Since today was Quezon City day and that is officially a holiday in QC (Sorry Ortogas and Makati pips), then I decided to just hang out. After going to pep training, I decided to freshen up at the hostel and hang out with my varsity friends. OK, to be exact it was only with Luica. We decided to watch And I Love You So but I managed to persuade her to watch The Time Traveler's Wife.
When we got to Trinoma, obviously there were long lines at the cinema. Good thing most of the people wanted either Up or And I Love You So. After getting tickets, we decided to grab an uber late lunch to take with us to the movie.
I expected the film to be a bit depressing. I have not read the book nor do I have any idea about the story. Suremy expectations were met. While watching, both us were totally quiet and just sat there trying to digest what the film was all about. surely, their relationship was no walk in the park.
Clare married time traveler Henry whom he has known since she was a little girl. Years after, she comes to age and their paths cross again. They get married and struggled to live a normal life. Everything about their setup is far from normal. Not all wives have to deal with the fact that their husband could vanish one day and would have no idea when he'll be back.
With his genetic anomaly, Henry managed to see the both the past and future. It was both a gift and a curse. Imagine having to see how your mother died over and over again or even knowing when and how you will exactly die. Clare tried her best to understand Henry's condition and they managed to make it work.
After the movie, I was on the brink of tears. It left a little pinch on my heart. Henry and Clare's love was real and surpassed a difficult condition. Imagine how heartbreaking it would be to see your dead husband drop by every now and then.
It was a great movie. It made me realize that love will find a way to make a relationship work. People will find a way to be together no matter what.
