The Age of Adaline

The Age of Adaline

According to the synopsis of the plot and the advertisement, "Even though love is complicated, heartbreaking, and sometimes impossible to stay together until old age, it is still better than immortality." When her lover passed away, she believed that she was destined to be lonely until End of the World and gradually closed her heart, but when she met someone special, she realized that "I don't care about the eternity, only care about what I once had", and she once again plucked up the courage to embrace love.

It's a pity that I didn't see the vicissitudes and loss caused by this tragedy and endless years. She fell into two love affairs easily, but she began to avoid love when it was close to maturity. The reason is not She is afraid of losing, but she does not want people to discover the secret of her immortality, afraid that the wind will leak out and be caught as an experiment, that is, the pain caused by eternal life to her has escaped before it can be manifested, precisely because of limited The love experience of her, she can't see the growth it caused her, let alone let her understand the value of love. In the second romance, she suddenly had courage, and the underexplained turn was really dumbfounding.

For a love, should we pursue "staying together forever" or "grasping the moment", this should be the thinking that the movie will bring us, but unfortunately this film does not make full use of the special background setting of the heroine to discuss it, and finally Just kitsch throwing a simple answer. I even think that removing the background setting and deleting the first paragraph of romance will not feel any incongruity with the ending.

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.
