When watching this movie, I remembered the opposite problem in doing math problems when I was a child. Two trains, A and B, depart from A and B respectively and travel in the opposite direction. Knowing the speed and length of the two trains A and B, how long is the staggered time between A and B when they meet each other? We can expand this question and substitute Nanshan Gaoshou and Fushou Aimei. Assuming that the length of the two cars AB is the length of their lives, and each car is an age group, then in the time they all meet, there are only 20 The year-old car can be matched to overlap, and the overlap time is 30 days.

At first, I thought that the core of this film can completely ignore the setting of the time line that goes in the opposite direction, and it can be refined into: If you know that you can only fall in love with the person you like for a short period of time, you will still be willing to Start with TA? Because I think of a Korean drama: "Nine Time Travel". In the play, when Dae Sunwoo finally collapsed in a narrow phone booth 20 years ago with serious injuries, he said to young Zhou Minying, "Remember, when you grow up, you meet people who look like me. , to hide away." It was precisely because he loved the heroine deeply and remembered every moment of love that Da Shanyu chose to keep Zhou Minying away from himself who would meet in the future, but the little boy who knew nothing Zhou Minying still fell in love with Da Shanyu when she grew up and forgot the warning of her uncle who fell in a pool of blood when she was a child. So when I just watched this film, I was thinking, why didn't Nanshan Gao Shou and Fu Shou Aimi choose to give advice to each other in the past like Da Shan Woo did? Don't want to change each other's future? After thinking about it again, in fact, the setting of this film and "Nine Time Travel" are completely different, so it is not a question of choosing whether to meet or not. In "Nine Time Travel", the future can be changed because of changes in the past, but in the setting of this film, the time line will not change, so the 35-year-old I will definitely save the 5-year-old you, Then I'll tell you when you're 15 what I've been through with you at 20, and when you're 20, I'll tell you what I mean by the past, which is your future. This is a time and space crossing that forms a fixed cycle before and after, and it is a fatalism that is already predestined for everything. He is a bit like the setting in "Arrival: The Story of Your Life". Even if I know everything that will happen in the future, I will still go down the route of my destiny, meet you, fall in love with you, and then meet you without revealing Farewell timidly.

If every point in our life is arranged in advance, how do we go through this road with a peaceful heart, this should be the question that this film can make us think about. In the fifth episode of "A Dream of Red Mansions", the young Jia Baoyu read all the life judgments of the girls in the family, but he found it boring and put it aside, causing Fairy Jinghuan to sigh: "The idiot has not yet realized it!" This passage can inspire people, you see, even if I tell you what happened in life, when you have not experienced it, the future is still the future for you, and your heart will not have love because of foreknowledge, until When you actually touch that person in the future and your heart is beating non-stop, you will sigh with emotion: Ah! Turns out I really love him! On the first day that Nanshan Gaoshou met Fushou Aimei, which was the last day of Fushou Aimi and Nanshan Gaoshou dating, Nanshan Gaoshou was immersed in the excitement of falling in love at first sight, while Fushou Aimi had already passed the entire time they met. In time, she fell deeply in love with Nanshan Gao Shou, and at the last moment was moved by Nan Shan Gao Shou's deep affection for the future, but he still had no hesitation. At the end of being staggered from each other, both parties felt the pain caused by love, but our established timeline was warmed by it.

In this film, God set the encounter between the two worlds and the fate of the two protagonists. Although this setting is not rigorous and clever, as long as we accept this setting, we can still feel some warmth. I really like a passage in "Arrival: The Story of Your Life", and it is also a suitable annotation for this film: "...if I already knew the future, I would not be able to rebel against this established destiny, and It’s impossible to tell other people what I know about the future — it’s also a form of rebellion. Those who know the future don’t talk about the future, and those who read the Book of Years won’t admit to having read it.”

So, no matter the past or the future, we will love each other in this moment. Then, in our respective futures, we can face each other peacefully in the past, and then calmly watch the young each other move towards the future that will love us.
