1/2 Price Tuesdays



I have been waiting to see this film ever since I watched the trailer! I set my heart to see it and I'm so glad that I did. For those of you who know me, I'm a lover of the cinema and theatre! I love any form of performance but for me the movies is my ultimate favourite. I love that whole experience being immersed into another world. I enjoy having feelings and emotions bestowed upon me, not with in my control. For me it's like a taste of freedom to be someone else, to feel the unfamiliar. If you know what i mean then, let me get an AMEN!!!!!!!!
Anyway back to what i wanted to say, lol, I saw the movie at 'The Coronet Cinema' in Notting Hill. It was '1/2 price tuesdays' (you know I likes me bargins) lol, so all tickets were only £3.50, but there are only 2 movies to pick from. That's why they think that they're so smart!

Any way, continuing slowly............ I saw the movie and Loved it! Although it felt that more work could have been done to the end but I'm an 'old skool' romantic! I love the way he proposed to her. She woke up to him watching her sleep, with a diamond ring he had put on her finger moments before. It was so sweet and simple. The movie is basically about a man who has a condition which causes him to time travel, a power not with in his own control, like when he disappeared on their wedding night, just as they were jumping on the bed in blissful happyness! But it basically follows all the trials and tribulations that she struggles with, as he can disappear for 10 minutes, maybe 2 weeks and all she does is patiently 'WAIT'! A lot of other stuff happens, but i wont spoil it.

There was only one thing wrong with this movie..................................It's that would he life have ever been the same if he didn't tell her when he was coming back!? She first met him when she was a child and he was in his 30's, but he first met her when she was in adult and both were in their 20's. Meeting her trigged his power to travel back to when she was young as she became a significant figure in his life, as he would often return to the same places, but just different years. But he always told her when he would come back to see her and she waited for him. But at the tender age of 18, she experienced her first kiss with this older man. But from a young age he loved her as he loved her in the further. She knew that some time in the furture that they would be married but did she ever have a chance to find love some where else? How would it feel to have some one love you and have them tell you that you love them too, before you can even experience it for yourself. Is it the magical mixture of time travel and love? Or, is it a form of grooming?! Just look at the contrast of the current movie poster and the original cover of the book!

I shall leave you with your own thoughts!
