When you combine a good story, well scripted and delivered by very good actors and then photographed like a painting and finished off with a beautiful music score. For me you have created something that can transport you to another dimension. Thank you for creating that for me. Top marks xx
That's the best critique I've ever read. All the more so because that's the Art, feeding back to the Artist via the audience. I'm sure the crew would be truly thankful.
Hiraeth: An untranslatable Welsh word. A homesickness tinged with grief and sadness, a longing, nostalgia, a pull on the heart that conveys a distinct feeling of missing something irretrievably lost. And for a place that might not even exist. Time travel has been much on my mind for some time. I've lived in Italy for 20 years, but grew up in rural northeastern Connecticut, lived 20 years in NYC, then 12 in Vermont with the most glorious trails for me and my horse. My family owned a modest cottage on the water in Nantucket, long before the billionaires destroyed the island.The most beautiful place I've ever lived. The house is gone now, razed to the ground and replaced by a parking lot. Like the Joni Mitchell song. I loathe technology, except when it allows me to see a brilliant film like this. I often joke about going back to the 50's when telephones were so heavy your could only have 5 minute conversations. Lately I've realized that it's not about going back to the States at all, but about going back to my childhood. I'd never heard of this film. I found it this evening by accident. It resonated so deeply with me. The longing for the happiest time of your life. Or times. What if you could spend one hour in all those places? What if you could really do it?
I must say your post is very insightful and you definitely have a way with words. It felt like I was reading the beginnings of a great novel. Bravo to the thoughts you brought to this post. I resonate with it as well. If I could really do it...I would.
I also remember and long for my childhood days, we didn't have a phone in the 1950... we didn't have electricity. We had a kerosene fridge that you lit a flame under it to coverrt to ice... we had a lamp that Father used to put in fuel of some sort, then press the pump to bring out the light the wick was a white mess bag: No toilet, only outside: little hut... regularly, it was manually dumped into the garden. Walked to and from school daily. Simple...lovely days.

When the old man showed up in the beginning I had an inkling of the ending. I'm 82 & I spent my childhood reading Ray Bradbury, etc. Time travel and its ramifications were all through Mr. Bradbury's beautiful stories. So I had to force myself to finish the movie and it ended as I thought it would. Oh well. Nice settings &lovely music.
This movie was absolutely beautiful. Truly a masterpiece. Great score, great actors wonderful story line. I tried building a time machine when I was a kid. Since the death of my parents when I was 21, I devoted my life to it and I am still attempting it.
So much food for thought. Sadly, he chose a fantasy over reality, when reality was as beautiful as Annie. This movie captures so well the gravity pull of first love and the purity of childhood feelings. I certainly see it in me, but also in so many people around--the deep impressions of our earliest hopes and aspirations. And how the loss of childhood and the attitude towards that loss defines a person and shapes adulthood. ❤🙏❤
I like to think that, as he was only 99% sure about everything, perhaps he did get back to Annie, and life went on in the two different dimensions of time. That is if he was right and all the dimensions and choices exist, like the orange that he said was squashed but it didn't mean that the non-squashed universe didn't still exist.
Hi, I did not understand that in the movie well. He did go in the past to meet Victoria but why he happened to be an old man in the past (and not younger) ? Thanks in advance!
GREAT MOVIE!! Brought back childhood memories. Also stirred up some emotions. I myself have experienced my loved ones torn from my life. To see him go back into time to fond memories was a very emotional moment for me. Very good movie.
One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Down there in the pits with the cult hit "the room". What a terrible waste of time. Acting is crap. Story is beyond predictable. These people would have spent their time better pretending to read the National Enquirer than making this movie.
My God, what a fantastically original movie. This is true screen writing. I haven't enjoyed a movie, and simultaneously cried/laughed so violently since I can remember. It was so wonderful to see a beautifully chosen mother figure, with ideals written in that any mother could aspire to. Truly inspirational art that stands out in the modern age.
