Nearly cried reading this, but I'll save the tears for when I watch this because it's pretty easy to drop a few on stories like this.
In my mind, I thought of how this seemed like a proxy exploration of the curse of immortality, given how he could move through various times, gaining different experiences and the pain of it all.
Surely, that's not immortality in a traditional sense, but I feel it's a close enough representation of what it would feel like living long years to experience different times and pains of many generations.
If we could travel through time to the past or future, our psychological framework would be profoundly altered, as we’d carry real memories of what was, what never was, and what could have been.
But the most heart-wrenching part: we could see loved ones who are no longer here again. Talk to them 🥹❤️🔥. Thank you for your comment.Yes, @malopie. The film is truly astonishing in the way you describe. To relive and re-feel, but through a modified experience—because the time traveler has changed, both in physical and mental age, in knowledge of what lies ahead.
