The world still wants you.

In our life, we have experienced many things around us, after life and death or the ebb and flow, we often hear many people say, all this is life. When I was a child or now, every time I heard this sentence, a thought flashed in my mind, is there really "life", and we really can't resist it. Haha, doubt or believe, it has been so skeptical for so many years. When I was a child, I heard a somewhat vulgar lyric, "What's the point of winning the world and losing to you?" I thought of this lyric inexplicably when I watched this movie. Is it doomed to be lonely in order to win the world? The only reason the time planners took apart David and Alice was that they would become lazy because of their love for each other and lose their lifelong pursuit of each other. For thousands of years and hundreds of years, the love that human society has been pursuing since the very beginning is actually the root cause of the destruction of human beings. This is unreasonable. Writing this, I suddenly thought that at first, in high school, teachers always taught us not to fall in love early, but there are still many students in the class who keep trying and break up and get hurt. , this is also related to personal perception, but it is a matter of time. In the film, David abandoned Alice, who was sprained, in the hospital alone. I think it's not that he doesn't love her. Many times, what we fear is the harm that "life" will bring. But does this "life" really exist, and is it really unchangeable? Or is this "life" just a lie people make up to avoid harm? Alice in the film is really still a stubborn woman. When David asked him if he would like to be with him, he said the phrase "I'm coming with you" without hesitation. When they kissed on the rooftop, time stood still, and all the time planners finally disappeared. "Fate" is still no match for "love", isn't it? I don't know if only good feelings can make people grow, but I know that we are human beings, and we are destined to be ordinary people who need love and be loved. What we cannot resist is not "fate" but "feeling".

Harry Mitchell: [talks to David] You're going to look for her, aren't you? You won't find her. They'll make sure of it. Even if they weren't trying to stop you, there are nine million people in this city. You'll never find her. Forget about her. Move on with your life.

David Norris: What ever happened to Free Will?
Thompson: We actually tried Free Will before. After taking you from hunting and gathering to the height of the Roman Empire we stepped back to see how you'd do on your own. You gave us the Dark Ages for five centuries... until finally we decided we should come back in. The Chairman thought maybe we just needed to do a better job of teaching you how to ride a bike before taking the training wheels off again. So we gave you the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Scientific Revolution. For six hundred years we taught you to control your impulses with reason, then in 1910 we stepped back. Within fifty years, you'd brought us World War I, the Depression, Fascism, the Holocaust and capped it off by bringing the entire planet to the brink of destruction in the Cuban Missile Crisis. At that point a decision was taken to step back in again before you did something that even we couldn't fix. You don't have free will, David. You have the appearance of free will.