@@indyjones1970 I'd have to partially agree with xbzq. It really isn't an original idea for a movie and the script was clunky at times. I'm not disagreeing that you liked it, but if I read your comment as a review and then watched the movie, I'd be let down. Predestination does this concept better imo
As a neutral observer, being neither British nor American, I always find that the British truly outshine the Americans when it comes to fascinating story telling or humour.
Beautiful, the time it was set in, framed the story beautifully. Not filling the screen nor the story itself with contemporary trash it didn't need. Thoughtful and clever with a calm nostalgic feel that drew you in. Loved it :)
Ahhh, the time machine. What a fascinating concept. I was a child when “The Time Machine”, movie came out, in 1960. It totally enveloped me in a spell binding way. No other movie has captured my imagination since, the way that one did. This one was intriguing and a lot less frightening. Bravo!
A work of art, beautiful and very moving. Though I am still trying to figure out how both old and young could appear in the same dimension. I may understand it more when I see it again yesterday!
As time doesn't exist by itself, the way we think about it (well explained in the film) is a time line (arrow of time) but there is no such thing (quantum phisics). There is coexistance of past futur present so we could come in this time with a futur technologie and visit the earth... What we call (may be) aliens... 😊 Everything is possible so why not the possibility to go back as our brain knows the past and reolay it with the knowlege of today but, how our brain can figure the futur to travel toward it... Interesting... A lot to think about😊 have a sweet day
Nonsense. There have always been children who respected their elders, and there have always been children who didn't. Name most anything, good or bad, that kids do or don't do, or that children are or aren't, and there have always been children like that.
Steven, aka. British MacGyver, combines a player piano, some blue food coloring and water, a hola hoop, a bowel of fruit loops, two empty fish bowls, an old-time radio, 4 AA batteries, and a few copper stove pipes to create a time machine. Later, out of giant popsicle sticks he makes a 3D modular sculpture and waltzes through it. His mother and girlfriend have nothing better to do than enable his madness. His second model of a time machine is more streamline, it fits in a suitcase and only requires one fish bowl.
A more cleverly written script would have played around the uncertainty between dreaming, madness, and creative genius. Especially using the idea of folded time. As is, it pretty much misses all its shots and even manages to undercut the significance of its own ending with a joke?
A very pleasant, slow meditation about love and devotion. Great acting and story. It is rather cliché to believe that your first puppy love is the love that you will always yearn to have again
Btw it wasn't that much scientifically correct with reference of 4th dimension but anyhow masterpiece considering the theme, the music score and beautiful representation of screenplay.
I couldn't stop watching. Excellent movie. Very wonderfully scripted with the actors skillfully doing their parts. A fabulous watch. Thank you so much.
@25:20 Victoria was missing for quite a bit of time. The boys were punished, read a book, slept, had a nice breakfast, tossed the ball etc. Where was her mother?
Well, what could one add? If one is to admire something about the whole unlikely story, is its overall elegance. The carefully managed atmosphere gives this unbelievable film a sweet air of remembrance, or should.one say, mythicized remembrance, because the scenes of both 30's and 20's are ones of courteous social relationships, children navigating on a creek, and in general all those things that represent the ideal of the time. As said, the story is full of loops.and obvious technical inaccuracies (a time machine out of a piano, for one😂) but it is a warm, sweet and entertaining film.
If i had seen this movie before I was 10, I would have continued my search to invent time travel. But now it doesn't matter because I have been granted eternity. Delightful film. Not too many scoundrels. Beautifully natured ladies. The dim hope of a dream come true. About sums up life.
Life is all about perception. If you want it to be beautiful, live a kind, caring and loving life cherishing the beauty around you - it is there in your dogs love for you, the flowers in your garden and the moments that you create.
What a truly beautiful film. This is why I love RU-vid. I would have never got to have seen this wonderful film. Has it not been for this channel the acting was first class. The photography was beautiful. Thank you for this gem ❤
I thought the older man, when at the beginning, had mystery to him. I'm glad it worked out for everyone in the matter of choices even the choice of Annie. Lovely and refreshing with just enough tension but not overloading the senses like too many movies do these days.
