I don't know why this film is rated so high, maybe it makes up for many of people's shortcomings in reality! The mistakes that have been made are changed by going back in time, making the impossible possible. It is impossible to have no regrets in life. Existence is reasonable. It is not necessary to make up for all regrets to be truly complete. It is said that people cannot step into the same river twice, so in the face of this failure, what we have to do is to learn lessons, accumulate experience, and avoid the same mistakes next time. Instead of constantly going back in time, trial and error, to see which works best. How can life give us so many opportunities for trial and error? Going back in time constantly, regrets can be made up again and again, what else in life allows us to remember the experience of a lifetime? It seems that all errors can be corrected to make everything flawless. When I first started watching this film, I thought that this state of life seemed to be pretty good, but the protagonist goes back in time again and again, avoids all possible mistakes, and strives to achieve perfection, which makes people feel suffocated in the development of more and more plots. ! Is a life without regrets a life? This kind of idea is really good, but hasn't he learned from the experience in this time and again? Every time a thorny problem cannot be solved, it is reversed and reversed. What impressed me the most was that when the hero met Charlotte and greeted her, why did he bring the topic to "gay" again and again? The first mistake has already been made, and obviously he doesn't want to talk about this topic and cause unnecessary misunderstanding, but why does he still think of "gay" every time he does it? In fact, this approach of the male protagonist is deceptive to some extent. But on the whole, although the idea of ​​going back in time is not desirable, the positive main line of the movie is still worthy of recognition. ps: The bgm of the movie is pretty good!

    Too many logical problems make it impossible to accept the rules and play of this world. There are too many unrelated details outside the main play, and it is a little messy to talk about love and family. It's a warm and relaxing movie viewing experience. Rachel, who is in her 30s, is still cute when she smiles.

About Time quotes

  • Tim: [voiceover] And so he told me his secret formula for happiness. Part one of the two-part plan was that I should just get on with ordinary life, living it day by day, like anyone else.

    Tim: [voiceover] But then came part two of Dad's plan. He told me to live every day again almost exactly the same. The first time with all the tensions and worries that stop us noticing how sweet the world can be, but the second time noticing. Okay, Dad. Let's give it a go.

  • [Tim has just learned his dad is dying of cancer]

    Tim: It's just... I though with the time thing...

    Dad: No, I never said we could fix things. I specifically never said that. Life's a mixed bag, no matter who you are. Look at Jesus: he was the son of a God, for God's sake and look how that turned out.

    Tim: I know... You must see I feel a bit cheated.

    Dad: Don't. In fact, feel the opposite. The only people who give up work at 50 are the time travelers with cancer who want to play more table tennis with their sons.
