This movie is very old, and now the theme of time travel is very popular, most of which are modern people who travel to ancient times, where can they be like a duck to water with the knowledge or objects of modern people. The male protagonist in this movie travels from the past to the future. Although he doesn't understand anything, he has never seen a phone, TV, car, etc., but he is only uncomfortable for a short period of time, but with his own charm In a week, he conquered everyone who saw him, of course, the main heroine. As a strong woman in business, she abandoned everything in modern times, including the promotion opportunity she just got, and resolutely went back to the past to follow the hero.
His charm lies in the slow pace of life in the era he lived in, and the helplessness of life, but there is not so much pressure, competition, and deception. Because of his natural attitude to life, we can see from his eyes that the improvement of our technological civilization has brought a lot of convenience to our lives, but it has to make our lives boring.
When a thief grabbed Kate's bag, he rode on a white horse and chased Kate all the way to help her get the bag back. When Kate's boss pursued Kate to brag about her, he embarrassed him on the spot and ruined the atmosphere. On the second day, she prepared a romantic dinner for Kate in her own unique way. When he taught Kate's brother how to really pursue his girlfriend with heart. When he found out that the advertisement he made was just a lie, he left angrily, but completed the work for Kate's career. He is so polite no matter the occasion, his details always seem out of tune with the modern, but not annoying, but let everyone sincerely attract.
I was also moved by him in the movie. His erudition and demeanor are natural, and in the eyes of modern people, the general seriousness is the way we should live. We cannot go back in time, but our way of life can still be changed.
Watching this old movie in the 21st century is still moved by him. We don't have to care about the scientific logic at all, it's useless to argue about them, this is a romantic comedy, right? Even today's science fiction movies still have logically inexplicable places. Let's focus on what the director is really trying to tell us.
