Little Story 249 : About Time (and maybe, books)
2 min readFinal week, I watched “About Time”, a 2013 movie written and directed by Richard Curtis. Not a brand new film, I do know, it was made 10 12 months again and I did not watch it as a result of the poster regarded like some other rom-com out there throughout that point. I used to be improper. It was not one other rom-com, watching it with out figuring out something concerning the film was nice. So if you have not watch it, please watch it earlier than studying additional.

For you that select to not watch it, or already watched it, nicely, it’s a story about Tim and on his twenty first birthday, he came upon that the lads in his household may time-travel, solely to the moments they’ve lived earlier than, and you can also make adjustments with out making a large number within the time-continuum (there isn’t any scientific clarification right here, so it suits me nicely – I do not like sci-fi). So after all Tim use it to have a greater day, higher end result, higher individual.
You need to know what was the factor that I used to be most enthusiastic about within the film ? :
When Tim requested his dad
“What have you ever carried out.. with it?”
and his dad answered:
“Effectively, for me, books, books, books, I’ve learn all the things a person may want to. Twice. Dickens 3 times”.
As a result of IF I’ve the limitless time, I’d spend my days studying all of the books that I need to as nicely. I imply, that’s the most healthful factor I’ve heard about time travelling. Kan ? Do not you assume ? Having the ability to cheat time and repeat the identical time with totally different guide. After I watched the scene I’ve the urge to share it to individuals, as a result of it’s the most nerdiest factor a nerd would do. Ha.
So completely happy.
So many books, so little time. – Frank Zappa
And sure, after all, the conventional uplifting message could be this :
However too many individuals wrote about it already. I need to relate extra to the smallest factor talked about within the film. The fundamental, the conventional day-to-day factor, simply sitting having fun with books with out the necessity to fear about something in the entire broad world.
