The Time Traveler's Wife
Not having read Audrey Niffeninger's story, I was surprised by this movie. It is an utterly romantic story about how a man courts a woman, despite being cursed by a genetic disorder to uncontrollably be projected into the past or future.The point of the story is the romance between Claire and Henry. This is handled sensitively. The disturbing aspect of and older Henry imposing himself on a young Claire as a child is defused. The resulting story is beautiful if fatalistic and serves as an allegory for the strained human relationships. One slight flaw in this gem is the question if Henry has any control over his time-traveling. Apparently no, which leads to the general air of fatalism that runs through the story. If so, then how does Henry go back to tell himself that he is a time-traveler? How does he buy the right lottrery ticket? There is the apparent plot hole that makes the diamond flawed. Which is a pity because the concept is simple and the premise fruitful.
