Days of the past

It's weird that I'm reminded of this movie again because I just finished watching the new 2016 movie, Captain America 3. The movie is good, but the feeling after watching it is so familiar, like the humid air that instantly involved me in a childhood dream.
Really, that's how this movie made me feel.
It's not that the movie is unforgettable, but the experience of watching it is unforgettable. A person's relationship with a thing is definitely because of himself, because his own experience has had a profound intersection with it.
It was 2014. On the eve of my undergraduate graduation, my girlfriend was going to break up. I couldn't think of it for a while, so I called my aunt for advice. Auntie said, do what you want to do, don't care about other people's eyes. That same night I went to the cinema to see this movie. The X-Men gave me too many childhood memories. In fact, I really wanted to watch this movie at that time, but I really felt that it was a bit miserable to watch it alone, so I never went there.
After watching the movie that day, I was very emotional. There are two songs left in my ears, one is main theme and the other is time in a bottle. These two songs stayed with me for a long time, but then I forgot about them. Like the memories and time of senior year. It wasn't until I saw Captain America today that I picked it up and chewed it.
Days of the future past, a movie about time, and every experience of mine has been marked or will be marked with time, it is really a fascinating romance.
