Since we can't go back

Since we can't go back and don't have the superpowers of the protagonist, let's live every day well. I believe this is also what the screenwriter and director want to tell us. The protagonist said that he learned the secret of his father, lived it twice every day, and tried to discover the happy moments that were missed in life the next day. We don’t have the ability to travel, we don’t have dress rehearsal, we’re not ready to make corrections, all we can do is to see the beauty of life, keep ourselves positive and optimistic under any circumstances, and let ourselves and the people around us feel life happiness, let this happiness pass on. On the day when the male protagonist went to the store to buy food for the second time, he just smiled a little more, which made the female clerk happier. Gifts of roses, hand left lingering fragrance!
The first half made me wonder. Is love really accidental? If the male protagonist does not have this ability, the female protagonist will not start with him! How did you find the right person? Will he or she just miss those few seconds with himself, without the glance of each other, and he or she will always be a passer-by? Is it destined that the right person is always waiting for his appearance at that specific moment? Makes me really wonder if the guys at the Time Planning Bureau are serious about charting everyone's life trajectory.
Also, you must find a stable, interesting and reliable partner to spend the rest of your life with. If your marriage is not happy, it will be the worst thing in your life. The protagonist's mother said that the girl should not be too pretty, that would not be humorous. I think it makes sense. I know a lot of beautiful girls who live such a tight life, while the fat ones who are not so beautiful make people very happy to talk to and get along with them.
We are all traveling through time together everyday of our live. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride.
Yo, have a nice day!

About Time quotes

  • [Tim and Mary are in bed]

    Mary: So not such a bad day after all?

    Tim: No. It was pretty good, really. Very good day, actually, as it turns out.

    Mary: Well, that's a relief. Because it had been a very bad day, I thought I might have had to have had sex with you to make up for it.

    [she turns the light out]

    Mary: Goodnight.

    Tim: [he is lying blatantly and Mary knows it] It was a very, very bad day. It went very badly. I got fired from my job. And then I killed a man.

    [she turns the light back on]

    Mary: That is a very bad day.

    Tim: It's terrible.

    Mary: Yeah, the worst day ever. I'm so sorry.

    [they start to make love]

  • [Mary wants another baby]

    Mary: I just thought that maybe it was time for the insurance baby.

    Tim: What?

    Mary: In case one of them is really smart. We don't want the other one to feel stupid their whole life. And if we had a third one then we could have *two* happy dummies. What do you think?

    [Tim realises that once another baby is born, he will never be able to go back to a time before that]

    Tim: [voiceover] It was the toughest decision of my life. Saying "yes" to the future meant saying "goodbye" to my dad - forever.
