When we met, her wrinkles were broken in her smile, and his blue stubble was full of desire. But when everything came, it was as if it had been written in advance, and he was very familiar with this scene.
In a hotel, he saw an old photo of a woman whose eyes were so familiar. All these pictures were lit up at this moment, and the old man who gave him the gold watch was the person in the picture. The seventy-year-old waiter said that seventy years ago, he was a child, and his father forbid him to play ball in the hall. Seventy years ago, a very beautiful actor lived here.
He actually decided to travel through time to see her. He had his hair done for 70 years, put coins from 70 years ago in his arms, and recorded himself muttering to himself, "This is 1909... Ninety-nine years...", lying quietly on the bed waiting for the fall of that love. When he woke up, he saw a lonely child playing ball in the hall.
"You're here."
"Yes, it's me."
This is that simple and pure love.
The wonderful thing is that, now and in the past, you don't know which is the beginning and which is the end. It's an exhausting cycle.
But he was brought back by time because of a modern coin. He was lying on the bed in despair, muttering, "It's 1909...it's 1909", but he can't go back. He actually chose to go on a hunger strike to die here.
The movie is a bit hypocritical, but it talks about a clean love, a love that even time and death cannot stop.
A friend finally summed up the sentence "This movie tells the story of an old woman hooking the soul of a young man." A perfect comment.
