Time Traveler's Wife, The / P. S. I Love You / Lake House, The (BD) (3FE) [Blu-ray]

I first seen this movie when it came out & no matter how times I watch it, I never get tired of seeing it. I still cry every time 🥹 Rachel McAdams has been my favorite female actress since I was a teenager (I’m 35 now) & I love every role she plays 🖤This movie actually influenced my life without me realizing it. Like I’d fall in love with a time traveler too if I was her but then I made sure growing up that I married a man who doesn’t work a kind of job where he wouldn’t be home with me every night lol I knew I could never handle the heartache Clare went thru, never knowing when she’d see her husband again or how long she had with him. Like I literally refused to go on a date with any man in the military because I didn’t want any type of life like that. I have attachment issues lol this movie probably saved me from ending up in a relationship that I wouldn’t be happy in. I don’t spend any nights without my husband & I’ve been with him 8 years. I lived in the day I met him lol 🥹

Good movie

Good DVD, good price, what's not to like?

One of my all time favorite movies. I can't wait to get another as I lost mine.

This is a nicely done film, acted beautifully, photographed with subtle brilliance and edited with a tenderness reserved for bathing an infant. "The Time Traveler's Wife" was a well regarded novel and brilliantly written. Having read the novel first, the movie was a slight let down; nothing could be placed beside Audrey Niffeneger's novel and come out an equal. The subject of time travel is a well visited topic from H.G. Wells to Stephen King, but it is only Niffeneger who has managed to create a plausible frame of time travel and then have it be the white canvas on which a remarkable story is created.The film is by Robert Schwentke, a well respected film maker, and well known. In two hours he tells the story of Henry and Clare. Clare is played by Rachel McAdams, who has prepared this role with an Oscar level proffesionalism. Henry is played by Australian actor (with a flawless American accent) Eric Bana. At age six, Henry survives a car accident that kills his mother. It also triggers a neurological malfunction which causes him to jump time-only within the span of his life- with no warning and no control. He meets and falls in love with Clare. Though because her time is linear and his is not, an already deeply in love Clare sees Henry in a library and overwhelms him with the thrill of finally seeing him. She knows him because he has been visiting her since she was six, helping to guide her, so she is ready and waiting for him. Henry knows things about their future and tries his best to protect Clare, but Henry's life is hard and frustrating, always anxious to get back to her. The editing, make-up and acting through their wedding is remarkable. In that one day we see Henry as young as 23 and as old as 41. When Henry goes, leaving Clare to wait, sometimes for years, his clothing remains behind, losing shape and weeping to the floor. It's a visual that beautifully reflects the let down that Clare feels. Henry appears, naked, at another time, in all kinds of weather, immediately facing the challenges of being an outlaw.When they have a child (who has inherited this genetic code but has more control over it) Henry takes her aside and quietly tea hes her to cope- from lock picking to how to learn WHEN she is. No more details are needed except to tell you this is a story about the challenges involved in a relationship. There are both disadvantages and advantages to this malady and they are explored without taking away from the purpose of the film: love.Some may call this a "date movie" but their eye isn't as good as mine. There are details to this film that put it on a level far above a "chick flick" or a "sci-fi geek" film, despite having elements of both.The film score by Mychael Danna, is glorified in the hands of Nicholas Dodd, who did the orchestrations and conducted. The music is used to maintain a thread of story line when Henry jumps from 1987 to 2002; then musical idony and foreshadowing is clever and abundant. Again, many won't notice the music.An autumn pasture is an integral setting and the colors of that set are used through the film, like a painting.This is a subtle film and well made so the millions of remarkable details blend together to wash over us and gently lead us along with the story. It works: at no time do we wonder, "How did they DO that?" or, "Great make up cause three seconds ago he had no gray hair and wasbclean shaven". Nothing is overdone so nothing breaks the spell.Is this a remarkable piece of art? No. But we don't always want to see "The Hours" or "Silence of The Lambs" or "Sophie's Choice." Sometimes we want to be able to converse without a lump in the throat or a recurring image of a dry well in a basement. Buy the film. You do need to seek out the details and enjot the discoveries that multiple viewings will bring.
