"Immortality" is far better than "growing old together".
Immortality is the dream of many people, and people with conditions from ancient times to the present have tried everything to achieve this dream. What's cooler than immortality? That is the "frozen age", always maintained in the most attractive moment.
However, one day, the "frozen age" was really realized, and I am afraid that it is not necessarily a good thing. The movie "Lover at the End of Time" tells such a story: Adeline "frozen age" because of an accident, although the age continues to increase, but the appearance has been maintained at 27 years old, even at the age of 107, it is still 27 years old. But such a "frozen age" did not bring her happiness, but brought a lot of troubles and misfortunes.
【Adeline's 107-year-old appearance】
Adeline was born on New Year's Day 1908. As an adult, she grew into a beautiful woman, married an engineer and had a daughter, and the family of three lived happily together.

However, the good times did not last long, Adeline's husband died unexpectedly, and Adeline also had a car accident. The blood of the dog is this: Adeline has never aged after nine deaths in this car accident, and her age is forever fixed at 27 years old.
Why is that? In the movie, it is explained solemnly: after the car accident, Adeline was struck by lightning, and the lightning crack formed the effect of an electric shock, which made her youth forever.
In this way, Adeline survived the accident and lived for more than 80 years. In these 80 years, the eternal residence of youth has brought her all kinds of troubles.
First of all, she looks younger than her own daughter, especially in the back, the daughter is like an old lady, and she is still a 27-year-old beauty, which is difficult to explain after meeting acquaintances, so she moves once in a while, escaping from everyone's strange eyes.

Secondly, in order to escape to a new place and start from scratch, she found someone to apply for a fake certificate, which led to the FBI tracking him down, encountering the traffic police to check the driver's license, and the explanation was not clear.
Of course, what is more serious is psychological loneliness. She is a beautiful, intelligent girl, no matter where she goes, she will become the object of men's attention and pursuit, she will indeed meet elegant, handsome and attractive men, but in order not to let them discover their secrets, she can only escape again and again.
[The Man Abandoned After Adeline Escapes]
Until one day, Adeline met a handsome guy again: Ellis, Ellis was tall and handsome, rich and intelligent, and simply walking ecstasy. Adeline did have feelings for him too, and they soon had a relationship.

But after dating for a while, Adeline also had to leave him, because she had been living in this place for 10 years and needed to start a new life in another place, otherwise all kinds of troubles would be found, and she would be caught doing scientific research.
Another character emerges in the process: Ellis's father, an old man in his 60s, who is about to celebrate his 40th wedding anniversary with his wife.

The wrong thing is that Ellis's father is the same guy Adeline dumped 40 years ago, and in order to escape from life at that time, Adeline did not say goodbye, and this guy still remembers Adeline even though he is 60 years old. A beautiful woman in her 100s charmed both father and son, magical isn't it magical?
Later, Ellis's father discovers the secret of Adeline's "immortality", and he pleads with Adalyn not to run away, giving Ellis a chance and giving himself a chance. At the same time, Adeline's daughter also advised Adeline not to flee anymore and to accept happiness bravely.
Adeline herself figured it out, and she was ready not to flee again, to accept the advice of those around her, and to bravely enjoy happiness. However, at this time, the car accident happened again...
The specific ending of the story will not give you spoilers, search for "lovers at the end of time" on youku to watch, it is a rare good movie.
The main theme of the film is a bit similar to Brad Pitt's "Rejuvenation", which is to think about life, love, and the passage of time, all of which give the protagonist a hypothesis: what if time does not go in order?
"Lovers at the End of Time" tells the audience that immortality without love is not a good thing, "look at the people you love, say goodbye one by one, dream one by one, and wither one by one." "If these cycles have no end, not only is it not happiness, but it is a curse.
This theme can also be summed up in one sentence: "Immortality", far less than "slowly grow old together". Instead of spending long years and time in loneliness and nothingness, watching relatives and lovers leave them one by one, it is better to do what you like in a limited life and be with the people you love.
The heroine of the movie is very famous, that is, Blake Lively, who starred in "Gossip Girl" and "Shark Beach", and the male protagonist is also a familiar face, that is, Dario Naharis in "Game of Thrones Season 5".
