Henry and Claire meet at the library when Henry is 28 and Claire is 20, this present Henry has no idea who Claire is, since the one that met Claire in her childhood was older Henry, so Claire tells him the story. Soon, they get married and Henry is suddenly disappearing before the ceremony, but the older Henry shows up. The couple later finds up that Claire is having trouble carrying a pregnancy due to Henry’s gene disorder. After six miscarriages, Alba is born. Unlike her father, Alba can control where she wanted to go. Before Alba born, Henry is time travelling to the future and meet 5 year old Alba, and finds that he’ll die at 43.

Comments:

I like to book very much. It’s the kind of romance book that you won’t like to put off before it finishes ^_^. Anyway, the film was not that fascinating. Don’t get me wrong, I love drama, and mostly I watch drama, but when I saw this film, I just feel very bored. They adapted mostly from the book, but somehow it felt plain and boring. The relationship between Henry and Claire was not as strong as the book.. Oh well, anyway, it is hard to make a film from a bestseller book, mostly I’ll be disappointed, so I’ll just deal with that.

Fun Facts:

• Adrien Brody was the first choice of the writer to play Henry (they should use him)
