Destined love, helpless ending

This is a somewhat impetuous age, people no longer believe in pure love, so this story seems a bit cliché today...
The same love that travels through time and space, the same helpless ending, it seems really a bit cliché.. He was a rookie in drama, and he finally premiered his script when he graduated from college .

Amidst the endless congratulations and encouragement, a lonely old woman walked over and put her hand on his shoulder gently. He turned around in amazement, the old woman said Come back to me, handed him the pocket watch, and then left sadly...

8 years later, he saw a portrait of her in the showroom of an old hotel , the above her smile is so moving, this portrait, in a somewhat dim showroom, actually exudes a charming light, I don't know if this is love at first sight...
He frantically went to find all possible information about her. .. It turns out that she is the owner of the pocket watch 8 years ago!

He is a rookie in play after 70 years, young, full of vigor and vitality, with incomparable curiosity and adventurous spirit. She, a popular actress 70 years ago, is cautious, fragile and sensitive, and is fully armed with her own mind... However, it seems that it was already destined that they fell in love with each other at first sight... I clearly remember that the only time they Date, beach afternoon, when he said something excitedly, the light on her face when she looked at him with a quiet smile... Is this love? What is this feeling like?

Due to the interference of the eccentric manager, their relationship is always cautious and even sneaky... She made a confession to him through the show, I cannot find the words, except fot these, I love you...
He went backstage to visit She is taking pictures but she is always a little stiff. When she saw his appearance, her eyes seemed to have a familiar brilliance, so this smile became the eternal thing in the hotel showroom 70 years later...

They could finally be together without any scruples, she finally forgot all the advice of the weird economic man, they could finally kiss and stare at each other to the fullest, she finally let go of all her defenses and burdens, and planned to use her whole body. She put her heart into it and enjoyed

this love to the fullest. She even asked, "You will marry me, right?" In a way that caught her off guard, she left her cry of surprise and despair... He was lying in the hotel 70 years later, her aftertaste seemed to be on his lips, but it was an insurmountable 70 years.. .She

, alone 70 years ago, read the book about time travel and understood everything, so she began to wait endlessly, waiting for his birth, waiting for his growth, waiting for his college graduation Virgo debut, she , I have been waiting for him for 70 years...
Now he is in front of him, the person he has been waiting for his whole life is in front of him, surrounded by people, celebrating the success of the premiere...
He looks so energetic, as if he has the whole The world... It's
just that this person who she has waited for her whole life has no memory of her...
She stepped forward and gently put the old hand that she had waited with her for 70 years on his shoulder, no Knowing this kind of body temperature is familiar...

He was lying alone in a hotel after 70 years, and suddenly he understood how she felt when she came to him 8 years ago, what kind of waiting, what kind of despair and hope?
After trying in vain to go back again and again, recalling her closeness and tenderness, he finally burst into tears in despair...

He walked 70 years ago again, but it seemed that it was yesterday (in fact, wasn't it yesterday) that they were together Walking on the beach, I came to the showroom again, and saw her charming smile. That smile was actually blooming for myself!

It turned out that she died the night after she handed him the pocket watch, and she completed her wait...
At least, she still had 70 years to wait, but he didn't...


This is a love story destined to end unexpectedly and even heartbroken, but I don't know how it started... Without her Come back to me, there would be no him. Maybe it was just a curiosity-driven time and space shuttle. The encounter with each other, but without this encounter, there would be no waiting for her life, just like the pocket watch left with her that is about to accompany her and wait for a lifetime, it is also a reincarnation...

Sometimes She would seriously think, what would have happened if she hadn't handed over that pocket watch to him 8 years ago after 70 years? Will he become the excellent playwright in his own time and space, and she will be the successful and vulnerable female star in her own time and space all her life? Or maybe he didn't do that curiosity-driven time travel? Maybe, like the butterfly effect, is it best for everyone to let this love never be unsealed?

In fact, this is already a philosophical or cosmological question... It has no meaning, or the meaning is too great for us to answer...

In the face of fate and time and space, people are still very small...
Not to mention, having a period worth waiting for The love of a lifetime is worth it...

This may be the first tragedy I've watched, although my definition of tragedy is a bit non-mainstream (Titanic, Two Little No Guess, Beautiful Life, this killer is not too cold, etc.) It's not a tragedy. To be honest, I am very opposed to the idea that a dead person is a tragedy...), this must be a tragedy... The reunion between him and her in heaven at the end is actually just his own thoughts in despair. The only way out...

Sometimes I think, I'd rather have this story end with a dog tail, or at least let them kiss and say goodbye... In the





end, the music in this movie is really good ...

    Time travel is interesting, the love at first sight is pale, but the shooting and female pig's feet are good, give one more point.

    #Documenthouse#Love is strong, the plot is nonsense, and the logic is non-existent; as soon as Superman was mistaken for life, wouldn’t River tore his shirt to reveal the S logo and solve the problem in minutes; I like the high saturation of the hotel The green chair restaurant is really beautiful; John Barry's soundtrack is brighter than the film; the soft light and blur create a dreamy, subjective shot of the soul ascending to the sky; poor little Arthur's strength steals the spotlight, "I was my idol when I was five years old"
