This movie is very small and fresh. In fact, it seems that some other people's comments will say that a lot of time travel is unnecessary, and you can wear it once or twice. It's almost the meaning. But looking at it carefully, I don't think it's unnecessary to "go back to the past" every time, every time has its meaning, every time has its story, and every time has its harvest and touching. From the beginning, I was curious when I only knew that I had the ability to travel, and I was still afraid of life, so I kept using this ability to make up for my regrets. After that, it gradually turned into using time travel to keep memories. When I saw the end, I suddenly couldn't help crying, and I also thought about a lot of questions about life. It sounds huge, but the film's opening of this discussion from such a small and unrealistic setting makes for a deeper reflection on what we have and what we have to lose. Time is wonderful, for everyone he's on the go and never stops. The feeling of being unable to grasp time is helpless, but it is also cherished. Even for a time traveler, it is easy to return to the memory scene again and again, but just recreate the memory of that point in time, nothing has changed. Sometimes I think about the unverifiable things like parallel time and space. Maybe at this moment, I can't time travel, but I have the same choice and make a different decision. People are weak and panic because they can't see the future, but it is these unknowns that have brought hope and motivation to life.
One of the scenes that moved me towards the end of the movie was when Tim wanted to go back to the past to help his sister, but in the end he realized that after returning to reality, his children were no longer the same. At that time, he resolutely decided that even if his sister was physically injured, he would return to the memories that belonged to his own child. Suddenly I thought of Tim's dad's speech at his wedding. He will always be the son he is most proud of, and he doesn't want any changes in him, no matter what the future holds. Seeing this, I found that in fact, every parent's love for their children is irreplaceable. Parents hope that in the future you will be more successful and bring them much glory, not because of how cute, beautiful and kind you are, but more importantly, the time when your parents watched you grow up with you. Those days are not so perfect, but they are more precious, just like the protagonist, to go back is just to experience the time with my father again...
This film makes me feel profound also because of this tangled theme of life. Although in the plot, when Marry asked Tim if he wanted a third child, Tim was very entangled. The father and son were placed in front of him, and in the end Tim chose the latter. The screenwriter has turned the past and the future into such a realistic and concrete object in front of you for you to choose, which is more emotionally implicated. It reminds me that the past is all memories. In real life, these are the past that can't be returned, but even for a time traveler, the days he goes back carry his own memories, so that time, even if he goes back for thousands of years Thousands of times, it is not something that can be left and caught.
After talking about such a big proposition, I want to talk about the theme of love. In the past, the first love that Tim loved very much, no matter how he goes back and makes up for it, it can't make them together. Maybe some people are not yours. No matter what, you will miss it. I believe that God has his arrangements, and what can change is life. It's just the minutiae, but the soul mate in life is also a matter of eyes. But seeing TIM so diligently shuttle between time and space in order to pursue Mary, I feel that many times, true love must be fought for.
Good movie, summed up.
