I had so much fun watching this last Saturday. I didn’t expect anything at all because I tend to get disappointed whenever I watch a movie that was based from a good book. I promised myself that I will watch Time Traveler’s Wife as if I didn’t know the characters at all. But as soon as I saw Henry’s lonely eyes and Clare’s longing, I couldn’t help but remember the story and my experience all over again. Whenever I read a story that I like, it’s like I’m with them and always feel bad when it’s time to close the book. My journey with Clare and Henry was magical but most of the time sad. So you’d understand why I had a huge lump in my throat when Clare first laid eyes on Henry (the present version) in the library. Henry wasn’t time traveling, he will not vanish any minute. It was the moment that Clare have been waiting for her whole life. If I were Clare too, I know I wouldn’t be able to take my eyes and hands off him. He was her dream guy and first love after all.

I wanted to cry so many times but I stopped myself because I didn’t want to ruin my eye make up. Plus I was a bit embarrassed to cry with so many people around me (the cinema was full). The Husband said I shouldn’t hold it in since we paid money and the least we can do is to make the most out of the movie. Still, I didn’t cry. I couldn’t talk that much because my throat hurt so bad after restraining myself for two hours.

The Time Traveler’s Wife stars Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana as a couple dealing with one of the most difficult problems in a relationship — they’re constantly separated. No, this isn’t a story of long distance love. Instead, Henry (Eric Bana) is afflicted with a rare genetic disorder which causes him to time travel with no control. His wife, Clare (Rachel McAdams), wants nothing more than to make their relationship survive despite his disappearances.

Anyway, I wouldn’t wish for something like this to happen to me but when I saw the movie, I wondered how it will feel to see The Husband’s younger version again. Even more exciting, if he gets to visit when he’s ten years older. I’m sure he’ll have lots of stories to tell about us. Are we better? Richer/poorer? How about our daughter, Sandy? What are we doing in the future and most important of all, is he who he wanted to be ten years from now?
