Naked man travels time

I watched The Time Traveler's Wife.

Recently, there has been quite a few good films going on at the same time... but I have only one head and my brain needs rest. Missed out quite a few good ones, e.g. 9, Orphan, etc. Hope I'll get a chance to see those on DVDs.

Adeline found the movie slow. I have no comment, the pace suits me fine... perhaps after a busy afternoon filing, I have nothing to complain about relaxing in the cinema. I have never read the book, though I heard so much about it. I came to watch it without reading the synopsis or anything... because I wanted to see where it'd bring or take me to.

Like a lot of tragic romance movies, I found the plot a little similar - perhaps from a mixture of other films. Yet so compelling. I saw him came and left... appeared and disappeared. That kind of genetic disorder which is quite impossible to imagine in reality, what if, I asked myself what if it does happen? Someone who is able to travel between time, isn't that like immortality?? He in his past can travel to the future, and he can go back to the past. After he's dead, his past is still alive?

And the wife, a woman who can love a man who can't promise to be by her side all the time wholeheartedly. To have loved and lost, and to cherish the time being together than not having it at all... My "hopelessly romantic" ideal tells me I'd rather be like her. Isn't that way better than falling in love with ten wrong men? Somehow I do like the part that their daughter time travels too, and the scene where she meets her "deceased" dad who has traveled from the past. I don't understand too why he has to be naked when he travels...! Though that convincingly makes others believe that he has magically vanished leaving behind a pile of clothes.

I wish the movie could be longer... I wish they would have something out of the blue that would have surprised me. I like the show... but somehow, it isn't exceptional. It's time to read the book!

Verdict: 3.5/5
