Don't play hide and seek with time

I probably have watched too many sci-fi movies, and I have a natural resistance to such pseudo-sci-fi movies with many loopholes and a fragmented worldview.

However, this is really a love film, a literary love film with a strong French flavor. The warm soundtrack, for a moment I thought I was watching a little love song from Paris. (Comrades who like the BGM of the film can go to the OST soundtrack...)

If you also have the super ability to travel through time and space, what do you want to use it for? Save the world or find a girlfriend? This is probably the warmest part of this film. The male protagonist uses all his superpowers just to find a female friend. . .

Living in the moment. Live with it. Enjoy the most beautiful present.

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.
