Penetrates more than 20 years of water-like time in water- like dreams, and wanders even longer
in water-like music. Somewhere in time It is beautiful and simple in the 1980s. If it is placed today, I am afraid that it has already been squeezed into corners and corners by the rich and rich blockbusters; Well, although going back in time is always a topic of eternal beauty and beauty for human beings who are naturally keen on the ontology of life. Since the film took place in that era, it seems sincere and supple. I am not a nostalgic person, but I can't help but be in the film. In the overlap of sound and light, he made a trip through two time and space. 1970s: At the graduation party, an old woman who came unexpectedly, put a delicate pocket watch in the palm of the actor's palm, and spit out "Come back" to me"; eight years later, the actor who has become a famous playwright came to the Grand Hotel for the first time, and the elderly waiter Arthur suddenly asked thoughtfully: "Have we met before?" The black and white picture in the hotel exhibition hall The dignified and beautiful strange girl in the photo made him stop and concentrate inexplicably. Arthur told him that it was a popular stage actor many years ago. The photo was taken in 1912 at the theater next to the Grand Hotel. It should be the first person and scene, why is there such a familiar trance? A series of questions drives the doubts of the actor and the audience. So, go for the answer. In the library, he searches for the actress. In a magazine about the last years of her life, in that dying photo Man, it's clearly the old man who gave him the pocket watch at the dance eight years ago! Looking for the apartment in front of her. Opened the exquisite music box, the music wafting out, along with the rain outside the window, sprinkled in my heart. It was obviously the first time I heard it, but it was his favorite music!












That old man, no, it should be the girl from 1912, there must be a connection with him that is constantly cutting and chaotic!

One wave after another. The mystery is deeper. He wants to turn back time, he wants to get the answer. He went to the antique store to buy a suit from the beginning of the century and changed it for 1912 coins. He even actually found his name on the Grand Hotel's 1912 guest register! He was sucked into the vortex of time and space by an irresistible force.

1912:
Under deep hypnosis, he woke up from a dream and was really in the room at the beginning of the century.
By the sea, the shadows of the trees fade away. Yi people are hidden. gradually approaching. In 1912, he came from the world 70 years later, knowing everything, he wanted to make the truth reappear. At that time, she didn't know him at all, but murmured: "Is it you?"
Meeting, acquaintance, acquaintance, and love, although there was reluctance to stop him from outside, it proceeded slowly as expected. Even the room and time he checked in at the Grand Hotel completely matched what was found 70 years later.
Passionately. Has time really frozen? Can the two really be together forever?
The coin he accidentally took out from his suit pocket was minted in 1972!
At that moment, time and space suddenly opened its icy vents, and her hoarse shouts gradually faded away, and he, forever returned to the era that truly belonged to him.
The actress who lost her lover will have to wait all her life. At the dance party 70 years later, she put the pocket watch he lost in the past on his palm. In this way, life always converges in the wrong space.

When she first saw him, he knew her completely.
When he first saw her, she waited for him all his life.
The mistake of fate twists the curve of life. To him, those scenes seemed familiar because he had actually experienced them at some point in time. So for her, where did the déjà vu of "Is it you" come from when they first met? Is he the one she was waiting for in her dream? Did he have an appointment with her in this life in a more ancient past life? The whole movie seems to be a process of answering questions with the hero as the axis, but it throws deeper doubts about fate to the audience.
The pocket watch was handed over to him who knew nothing about it by the old woman, and he lost it by her side 70 years ago. It changes hands every 70 years.
No one knows where it belongs or where it came from. Just like no one knows the source of time and the flow of life.

Time flies, and things are different. But at some punctuation points in your life, time must have carried the turbulence of life, and stayed for you. There are surprises that are familiar, and there is a sense of loss. Collect those small fragments, even if you can't turn back time to taste the sweetness of the past, let beauty flow in the depths of the river of life.
