The narration at the beginning of the movie made me feel a little dull, incomprehensible, and even a little boring, but since the male protagonist met his first love and resolutely chose to propose, he began to change his mind. The first love was the beauty he could not have wished for when he was young, and it was still glorious after many years. He still had feelings for her, but he knew exactly what he wanted.

Later, when the male protagonist's father died, he went back to the past to visit him. His father soon realized that the male protagonist came from later, and easily chatted with him about his funeral, because his father knew that the male protagonist came from the past. If you miss him, you will come to see him. Until the male protagonist wanted a third child, he visited his father for the last time before his wife was about to give birth. The father noticed it and asked him, this is the last time, right? The male protagonist said, well, because of having a new child. Then they went back further into the past together, running by the sea again. I don't know why, but this is the most uncomfortable place for me, and I cried out with a wow.

Slowly I understood why the beginning of the movie said that their family always repeats the ordinary life every day, drinking tea, walking by the sea... Maybe it was the constant return to the past before my father died, even if it was an ordinary day, always It is also precious.

And after watching this movie, I had a dream. It may be because of the sudden death of my grandfather, so I have not been able to really come out. Even in the past few years, when my family talked about him, I just couldn't open my mouth. I felt that I might not be able to stop crying in the next second. That day, I dreamed that I was back before he died. The room was filled with the kind of golden, warm sunlight that came in from the kitchen. I asked him, will I give you a hug? He said, good. After waking up, I sat on the bed for a long time, and I didn't feel anything in my heart, just empty, that kind of endless empty feeling, but from the next day, every time I think about this dream, I cry, it's that kind of Very sad to miss and regret.

While this movie made me have illusions, it also made me feel that life was originally beautiful, even if it was busy, even if it was a lot of trouble at times, it was very precious. Rather than the ability to go back in time, what we need is the courage to live each day well.

    I thought I wanted to see you, but I found out that the past is always the past and the future is still the future, but I only have the present and don't need to start over

    The plain life drama is a little bit of sci-fi component soft to almost non-existent, but it played a finishing touch at the end. Most superpower movies focus on the use of abilities. Tim slowly understands the limitations of abilities with the help of his father. Warmth and family affection is especially precious in the end. The twin brother in Harry Potter, the old play bone, Bill Ney, the cute little girl. These three elements give a great bonus to the plain and long script.

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.
