you are your time

Old-fashioned plot, but still touching.

Somehow, when watching the film, I always think of "This man is from the earth". In fact, the repeated life is almost the same as eternal life, and the setting that cannot travel to the future is also doomed. The protagonist can change. And see, only their own past. From this point of view, this film is completely different from "The Time Traveler's Wife".

Focus first. The climax of the film should be when the father suffers from cancer and then teaches the secret to happiness.
There are so many happiness, to put it bluntly, but there are two:
1. Unchangeable every day
2. Enjoying every moment

is precisely because it cannot be changed, so it is important and continuous. This also explains why this family of time travelers is weird, because their memories, experiences, and experiences are discontinuous, multi-layered, and even contradict each other.
Enjoying every moment is also a very popular opinion, but who can guarantee this all the time if it is not possible to look back in the years? It's not easy to live a life of fun and quality.

In the end, the protagonist said, live like an ordinary person. I personally feel that the director is pretending to be atmospheric here. In fact, if you enjoy every moment, the world is already changing enough. Even if all joy wears out, even if all splendor fades, there is always something new to look back on. This also makes one wonder what it would look like if the human lifespan was increased to 1,000 years.
By the way, I am writing this film review here, and I have also revised it many times. Each time, I am fighting against the past and making up for the flaws of the past. When I am doing something, I have become accustomed to thinking twice, and I often assume that it is difficult to extricate myself.

Going back to the story, another climax of this story should be that after the male protagonist and his first love girlfriend accidentally met again, they rejected the invitation to the bridal room and turned back to the current girlfriend to propose marriage. This really moved me. Any man who sees this will agree. Going back to the past is not for hooking up, but to compensate for the shortcomings in your heart. In any case, in the end, you still live in your own reality.
In life, the only person you can't fool is yourself.

Another interesting point is that the male protagonist rescued his sister from the scumbag brother-in-law, and looked back to find that the child had changed. Suddenly there is a kind of helplessness that time and space make people, this is almost the only irreversible butterfly effect.
In this type of film, there is not much butterfly effect in this film, and there may be logical loopholes (I didn't find any obvious defects in the first time I watched it), but it will make the audience feel more comfortable. Even if there are flaws at this point, I don't think it constitutes a deduction.

The warmest part of the film is the parting play of father and son. I think many people have such scenes in their minds (by the way, the scenes in the wardrobe really make me feel like a dream of the protagonist, in fact, even if it can't change anything, it is very happy to look back bar)
, in fact, after everything has passed, the return to the capital is beauty.


———————————————————————————
I know that it was all the wrong paths, every step of stumble that brought me here. ...Every day we live, we travel through time and space together.

We're all travelling through time together every day of our lives.
——————————————————————————————



There are many small details worth mentioning playful.

Do the same thing at the same pace every day.
Everyone inevitably makes little mistakes.
I have read all the books one can read in one's life. (So ​​he taught college 233)
Traveling through time and space doesn't make a person fall in love with you. (before meeting the heroine)
You are a total stranger. (The first time to go back to the past to find the heroine)
Many people will be clumsy for the first time. (Fuck the truth)
Is my perfect lover satisfied in one go? (It seems to have exposed something)
"Sometimes I have a bad temper" "This is very important, otherwise how will men listen to you" (feminists don't come and shoot me!)
"Life is a hodgepodge, it's the same for everyone, look at Jesus, he's the Son of God" (muddy)
"Father and son fighting in the World Pool Finals, and they're not Chinese" (inexplicable joy)
" There are already more children than the Chinese are allowed to give birth to.” (Do you understand Harmony?)


I like to watch interesting movies several times. When I watch them repeatedly, I really feel like going back to the past, and I often buy movie tickets to be in the dormitory. Look at the gun version, every time, there are many new details.
As is the case with movies, so is life.



By the way, don't forget the last sentence of the movie: ——See you later
.
—See you later.

    I actually think that every so-called bug in this film has to exist for a certain purpose, and superpowers are only tools used to convey the theme, not the theme itself, so there is no need to pursue it seriously. Love comedy has scenery, music (really great), smiles, tears, and a little more touch and hope for life, not to mention such a crazy wedding and such a cute male protagonist!

    I went to a small theater far away to watch the last show under the heavy snowstorm, laughing and crying with the people all over the room. This is my 2013 movie of the year. The soundtrack is great, and the montage of the subway scene reminds me of John Lewis' commercial. The last time my father and son ran on the beach, I was crying stupidly.

About Time quotes

  • Harry: [showing him his new room] Here you go. Try not to make too much noise, particularly when having sex.

    Tim: No chance of that.

    Harry: Christ, two losers in one house.

    [pointing at a picture]

    Harry: That is my daughter. Have sex with her if you like. Apparently everyone else has.

  • Dad: Later on, I may tell you about Tim's many failings as a man and as a table tennis player. But, important first to say the one big thing, I've only loved 3 men in my life. My dad was a frosty bugger so that only leaves dear Uncle Desmond. B.B. King, obviously. And this young man here.