Extraordinarily beautiful film.the interwoven tapestries of parralel times and dimensions arouses and or piques the curious world of string theory,perhaps a dream,perhaps a collage of realities. Thank you for sharing
Amazing movie! I was distracted and had to watch it in three sittings, but it was well worth it. So touching with a surprise ending! Thanks so much! God bless you for the download of an Excellent movie!
A beautifully written performed, produced and directed film. Wonderful casting, costumes and setting. A truly mesmerising and sad film that got me intrigued. The ending baffled me, but can only guess the two elderly gentlemen had a one-way ticket only, now living to their ripe old age in the dimension they were originally in 15 years earlier. Interesting how Goosy recognised Gander...? Great concept and enjoyable.
Beautifully done!. When it could have been loud an a blight on the senses, it wasnt. Acting great, story intriguing and the ending powerful but subtlety done . Fully rounded fun and satisfying movie to watch. Yay!
I've always loved these types of movies. I guess like many people here we all want to go back to a time when we were happy or a time perhaps when we thought we lived maybe in another life that is still with us today
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
Sadly been there before. Innocently reading books, eating breakfast, and playing. All the while oblivious to the news of the impending heart breaking incident that would change life forever.
Thank you . serendipity at its best for me. Second time around and didnt even know this when i chose this movie to watch after another time travel movie. . What can i say. Just a wonderful movie about love original..
I was hoping after the first young man jumped into the well, that the second young man would stay and marry the young woman. Then a year later two visitors would show up, it would be the first young man and Victoria, married and pregnant. But this ending makes more sense not to alter history so dramatically, but i wish they would have shown us if it worked and Victoria did not go into the well.
That is what I expected without the jump rope she would not go down that hole in the ground. If I had been one of the parents I would had sealed that damn hole to begin with so the children's curiosity would not have gotten the best of them.
This was so good I had to watch it twice. The comments below give all the due credits so it would be pointless trying to replicate or improve upon the. Did anyone notice the children had grown up at the very last scene when the camera rose above the trees? Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us, the movie got the public credit it deserved.
Never seen this before but really enjoyed it, wouldn't it be wonderful to go back and fix things that needed to be fixed, and see all the people we have loved and lost to say things that we have never said when they were living what a thought
Cambridge, England, 1921 - or so it seems. A brilliant young scientist becomes obsessed with finding a way back to his past - no matter what the cost. Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Camilla Rutherford, Patrick Godfrey
So someone please explain this to me please?!! So they were able to go back into time but they could not change it, they could not warn her to not go down into the well. They could only visit, she recognized him, he visited then left but he was also an old man. Hence he saw her again but was an old man??? So she did die. Did they get her body out of the well? Did I miss that in the beginning? I saw the man climb out and the mother threw a wreath into the well which tells me they never found the body as you would have put the wreath on the grave? And what did that man see in the past to come back naked and want to shoot himself? in the end as old men was he with the girl in the present?
