Although it has a very sci-fi name, the film focuses more on love. The sentence "I tried to change history to prevent unfortunate things from happening, but it didn't work" pushed all the logical discussions about time travel aside. This film tells the story of a man who may be unable to control time travel at any time. A love story with his doomed love (who first met him from the future when she was 7 years old).

With such a unique background, this film naturally has many plots that rarely appear in other films. The male protagonist will travel through time and space at any time, reviewing his past and peeking into his future, and may also fall into a completely unfamiliar place. His life is moving forward in constant repetition and exploration, which is a wonderful experience. What is more unlucky is his wife, her husband will disappear at any time, and the husband in front of him may be from all eras. Driven by these plots, the film shows some special suspense and special emotions to the audience. For example, it is possible to predict when the male protagonist will die, and it is impossible to escape; for example, after the male protagonist dies, the female protagonist looks through the autumn water and waits for him to cross over, which is the last scene. This experience is also very innovative and very touching.

This is a very good subject, and I also learned after watching the movie that it was adapted from a novel. However, I think this film has completed a qualified love story, but there are still obvious shortcomings. It shows more than the wife's situation, and digs very little into the husband's inner world. What we see is that he is very helpless to wear it. In addition, I feel that it is a waste to render a love story with such a big theme. It is said that the male protagonist in the original novel has a wide range of thoughts on life from his own situation, and has a lot of experience. The movie doesn't show this at all.

The actress was so pretty when she was young. Authentic loli.
