With every love story I watch on the big screen, I find many familiar elements and romantic streaks that leave viewers of all ages with numerous feelings. Be it a fairy tale classic or a modern-day romantic comedy, films with originality last longer than the makers even had imagined. The new “About Time” promises a sweet love story with uniqueness in storytelling.
So just think, if you could ever travel in time what would you do: Get rich? Try and win over the boy or girl of your dreams. Relive the moments that mean most to you. Well, many things you may think of but how about the second option – I just mentioned here? So, here is the story when a young 21-year-old Tim with special ability goes back to a recent time to win over a girl.
About Time movie synopsis
Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) gets to know about an incredible family secret from his dad (played by Bill Nighy) that all the men in his family have this special ability to relive their past. They can revisit any moment in their lives to try things differently until they get them perfectly right.
Tim decides to use his special skill to win the heart of the beautiful Mary (Rachel McAdams) but encounters many hurdles to be sure of one fact the path of true love can be hilariously difficult – no matter how hard you try. And even at times, when everything seems to be all right, an unfortunate twist in time means that he never met Mary at all.
While his unique gift might just help him find true love, Tim discovers that it can’t save him from the ups and downs that life brings to everyone. In the end, he finds that making the most of love and life will mean giving up the past and living for the moment.
Writer Richard Curtis of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Love Actually, and The Boat That Rocked, is back with this romantic comedy science fiction film “About Time”. Interestingly, probably many may not have noticed that Curtis has co-written the screenplay of the movie War Horse.
