Thanks for the memories!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The acting in this movie is really good.
I have seen this Film several times !! If i could go back in time, besides for the lotto numbers and Sports Scores, I would Love to have been at the filming of the Court Room scenes from "A Few Good Men". Also, Rachel McAdams is a Great Kisser !
I just watched this movie again, as I do periodically, and each time I am still amazed by the brilliant screen play of Bruce Joel Rubin and the phenomenal performances by Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams! In fact, the casting, production, and performances by all of the actors are extraordinary! If you haven't seen this yet, you must. Although the idea of time traveling may seem ridiculous to some, the story told here and the way it is told is timeless! I dared to dream, I cried, I was touched in the depths of my soul on so many levels. I never tire of watching this one. I would not have believed that a subject such as this could be explored in such a beautiful way. Kudos to all those involved!
It's totally and literally mind-blowing time traveling story, I just saw it yesterday as a recommendation of one of my friends. Actually after I saw the movie "Predestination" I was looking for another unique time traveling story for the usual time traveling materials are no more trends.At the beginning you'll feel it's a normal story till you'll be hit by the first unusual fact (The time traveler knows nothing about what will happen) when he met Clare in the library and didn't recognize her however she stated the facts to him. And this is basically the other way around of any other story.You'll be surprised too in the wedding scene where the "Young Henry" disappears leaving his clothes as usual and the older version of him will show with his Grey hair (which was the version she mentioned several times before) and this was obvious in her eyes while approaching him. At the same night you'll be surprised that when Henry left the ceremony traveling back in time he found himself for the first time in the woods in front of the very young version of Clare "5 years old"Moving forward to a very sophisticated scene when they all saw the older version of Henry lying on the floor shot in the belly!! How come all of them saw that? And why? Also it's the first time for Henry seeing the older version! Also when she met "Young Henry" and she got pregnant, It was the first time for her to meet the younger version after both of her and Henry became older and he made the sterilization.The scene when a young kid "Alba" stared at them smiling while they passed through her was so touching (If you'll go for watching the movie again). Also when he met her "Alba" his daughter in the Zoo in the future while she's 10 and he knew that he'll die on her fifth birthday seems kinda normal however you'll be over-thinking how will he be shot? and who will do that? And while thinking of all that you'll get distracted by the scene of older "Alba" walking in the garden with her younger version on her 5th birthday morning informing her that Henry will die soon. After the happening has happened and Clare became a widow you'll thought that's the end but NO!!Apparently he prepared himself well for after death and paid them some future visits and this appears in the final scene after asking Alba how old is she today and she answered 9 he mentioned to Clare that "I left you and Alba is just born", Also he told Clare not to spend all her life waiting for he know they will reach an ending point someday.Honestly this is a piece of art, one of a kind material. I watched the movie two times and I'll believe later on I'll watch it again and again for it rings a hidden bell in my soul
With the exception of my bathroom mirror, I've never seen a naked man put on clothes this many times in my life. Luckily, none of my own incidences involved little girls lurking around.While The Time Traveler's Wife was well shot, had a decent score and an original take on time travel, the movie had some major flaws. Bad acting – mostly by the young daughter, misuse of a good concept, huge plot holes and suggested pedophilia were just a few examples. But nothing beats the worst of all faults Zero chemistry.The entire film centered around two actors who not only looked like they were reading lines from a script, but also were acting towards a green screen and were hoping their ideal mates would be digitally inserted in post. Never once did I feel a connection between the two "soul-mates," and because of this, I could never get behind them or feel any of their anguish. It didn't help that they were just going through the motions of a typical Nicholas Sparks sob story. So, events happened, dialogue was spoken and I still just felt the pain of the miscast leads who clearly wished the other was replaced. Not to mention, while the thought of some kind of life-long love might have seemed pure to the author, it was just so damned creepy when this naked man would stalk either his future wife as a child or his own child later on. No heart, no soul, no surprises No need to waste your time as I did. Especially since I can't go back in time to warn myself.
