It's just a vulgar romance, nothing more

As far as expectations go, it's a terrible movie. Because it uses the same core concept as "This man is from the earth": people who are immortal and immortal, I was looking forward to how the screenwriter will use it. As a result, it became another love story, and it was pretty vulgar. There are so many opportunities to take the movie to another level, it's just wasted.

Since there is another pair of "normal lovers", why not make a comparison and explore human emotions. I prefer to write someone as the heroine's ex-boyfriend.
Since people who write about eternal youth re-enter the net of love and focus on showing the powerlessness of death, it is also possible to compare the two concepts of "immortality" and "death", and their extended conflicts. Actually, there is no one dead, and the husband of the only heroine died in an accident before the heroine could stay young forever. The protagonist (and the eternal youth she is supposed to represent) faces no death. In the end, even the heroine is fine! Another car accident, turned out to be fine!

    Spoiled by the scene where Harrison Ford meets Blake Lively in the trailer, the first hour of the episode feels like a waste of time. The fantasy setting of Adaline's age is just a decoration in the end. The screenwriter did not dig deep into her to fight time and soul. Only her changed identity is as superficial as the changed clothes on her body. This woman has lived a life. In the century, when it comes to love, emotional intelligence is still so low. ★

    [Another piece of 2015's legacy] I said that this beauty looks familiar. I have already seen several of her movies. The latest ones are "A Little Busy", "Shark Beach" and "What I Have Seen" It's all you", etc. Of course, I haven't watched the "Gossip Girl" series (I'm still face blind ^_^) I just watched the movie and then paid attention to other works of the heroine, and I was shocked when I saw it. A woman who watched the Golden Gate Bridge rise from the ground fixed her life at 27 years old because of an accidental car accident, because a coincidental lightning strike changed her body genes and no longer grew old (this is the dream of many beautiful girls) Time flies her Because of her immortal appearance, she often had to change her name and surname every 10 years to find someone to make a fake certificate. Finally, on a certain day in 2014, she did the certificate for the last time. Later, she met the real man who affected her destiny... and then slowly revealed The answer to the mystery is staggering: her daughter already looks like her grandmother, she is still beautiful, her later lover has been married for 40 years, and she falls in love with his son again; the last two lovers are in the same time and space Meeting an old-fashioned bell and the other is still as good-looking as first love
