Lovers at the End of Time
Compared to the fantasy setting of "The Wonders of Benjamin Barton", the concept of this movie is also a brain-opening.
But it is obvious that the former is more inclined to the theme of "philosophical life", and the latter tells a dog-blood love story with three views destroyed .
The old lady who lived for 106 years was fascinated by the father and son, and died and came back to life.
All this is because of the car accident many years ago...
The protagonist of the story, Adeline, was originally an ordinary woman.
She grew up like all girls, got married and had children, and lived an ordinary and happy life.
Unexpectedly, because of the accident, her husband died suddenly.
Devastated, Adeline couldn't accept this fact at all.
On the way to her parents' house, she was unfortunately in a car accident, and even someone with the car fell into the river, and her life and death were unknown.
Just five minutes after the opening of the movie, the heroine is game over, how to act?
So, the director thoughtfully arranged a lightning bolt that fell down and activated Adeleine's heart, which had stopped beating.
Here, the film uses a lot of narration to set off the atmosphere.
A serious nonsense line makes people feel as if they have mistakenly entered the set of "Into Science".
Simply put, this ray not only saved Adeline, but also changed her genetic structure.
Her physical state is forever stuck at the moment of 27 years old, and time does not work for her at all.
Being struck by lightning can be young forever, wow, such a divine skill who does not want to have?
But at first, Adeline herself did not know this fact, and it was not until many years later that she began to slowly discover the strangeness.
Going out with my daughter, people are all amazed and exaggerated eyes -
As a woman in her 40s, she looks as young as her own daughter.
Adeline lied that she had used a new cream.
Youth and beauty are a kind of pride and capital for women.
52-year-old Zhou Huimin, 65-year-old Zhao Yazhi, 74-year-old Pan Yingzi, which is not the immortal goddess in the audience's heart?
But when it came to Adeline, it became trouble.
The traffic police stopped her because of the identity information, and the FBI regarded her as an "ageless monster" and was wanted everywhere.
Adeleine searched the medical information and could not figure out what strange disease she had.
In order to protect her daughter and live a peaceful life, Adeline had to move in a panic.
She's like Professor Du in "You from the Stars," changing her identity information, name, address, and even outfit every ten years.
From then on, she was no longer Adeline.
For more than sixty years, no one had ever known Adeleine's secret.
She was always alone, cautious, and kept her distance from anyone.
Because she is well-informed, reads thousands of volumes, is well versed in history, and will also Chinese words, rich connotations, so that she has a temperament and charm beyond appearance.
At the age of 106, she is still a bright and beautiful woman.
People will always live and die, and perhaps immortality is a fortunate thing in the eyes of everyone.
But behind Adeleine's brilliance, the audience can feel another state of immortality -
That's loneliness.
In order to keep this secret, her life has never been slackened or enjoyed.
She had never been a true friend, always alone, a dog, through endless and dark years.
Even the dearest daughter could only grow old in front of her year after year, becoming an old man with white hair.
The wrinkled old lady tells her young and beautiful mother about the helplessness and inconvenience of aging, which is too contrary to the sense of harmony.
Some people may say that it is still so pretentious to make you immortal, and it is the right thing to sleep all the small fresh meat.
Indeed, forty years ago, Adeline had an unforgettable relationship, and the two of them had a wonderful time in the South.
However, Adeline chose to escape when the other party proposed to her.
Saddled with such identities and secrets, there is too much uncertainty about her feelings and future.
Can't you always look like a talented woman now, but after years, it becomes a "father-daughter love" and then becomes a "grandfather-grandson love", right?
"Immortality" is not enough to "grow old together".
Adeline's hesitation and withdrawal made this relationship a lifelong regret in her heart.
Forty years later, Adeline met a man at a party, Ellis.
Amazingly beautiful and temperamental Adeline, Ellis launched a crazy pursuit.
It is reasonable to say that at this time, the 106-year-old Adeline should already have a heart that has gone through vicissitudes and seen through the red dust.
But once love comes, she instantly becomes a little girl with a love brain, suffering from gains and losses, and cannot extricate herself.
The plot of this part is also considered by many people to be one of the bugs of the movie.
With her daughter's encouragement, Adeline decided to go with the flow and accept the relationship.
Just as she and Ellis are coming home to visit their parents, notice that the real dog blood in this film is coming.
Ellis's father was the same man who proposed to Adeline.
Having entered old age, he recognized Adeline at a glance.
Nani?
Falling in love with the son of the ex, this amount of information, simply don't be too explosive!
The undisciplined plot makes many viewers feel that the director wasted this good concept and theme.
The heroine is immortal, travels the world, there must be a lot of insights and adventures, but the plot is obsessed with her love story.
As a result, everyone has focused on Adeleine's fashion outfit that keeps up with the trend.
Indeed, Blake Lively, who plays Adeleine, went from "Summer of Jeans" to "Gossip Girl."
Now, in this movie, it has amazed American society for a hundred years.
Each of her outfits, with their matching, is quite elaborate.
Whether it is retro or trendy, sexy or demure, there are different styles in her.
It is said that when filming this film, she had to change at least 9 costumes a day.
Exquisite makeup, the restoration of costumes of various ages, and the invincible Breck have also become an important reason for the audience to play five stars for the film.
Although the plot is slightly hard, it is good that the film satisfies the audience's aesthetic in terms of painting style.
Moreover, the concept of brain opening also gives an answer to the topic of "immortality" -
If someone can really live forever, it is not necessarily a completely happy thing.
Adeleine's fantastic opening and hanging experience may be something that women dream of.
But if you can't enjoy life, then what is the point of immortality?
The meaning of life never lies in its length, but in its thickness.
Compared to spending time in nothingness and fear, watching relatives and lovers leave them one by one.
Wouldn't it be more wonderful to do what you love and be with someone you love in a limited time?
