TIMELESS LOVE MOVIE MOVIE

Dong did not just make a straight copy of Luhrmanh's style, still I felt that this film is at least loosely connected to the man's oeuvre.ĭong set out to make a bold film. Due to this clash of classical and modern elements it's probably not all that weird that Baz Luhrmann's name flashed through my mind more than once. Meanwhile the film is executed like a classic Chinese crime/drama (think Zi Hudie, Feng Sheng or Qiu Xi) and mixed together like a modern Chinese romance. Story-wise it's a tribute to Hollywood's Somewhere in Time. Timeless Love is a unique mixture of vastly different influences. Shen Dong's Timeless Love is the latest to join this list of overlooked gems and does so convincingly. While none of them truly fantastic, films like Wu Ren Qu, Gui Pin Che, Ci Chu Yu Bi Chu and Chun Chun Yu Dong have done a great job showcasing the variety, reach and creativity of China's new generation of film makers. Yes it's predictable, but that doesn't make the ending any less heartwarming.China has been a prime breeding ground for interesting movies this past year. There is also a rival girlfriend which I thought was done just about right. I agree with another reviewer in that I was totally annoyed by her parents, but fortunately those scenes are relatively small. The two main characters are totally likeable and if anything they are both a little too perfect. We get to see the relationship develop in a realistic way. The two leads have obvious chemistry and those actors do a fine job. An even different take on a similar theme is Sliding Doors which follows two parallel universe versions of a woman's life based on one version where she missed making a connection and one where she didn't miss it.) If you didn't guess, I like this kind of stuff.

TIMELESS LOVE MOVIE MOVIE

(A slightly different take on it is the 2000 movie Family Man where the man wakes up and is suddenly married with family to the woman he long ago left behind. It also has a flavor of a few movies about people whose real life marriage is interrupted while they wake up in a world where they never married that person but get a chance to see how both lives turned out otherwise. It is a bit of a different premise which is refreshing. A woman in a coma dreams about being married to a man she later meets who turns out to exactly fit the man in the dream. This charming romance story is based on a mystical or fantasy premise. Reviewed by Jackbv123 8 / 10 Enjoyable modern mystical romance 'Timeless Love' is attractively photographed with lovely scenery, confidently directed and the scoring doesn't come over as too loud or too constant. The mystery element is always intriguing and isn't unrealistic or dull.

There is even a mysterious surreal quality that was quite striking and something not seen a lot with Hallmark. On the whole, the story is immensely charming and has a light hearted-ness at times and a poignancy often. The script doesn't take itself too seriously while treating a serious subject with respect. The supporting cast all play their parts well and the characters on the whole were interesting and easy to relate to, not many overblown character flaws or over-perfection. Daugherty supports her very sympathetically and really liked their understated but very charming chemistry. Rachel Skarsten gives a deeply committed and heartfelt performance that is something of a revelation at her best. Do agree with those too regarding the unsympathetic portrayal of the parents, which took away from the charm at times.

Starting with what isn't perfect, it did for my tastes end too tidily. As far as the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries films go, or at least the ones seen recently, it's one of the better ones. Is it one of the better Hallmark Movies and Mysteries films from that year? Again yes, it was a variable year for that block but more often than not watchable and 'Timeless Love' certainly for me hit more than it missed. Does it live up to its premise? Yes and delivers even more. 'Timeless Love' was very well done on the whole. Am not hugely familiar with most of the cast, the most familiar name is Brant Daugherty who has been watchable in what has been seen of his. One of the best premises of that year's Hallmark Movies and Mysteries films.

'Timeless Love' is one of the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries films and had a great alluring premise that's a little different to usual. Have been on a Hallmark film roll for a few years now, first for a while just watching the Christmas films but started watching and reviewing films from the other seasonal blocks late last year.
