How many of us would use time travel if given the option? What exactly would we go back to do? Would we tell people the things we should have a long time ago? Would we risk our own lives to save someone else? More importantly who would respond to an ad in the paper looking for a partner to travel with?
There are days I would. I would take the risk and the machine and go back to do things differently. I might save people. I might save myself. But you know some of us do time travel all of the time and don't even realize it. We are on repeat. We stay stuck in a place that passed us by. We cling to a moment, a scent, a song, a memory, a person and go back whenever we need to...machine or not. If we are trapped in a moment that "defined" us then we have traveled back over and over again to the past.
But the time and the people and the places are all a part of who we are now. We don't know which one leads to which but if one were missing everything would be different. Could be a detriment or a blessing but integral just the same.
Some of us spend our lives trying to go back in time to save the ones we love. We try to help them get past the things that hold them hostage. We risk life and limb and measure quantum physics. We change calibrations and new approaches. We write code. We steal supplies. Sometimes we hide to protect. But basically we try to bend dimensions and go back in history hoping to right the wrongs...and we do it without the big machine. Sometimes creating a big machine seems more plausible because the struggle seems far too complicated to handle without it. Either way...safety is not guaranteed.
The movie itself was terrific and so was my night with my friend. Hey Jenne, thanks so much for the big discovery at the end that made it even more brilliant!!!
