Released in 2013, It was time conveys the interest in life to its audience. While Tim learns on his 21st birthday from his father that he can travel to the past, he decides to use this precious gift to repair his love blunders. However, if one thing is certain, it is that time will never force anyone to love you. Richard Curtis, director of Love Actually and producer of Love at first sight in Notting Hill, gives us an intelligent and memorable romance.
A reflection on life
Time flies so fast and so slowly at the same time. It is often said that few people take the time to enjoy every moment, every moment of life. We enjoy ourselves, drawn into a routine where we get up to go to work, and then we go to bed early to go back to work the next day. And, when we happen to go out with family or friends, we complain about work and life. What about moments of joy to share?
It was time to prove to us that going back in time to settle disputes will not make us happy. We understand that this multidimensional power is only an excuse to relive happy moments that we have let slip through our fingers. In the end, what if we took life as it came by welcoming it warmly?
This learning of happiness pushes us to see life differently. The simple moments become more than pleasant: A grimace, a pastry, a smile, a child, the beauty of the place that surrounds us, the softness of our sheets, his skin … While Tim forces himself to live twice every day (once in a banal way, another to spot the simply beautiful moments), he gradually understands that only once is necessary.
Wisdom personified
Pirates of the Caribbean, Love Actually or Underworld. Bill Nighy has left his mark on the screen as well as in our minds through his many acting. He is greeted with a smile in the corner of his mouth and a shining eye in It was time.
Playing Tim's father, Bill Nighy is the perfect embodiment of the wise word. His role suits him so much that he becomes a very endearing character although he is not the main protagonist of the film. His words are realistic, his advice experienced, and his humor subtle. This cool dad has a fusional relationship with his children.
In an interview, he stated that this role marked him and seemed convinced by the soul of the film:
"Try to enjoy everything. Try not to have your day stolen by regrets about yesterday or about tomorrow, and celebrate these so cool ordinary things which in fact are the most important things in your life. »
"Try to enjoy everything. Try not to ruin your daily life because of regrets about yesterday or tomorrow, and celebrate those ordinary but beautiful things, which are ultimately the most important of your life."
Don't miss it!
Of course, it is undeniable that Bill Nighy is not the only pearl of the cast. First, the leading role is in the hands of Domhnall Gleeson. The young man who inherited the incredible gift (like all the men in his family before) is him. Although Tim does not show any madness, it does not bother him, given the kind and hesitant personality of the character. On the other hand, what is not to displease us is the bewitching charm of Margot Robbie in the role of Charlotte, Tim's first love. The latter will soon be in the shadows facing the shy but bubbly Mary, actually Rachel McAdams.
Moreover, failing to make romance the heart of the film, Richard Curtis played a second card that is humor. And for once, it knows a success by its mastery and lightness. Beyond the essence of the film that we have presented to you all too much, It was time seduced by its soft and heady music. Since choosing which music to share is a big decision, the JustFocus editorial team has selected two for you:
For all these reasons, you can't miss this movie. And to choose, many emotions are better than little action?
