《The Time Traveler’s Wife》-- 穿梭時空的愛戀

如果你的身體如斯輕盈,能夠穿越過去與未來,你會想回到人生的哪一段時光?

改編自同名暢銷小説,《The Time Traveler’s Wife》描述一個因患上罕見基因失調症而會在極度束縛的情況下不定時地穿越時空的男人,無法控制停留的時間和空間的他卻嘗試與他深愛的妻子建立一段穩定關係的浪漫愛情劇。

六嵗那年,男主角Henry(由Eric Bana所飾)在一場交通意外中發現自己擁有穿越時空的能力。在一次的穿梭中,中年的他遇見了小時候的妻子Clare (由Rachel McAdams 所飾),並預知小女孩,他們會在未來成爲好朋友。長大後的Clare有一次在圖書館遇見了年輕時的Henry,他們墜入愛河,最後共結連理。生活雖然幸福美滿,但身為時空穿梭者的妻子只能好好地珍惜每一個當下的時刻,因爲下一秒,眼見的丈夫也許就會消失,然後繼續等待丈夫下一次的出現。

電影中,有幾幕讓我覺得分外感動。年輕時的Henry在一次穿越時空中遇見年輕時的媽媽,他們在地鐵的對話既陌生又親切,雖然無法改變媽媽的命運(媽媽在他小時候的交通意外中喪生),他卻能再一次地以陌生人的姿態告訴媽媽他的生活近況,細細地再看一次媽媽溫柔的臉龐。

因看過Henry在中年死去的模樣,兩夫妻決定要生一個寶寶,但由於胎兒也遺傳了Henry的基因,它會一直躍動,想跳脫媽媽的子宮,導致Clare兩次小產。不讓妻子繼續受到傷害的Henry決定做絕育手術,但Clare卻在遇見年輕Henry的晚上完成了她想要懷孕的決心。寶寶最終健康出世,Henry也如期地在一次穿梭中意外死去,善於穿越時空的他還是不定時地回來看看妻子與女兒。

看這部片子的時候,不期然地想起了《The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button》,一個是逆時的人生,一個是顛覆時間的順序遇見過去或未來的自己及心愛的人,兩者雖無絕對的共同點,但主角們之間的真摯情感讓心不知覺地泛起陣陣漣漪,生命有時候的美好源自我們對愛情的誠實和懂得珍惜事物的感恩。

我們都想預知未來的人生,因爲我們都相信最好的都在未來,當下做不到的,我們相信未來都能做到。如果,如果我能夠有穿越時空的能力,我想回到過去那段懵懂的少年時光,好好地完成當時一些該做的事和重來值得紀念的時刻,讓過去的自己更懂事一點。

几个星期前买了这本小说。。。还没开始读吶!穿梭时空。。。那感觉很奇妙!

這本小說很好看 =)

我比較喜歡看完小說才看電影,可是就因為這樣往往會很失望

p/s: 菲利絲,若你想看可以向我借

有同感。。。我在看twilight前也逼自己要把小说看完才看电影。。。结果真的超失望的!搞到我对new moon没有太大的期望!

大家不妨看一部叫《穿越时空的少女》的日本动漫!故事概念和《The Time Traveler’s Wife》有点像只不过它是描述每个人都会有的年少轻狂。真的不赖!

yeewean,

i feel like buying this book, just now i went to Popular..too bad the book was sold out..hahahaa, the movie is nice, i think the book must be as well nice too.

jiun,

i'm not able to read the book, the movie is about to stop showing, i have no choice but to watch it first.

yeah, it's really kind of you to lend me the book ^^

yee wean,

i felt disappointed too when i watched PS I Love You, the book is really thousand times better than the film,hahahaha. however, i read review online, it said this film has a lot of substantial scenes as depicted in the book, so i think it's worth reading n watching =)

felice said...

hey feiwen,

this movie could make me cry too, as well as the Benjamin Button,perhaps when we grow old, we are easily touched by some sentimental scenes...but certainly, i enjoy the moment when i laugh n cry with the movie ^^

felice said...