Yeah, I didn’t understand that part about the funeral being at the well and that only a small object was shown to her mother to believe she had been drowned in the well. But then why was her body not pulled out of the well for a proper burial? She was just left to rot there? I dunno. It leads me to think something else was being said here. So I think the well must have represented time travel since her body wasn’t there anymore. Otherwise, it would have been pulled out of the well as we are shown could have been possible because of how the men (search and rescue guy and Gander) were able to travel all the way to the bottom of the well and still were able to climb out of it without any help from others. Note how the ladder kind of represented a dna strand, as another commenter noted in this comment section; and when lit up at the bottom of it, time travel was possible. As a result, it seems to me that the object of the whole invention for time travel was to keep Victoria from “jumping” (with the folded over futuristic jumprope where the time travel later was to take place at the bottom of the well in the water) through time. Hmm. Interestingly, my name’s Victoria…🧐 Thus, what I’m gathering is that Victoria was a time traveler. Her loved ones missed her. Those who had attempted time travel after her had just ended up mad, which is what a lot of people say happens to those who claim to be part of government time travel experiments in real life. The “well” was symbolic for her personal portal that she inherently had through her own “jumprope” while one of the young men tried to destroy her means to use it by symbolically throwing away her ability to jump through time. She went and retrieved what rightfully belonged to her, but it meant forever time traveling and not returning to her time. Somehow the Victoria character knew about Gander’s plot to take away her jumping ability (by his confiscating her jumprope at the end of the movie) to travel through time but allowed it for the sake of her loved ones as pointed out by her knowing who the old man was at the end of the movie. I could easily be way off. But the many gaps in the story, like what in the world happened to her body and what was the point of the futuristic nylon and plastic “jumprope” and the time traveling man going mad while the others didn’t, need explaining. And I suppose this reply was just my way of sorting through it all in my head in order to make sense of the story. I guess maybe we’ll see someday at the end when all is finally said and done.
What a wonderful movie. I needed to see something like this instead of my usual horror that has no “life” impact on me and my souls what so ever. I want to be the ones going back, I want to be with my father before he passed…the father I obviously knew but do not recall. I just want one change to tell him I love him and ask him to listen out for me calling his name so he can give me a sign he’s there. Thankyou for uploading this treat, I’m now quite teary. But…thankyou 🩵
I feel the same as many have already written that this is a wonderful & magical movie. After being hit with the pandemic & hearing of innocent Ukrainians being slathered, I needed something with a bit of mystical magic. Thank you so much!!!
Lets put right word to right situation, Palestinians are being slatherred because the world do NOTHING and they CAN NOT defend themselves. Ukraine at least have the ability to defend themselves, so at least that is more fair in ability to fight back. Palestine have NOTHING. Big difference. Put right word to things , please. Seriously
@@claesruth8387 OMG, I have so many Palestinian friends & always write this AND what is happening in Syria & the starvation in Yemen. Trump, with ease, handed Jerusalem to the Israelis. I was chocking on that. I live in the middle of the Navajo Nation but met 2 young Israelis who said, "They were supposed to share the land with us." But since they didn't... What? Took it all over? There's one more thing I wanted to write but I'm afraid of getting in trouble. I'm right 👍 with you!
That’s exactly what I’m trying to find.. I’ve been searching and searching and can’t seem to find it. As I’m watching the movie right now. Great movie so far. ! 🙂
When we wake up we're just in a bed. Then we start our daydreams, that conclude when we again fall asleep, and during sleep forget who we are in our day to day life. Altogether then, the Vedas confirm that the worldly life is illusory, transitory, and ephemeral, both in dreaming and on so-called being awake.
A missed opportunity. Great actors, beautiful settings but this movie chased its own tail, got bogged down, lost it's way altogether and spoiled the magical and interesting aspects it might otherwise have had. The concept is always wonderful but the ending was just a plain silly thing, designed to be clever but not, and I would otherwise have thought it was no problem, that possibly its target age was young family going to the movies together, however, for some bizarre reason the film maker decided that someone shooting his brains out in the nude and a mess of congealed blood beneath him - amidst a movie that just left you alone to that point - was his idea of a good idea. That made it 'not for children', then for who... because the plot had so many silly holes in it that they were deeper than the well. Side note: skipping ropes were hand made back then, the handles of wood and the rope was certainly not nylon or synthetic. Yet he finds it intact 15 years later although it had sat in water. Man climbs out of well and sits completely dry. I could go on but the worst of it is the very theory he was trying to prove was obviously not something he believed in, in the slightest or he would have gone on to a happy 'present' and been assured that somewhere in the millions of possibilities, all would have been as he wished.
I find myself in a rather peculiar state - this weekend, I've completely submerged myself in the enchanting realm of an overarching time-travel movie theme. Exploring the twists and turns of temporal narratives has added a unique and captivating dimension to my cinematic experience.
