Time waits for no-one?

This epic film depicts a complex story of love and it quest to break through boundaries of differences in age, time and knowledge. 'The publication in 2003, Audrey Niffenegger's fantasy romance The Time Traveler's Wife became a US bestselling smash and global book club swoon' - CITED FROM The Guardian : http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/aug/13/the-time-travelers-wife-review

Although I only saw 3/4 of this film, I have to say it has excellent choice of cast, but like most time machine based stories, it loses many viewers in actually believing in the fantasy because things just does not seem to match up and make sense. But luckily the plot carries the film so these mistakes are not so distracting.  

The aim of this adaption of he novel is to challenge the so called obstacles we may face when it comes to who we fall in love with. 

But we are reassured that love conquers all. Time and Time again. Literally.

This scene for me held too many paedo- like connotations for me to watch it comfortably and I strongly believe the story would have survived without this insert. It slightly took away the innocence of the little girl as she appeared to know of things far beyond her years- which didnt suit the actress playing it in my eyes. This however reminds me of the way people responded to the award winning film 'Broke back Mountain' which showed the intimacy and sensitive nature of homosexual relationships in an unexpected timeframe.This subsequently was the reason why so many people flocked to see it. Never mind the plot. So maybe, for the director of the film, it will work to his advantage after all.

Overall impact:

Does the time travel work as a metaphor for our memories of the past and expectations of the future? 

Whatever your answer, I think we can all agree that it is definitely a romantic musing on whether we are always destined to meet The One. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/aug/13/the-time-travelers-wife-review)

And the answer to that is Yes.
