"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste."
When picking up the tickets at the Maoyan self-service ticket machine in the afternoon, this classic line appeared on the screen again, and it was no different from usual, so I would not take a second look.
When I went to bed at night and watched "Time and Space Traveler", this sentence suddenly appeared in my mind, and I unconsciously began to miss the time every Friday afternoon. You can walk into the one-room movie hall and taste a movie; the aftertaste is in the autumn in the afternoon. Walking in the sun.
Speaking of About Time, just like the tall theme of the original name in English, the film is not just about the "love journey" of love. From unconsciously ignorant of first love, to the disappearance of father forever, we witnessed the story of the protagonist Tim for a long time and watched him Open the chocolates in life, and enjoy the taste of life in the two-hour movie.

Playing in the water by the beach, drinking afternoon tea, father-son table tennis, home theater, and carefree beaches have raised a standard British "boy next door." Even with the super power of crossing, Tim is not destined to be a "love field master". After traveling back twice to confess to the goddess, it was as usual shy and clumsy and at a loss.
Tim and Mary met at blind date dinner. The dark environment relieved Tim a lot of anxiety, but it was still difficult to hide her clumsiness. She would feed the cake to her eyes. When the conversation was very happy, every detail and every word would be Enlarged, and then disappeared into the laughter, the affection caused by the similar resonance is leaping in the air. Such acquaintance is destined to be unforgettable.
In order to encounter by chance, sitting and waiting at the art exhibition, not knowing myself but rashly approaching, entering the room and tripping over the high heels at the door...Tim is probably a model of negative teaching materials for a compulsory love course, but kind people are not too bad luck. His superpowers helped him finally fall asleep to the girl he likes.
Mary is also anxious about her new haircut, and she will talk endlessly about her boyfriend in front of her parents. Like an inexperienced child, they are always clumsy and cute in front of their loved ones—because they want to do it so hard. I look awkward, and because of that, I look cute with all my heart.
Such lovely two people walking together, no matter how long the years will be, they will be affectionate.

Whenever he realizes that he is standing in front of his son who has traveled back to him, his father will be stunned for a moment, and then he nods and says: I get it. A plain sentence is naturally not strange to this situation, but I am willing to interpret it as right. Son’s understanding and support. Tim continues his father’s preferences and personality, and his father also sincerely confessed that he is proud of Tim at the wedding.
The two people will play table tennis together for years, share family secrets together, talk about reading life, travel back to the early years and relive the old times. The father-son relationship in the film is probably the most ideal state.
The scene of sending off his father is also very moving. Everyone walks downstairs in turn, wipes their tears in front of the mirror, adjusts their mood, and then walks out the door to hug their mother and say goodbye. Such a scene is easy to think of "Diet Men and Women", and the children have them. There is no permanent banquet in the world without my own small family. At this time, the mood of the two generations is complicated and unspeakable, but they have crossed the boundaries of culture and time, and are similar.
The second daughter later "inherited" her father's kitchen. Tim strolling along the Cornish beach is no longer a teenager, but a father, eating men and women, and fireworks in the world.

"I tried every day, just like the day I had traveled back to, to enjoy it, when it was the last day of my extraordinary but ordinary life... Stumbles and falls have made me who I am now."
The film speaks the last paragraph based on the protagonist’s feelings. It is not a deep philosophy, but it tells the true quality of life.
Our life will not have a story of crossing. I still remember the high school and good friends skating on a double dinghy on the beach. Because of curiosity, I slid out of the harbor and was overturned by the waves. For the first time in the sea, I felt the helplessness of life. I swam by instinct. On the shore, I was soaked and embarrassed. I was tired and sat on the beach thinking that if I slip again, I might think about an "accident".
There are too many unexpected accidents in life, like the unbeautiful pouring rain at a Cornish wedding, which wets everyone, scrapes the canopy, and drenches the cake, but when Tim asks if he wants a wedding It was held on a sunny day, Mary still smiled and said, no, that's great.
Life is a journey of love. Unexpected parameters are added to life, changing the trajectory of the function of time, presenting a variety of conditions, and each person is so special as an individual.
We are all born. I wonder if you feel lucky for this unexpected journey?
