The Time Traveler's Wife.


This movie is simply just superrr-dee-duper! And those of you who have yet watched it, shoo on to the cinema now. Haha. Unpaid publicity.
*gosh!*

I first heard of it on radio, but paid no attention to it. Then Yam came along and said it was wayyy better than she expected.
It was a movie day (for us), and we had no particular show in mind that we crave for. Michael Jackson: This is it, was gonna have to wait. The road is clear for The Time Traveler's Wife!

When it started, I thought it was gonna be JUST another romance movie, where they all live happily ever after. Bla bla bla. Boring, I know.
But little did I know, I was the one hoping that it is just another movie with happy ending towards the end. (Oops, spoiler alert!!)
I would've wept uncontrollably if the ending scene was to be just a fraction longer. *sobz*

Well, here's the thing. I didn't get to the cinema on time for the commercials, so I was a little lost at the beginning. (Haha. YES! It meant I was late for the movie! Gosh!)

Fortunately, it didn't take long before the plot sets in. Lucky for me, I came across the book in the bookstore earlier. So, I did have a look at the short synopsis behind it. :)
And yes again, it meant we didn't know what we were up for when we purchased the movie passes. =p

Before you watch this movie, you'd better be prepared and know what's coming your way. So, here, I'm giving you some help! Hahaha.
Lemme extract what I read from the back of the book. Lemme think...think.

So, Clare met Henry when she was 6 and he was over 30. That was the first time she met him. Henry met Clare when he was 28 and she was 20. That's the first time ever he met her. She knew everything about him, while he doesn't know her.

It sounded weird, but that's how the story goes. An incredible love story to make you really struggle to believe it alive. It makes you wonder more, wanting to know more.
But the ending was too heart-wrenching. I heard that the book has a different ending to it. The book is the next that I'm gonna buy, and hopefully to finish reading in the very near future.

Oh, one advice, tuck your rationale-seeking self to a corner when you watch this movie. Enjoy! *winks*
