be a great deal of hardship. Alas, sometimes plain and ordinary stories are good...

  • [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.
