An emotional appetizer dressed in science fiction

It must be stated in advance that if you are rushing to see high-tech special effects and adventures after traveling through time, then this film is not for you, because there are no such things here. Therefore, in a stricter sense, this should be an emotional sketch dressed in science fiction.

A negative and lonely female intern went to interview a weird person who claims to be looking for a time travel partner... There are already characters with needs and defects, with a time travel direction full of challenges and unknown excitement, and a good story is about to come out. However...

the reason why many things in the world can be said is that there will always be "however" here. But here is: the whole story always regards time travel as one of the biggest suspense or "hooks", tightly tied our eyes, pressed us on the chairs, full of anticipation, followed the protagonist nervously, slowly Tun Tun prepared, extremely boring or even crazy imagination, muttering in his heart, when will they go back to the past? Can it work? However, in this process (here there is another "however"), all the focus of this film is used on the "various efforts of the characters trying to retrieve the fond memories of the past". We will be imperceptibly driven by the characters, to secretly recall the best moment in our life journey. Sometimes, a person can have good memories in his hands in his entire life, which is a very beautiful thing in itself. I think everyone will agree on one thing: In order to regain the lost beauty, even if it is a little crazy, what can't it do? I have always felt that people who go all out for a simple goal will always be dazzled by positive energy. When you stare at them, you will either be moved and shed tears, or else It is to be stimulated by strong light and shed tears.

Finally, let me list some sporadic feelings of nagging briefly.

First, I really like the scene where the heroine goes to help the actor give money to the old black man. In fact, it is easy to think that the old black man does not believe in the time travel theory of the male protagonist, and his own wife is seriously ill. Before starting the time travel, the actor evaded heavy tracking and asked the heroine to give his savings to the old man. Only then did the old man's desire to speak and stop: my wife is already...blablabla... Because if the old man believes in time travel and his wife is dead again, he should actively ask to go back to the past and save his wife with money. But the scene later played a key role, that is, the hero's image was suddenly tall, and the heroine's feelings for the hero were fundamentally changed, and this was the result of the uncontrollable kiss after the wonderful lyrical music in front of the bonfire.

Second, the reporter went to the old lover to relive the old dream, why did not end in a happy ending. In fact, this clue is very clear. The buddy wanted to find his old lover and have another shot, but he didn't expect that he would go to the hall and the kitchen. He is an ideal companion for home travel. Ever since, the buddies impulsively put forward the suggestion of living together after the passion, and the other party was panicked and surprised and said that he could not accept it at once. This buddy got hurt and walked out of the door. In fact, the story goes so far. Whether or not to arrange another happy ending for the lovers is a choice that the screenwriter must make. At this time, the design of the character of the Indian Little Asan clearly gave the answer.

The Indian little Asan of student biology and life science is the kind of nerd we are most familiar with every day. In order to accumulate some social practical experience and apply for research funding, he came to the magazine for internship. In fact, Ah San's heart also longs for the relationship of the opposite sex, but he is weak and inferior, conservative and closed. And when the reporter buddies returned from the old lover's grief and indignation, Xiao Asan naturally became the target of his training. He wanted to take him to go crazy once, and even encourage him to end his virgin career. To be more precise, in fact, all this is a remedy and struggle for reporters who did not grasp the beauty around them when they were young, and led Xiao Asan to do so. To use an analogy we are more familiar with, many parents now insist on imposing their delayed hobbies and studies on their children, whether they are stuffed or forced, that kind of mentality you have to do. In this way, the final marriage between the reporter and the old lover in the film becomes unimportant or only needs to happen after the end of the film's story.

Third, there is actually no specific third. It's a pity that Chinese people always like to summarize one, two and three when they write things and talk. It seems that there are shortcomings without these three chiefs, and I can't avoid them! Then another nag, the actor plays and sings by the bonfire, it's very nice! Ha ha.

    It's not every geek who flashes out the time machine, it's a fart.

    In the end it turned out to be a sci-fi movie, which was unexpectedly good! Another perspective of going back in time, humorous but not entirely lighthearted. What we need most is to cherish the good times in front of us. People will use various methods to "go back in time", find people they once loved, try things they have never tried, and even build time machines like crazy.
