Women can shine like comets

I don't think this is a ridiculous work. In fact, if you look at it from a symbolic point of view, it is actually a fairy tale about women's wisdom and intelligence. And fairy tales are always simple in many places, and you can't investigate too much with the details of life experience.

I must say what I don't like, the only thing is that she is a little arrogant. When entering the house of the boy who helped her forge documents, when a woman praised her for her beauty, she brought a copy of "I nobler than you" arrogance. This is different from the arrogance of "I am noble".

When she treats the male protagonist well, reflects on herself, and moves forward bravely, I think she is really cute. A person can feel good about himself, but he must maintain a sincerity, because the world is always worth facing with curiosity and respect, and it is worth learning more

The Age of Adaline quotes

  • 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.
