"Time and Space Lover": The success of not making a time travel film into a sci-fi film

I recently watched two movies about time travel and came to one conclusion: don't make time travel a science fiction movie.

The first is Coherence, the Chinese name "The Night When the Comet Came", trying to make it into a serious sci-fi film, with clever perspective, thrilling plot, and countless brain cells. It is a good sci-fi film. However, when it comes to the issue of time travel, all kinds of bugs appear one after another. For a while, the time and space are only slightly changed, and for a while the fate of the heroine in other spaces is already very different. Various explanations are unclear.

So the second About Time is much better, because it got rid of the idea of ​​making time travel into a serious sci-fi film, but turned it into a heart-warming chicken soup. .

First of all, the people who can travel through this film are limited, only one family, and only the men in this family. Simply put, it is father and son. So, now you understand that it is actually a father-son education growth story...

Secondly, this film completely avoids the bugs that may occur in time travel. Never talk about technical issues, such as whether you will see the past you if you travel back, and will the past you kill the present you.

Again, the plot of this film is mainly about love and family, and it has basically become a qualified chicken soup film for the soul. Now that there are many less technical problems, the real question is, if you have the ability to go back to the past and change your life, will you let your life start all over again, do what you haven't done well, and do it well? place to do better?

The answer given by the film is no. The answer given by the film is to treat every day as if it was only once. Even on a stormy day, you can see the beauty in life; do your best every day, be kind to your family, be serious about your work, be open-minded about difficulties...

Well explained. However, there are always regrets in life. There is always the urge to live a new day or period of life all over again.

    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.
