As you probably can tell I mostly like action movies, but every now and again I branch out and watch something different. I was looking for a movie to watch for this week and I ended up watching “The Time Traveler’s Wife.” I do not watch a lot of love stories because I find them to be predictable. Boy meets girl, there is some kind of conflict preventing them from being together, and then in the end they fall into each other’s arms and live happily ever after. I am sure there are some stories that are different but most end up like that. I found this movie to be very interesting. The story is about a man that can travels through time at random to different parts of his life. In his travels he meets his future wife when she is a little girl and at other times in her life. Since he cannot control when he travels through time it puts a strain on their relationship as his wife tries to deal with the circumstances. She has to deal with him time traveling during their wedding as well as seeing his future self dying on the floor in front of her. This movie was a very well thought out love story and I think even those who do not like love stories should give this one a try.
*I give “The Time Traveler’s Wife” 8 out of 10*
I am happy you chose this movie! I won't watch a movie until I have read the book and I read the book this summer and it was amazing!!! I can't believe the movie was THAT good! Now I am so excited to watch it. So...if you think the movie is that good, then I really recommend reading the book! It's a page turner. I think I read it in two days! It is so good and now I can not wait to watch the movie :)
ReplyDeleteI also don't really like the typical love stories that you were describing, they get pretty boring. I thought this movie did a good job of not doing that too, especially the way they ended it.I liked the fact that the movie had its sad parts, it made it more interesting. To the person who commented above be aware that the book was a lot different from the movie and in my opinion better.
