The plot is average, ask: If you had unlimited time, how would you spend it?

The plot is not very good, so I'm immune; but there are 1 points to watch: the heroine plays a person who looks like 29 years old but is actually more than 100 years old. Her speech and behavior should be mature and indifferent. This curious person can take a look at it. With the passage of time, our thoughts can change drastically, maybe we can see more openly when we are unhappy; 2 If you have unlimited, or several times as much time as ordinary people, what would you use it for? Like me, read books, read history, learn different languages

Narrator: Ten months after her husband's death, Adaline was driving north to her parents beach cottage where 5 year old Fleming was waiting up for her, when something highly unusual occurred, something almost magical - snow fell in Sonoma County, California. The immersion in the frigid water caused Adaline's body to go into an anoxic reflex, instantly stopping her breathing and slowing her heartbeat. Within 2 minutes, Adaline Bowman's core temperature had dropped to 87 degrees,
Narrator: At 8:55 a bolt of lightning struck the vehicle discharging half a billion volts of electricity and producing 60,000 amperes of current. Its effect was threefold. First, the charge defibrillated Adaline Bowman's heart. Second, she was jolted out of her anoxic state causing her to draw her first breath in 2 minutes. Third, based on Von Lehman's principle of electron compression in deoxyribonucleic acid - which will be discovered in the year two thousand thirty-five - Adaline Bowman will henceforth be immune to the ravages of time. She will never age another day.

Flemming: You don't have to be alone forever. Don't you miss having someone to love? It's been such a long time.
Adaline Bowman: It's not the same when there's no future.
Flemming: What are you talkin' about, you got nothin' but future!
Adaline Bowman: I mean a future together, growing old together. Without that, love is, uh... it's just heartbreak.
Flemming: It's the same for everybody. How many times has my heart been broken?
Adaline Bowman: Too many.
Flemming: If I had your looks and your energy, I'd fall in love tomorrow, I really would.
