The reason why this "myth" of love between two men and women with disparity in circumstances can last forever and become the mainstream style in love movies, perhaps because it can best show the core spirit of romantic movies-the great transcendence of love. Sex is the best way to satisfy the public’s beautiful fantasy about love. “By dealing with these basic complexes of the real society, genre movies establish and respect the mainstream values ​​of society and the public’s psychological aspirations.”
Although the plot of the film is old-fashioned, the depth of the theme is different. It is beyond the reach of other similar works. With the development of the times, the degree of social modernization is getting higher and higher, and people’s material enjoyment is constantly escalating. It is different from a hundred years ago, but in the emotional pursuit, the soul fit, the moral perfection and the spiritual freedom However, it hasn't seen much sublimation or even fall. Today's many office workers are like the heroine Kate of "Love You Through Time and Space". Regardless of whether the career is successful or not, they have to be fully armed to communicate with their superiors and colleagues for life, and make a step-by-step compromise with the reality of life. And retreat, lose yourself in the day-to-day running and hesitation. Deep in the hearts of modern people, longing for innocence, longing for nature, longing for the moment when the true soul is truly relaxed.
The functionalist master Malinowski pointed out in his "On Culture": "All cultural elements directly or indirectly meet the needs of human beings." Therefore, in the narration of film and television dramas, creations are based on the needs of the audience. The reader can imagine based on reality, and then express the imagination perfectly. This found a theoretical basis for the pure narrative of romance films. In romantic films, love stories are of course not a true representation of reality. They are "compression of reality and enhancement of the ordinary. The life and story forms here are extraordinary." In romantic films, the fairy tales are full of colors and beautiful. It weaves a romantic and innocent dream for all audiences. Weave dreams, and make dreams become reality in the play, so that the audience can get surreal satisfaction.
In the final analysis, all movies that depict love affair across time and space all want to express the same belief, that is-true love is eternal. Regardless of time or space, as long as you put aside some real constraints, there is nothing in this world that can hinder the two hearts that truly love each other.

    There were many actresses in the same period but only Meg was abandoned by the times. After watching a few of her movies, I suddenly realized that her performance is the same and the closer you look at it, the more recent it is, it is just like the pseudo-tomboy shape of short hair, wide-leg pants and short hair in several of her movies, which cannot stand the test of time. In contrast, Hugh Jackman's performance is much better, and you can never see the shadow of Wolverine.
