Only sometimes can she pick and I don't think you could create new meetings after death that he hadn't already experienced. However that's the part i find magical between him and Claire because he said he didn't want her to worry or wait for him so there could be other meetings like at the end of the film that he never told her about.
@@michael_sharples wasn't that the depressing part? she never knows if he ever comes back after witnessing his death, the ending of the film gave her even more false hope. i remember reading that the ending of the book has her waiting until she is really old and he never comes back. all he wanted her was to move on but she never could. magical but kinda sad yeah?
@@bluerum896 I think I remember reading a bit right at the end of the book where Henry has travelled again but Claire is an old woman and they embrace. So she does she him again but it is just so beautiful and so sad how much she loves him because she did end up waiting for him all her life but at least she did get to see him again.
I think the way Alba survived when the other 5 didn't was because her parents were from two different time periods. Making her a child of time. Past henry with present Claire.
I love this version so much better than the 2022 version. There seemed more chemistry and emotions in this one. Rachel McAdams is the queen of romance films. I can’t imagine anyone else playing Claire than her.

@@edinfific2576I just finished the series and it was pretty incredible. I find it more realistic and true to the human experience (as much as a story about time traveling can be lol). I then watched the movie and found it to be hallmark-y and one dimensional.
Little more heart wrenching in the book cuz they call clare, and he disappears as shes running to him. After he learns about his death he does meet Alba a lot but decided for clare not to be involved because he wanted her to move on and not constantly be waiting for him
@@Chrissykeanu6 meh it was an important part of the story. She spent so much time waiting for him. He knew how little he went to the future and didn't want Clare to just sit and wait just in case he shows up. So he wanted her to move on and marry again
I must admit, if someone ran up to me and said, "Mommy!" I'd be all, "Who's kid is this?!" And why didn't Alba's teacher call the police?! I mean, WE know he's her dad, but SHE didn't!!
weird they'd change that detail. I was also looking forward to seeing that last scene from the book when *SPOILER* he visits Claire as an old lady, I couldn't believe they left that out.
I read the book my sophomore year of high school -- kept me occupied a bit during my Christmas vacation. So long ago now, haha. I was fifteen...now I'm twenty-two.
This is one of four movies in which Rachel McAdams stars as the love interest of a time traveler. The other ones are About Time (2013), in which she played the wife to Domhnall Gleeson's character, Midnight in Paris (2011), in which she played the fiancée of Owen Wilson's character, and Doctor Strange (2016), girlfriend of the title character. In none of the films does her character travel through time in any way.
The book is so much better, but with the time that the movie had and all the scenes I felt like they tried to be as faithful they could be. I really like this movie...one of the reasons I started to read the books
The book is pretty big. It would never work in a movie format. I’m looking forward to the TV show that’s coming soon. Hopefully they won’t leave out anything.
Why does everyone have to let you know how the book is different. "This is how it happened in the book" or "I wish it would have followed the book". We get it..you can read!! Almost any film adaptation of a book isnt like the book. This is done because certain things have to be translated differently to fit time constraints. So for the love of god...zip it!
Because the director and writers not following the story and making their own interpretations of the story to fit "time constraints" intentions and motives of the characters are misconstrued. I've seen where people wrote that Henry seemed to be like a pedophile because situations were left out which explained certain scenes. This is why people continue to refer back to the book. Even key characters were taken out of the story that would explain much of Henry's character. This whole scene with his daughter is completely out of context because the teacher has to know about Alba's genetics since she could all of a sudden disappear in her classroom and Henry's time-traveling even though in real time he is dead. If Titanic could be 3 hours long, they could have added a few minutes here and there for a book that contained 546 pages.
@@sweetpapillon7265 I get peoples frustrations but studios aren't worried about a small group of fans. They have to appeal to the masses. The film was probably greenlit and then studio said "uh yeah cut all this out here and here our innvestors don't agree with this and they are funding this thing" or "we gotta appeal this to everyone as people(not a person) aren't to bright and won't follow this story" or even " we need to put in a scene for advertising" Writers: "But taking these scenes out will ruin the movie" Studio: either that or scrap the whole thing It sucks but that's business
Yes , most people don't read book and they don't care the movie from book or comics But they do care if the movie is good and enjoyable and maybe afterwards they read the book or comics
I absolutely loved this book. The movie adaptation was very disappointing. It would have made a great 10-13 part HBO mini series. They could have explored so many aspects of the writing. Oh well. That being said, this scene with Alba in the movie is so sweet.
From what I understand, HBO will be doing a mini-series. I wish they had done this initially with these actors. Now it will be a whole new Henry and Clare, and I don't know how I will personally receive that. LOL. Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams were perfect, except for her hair. LOL.
This is one scene I wished they followed in the book. Cuz’ if this scene made me cry just by reading the book, imagine the heartbreak it will cause in the movie.
The first time Henry sees Alba may also be the last time Alba sees him, now that's time travel! A year earlier for Alba she saw him chronologically later for Henry, she encouraged him to try singing to stay but unfortunately he didn't realize what she meant (coming from when she was a baby he didn't chronologically realize the singing potential as he doesn't find out until years later from her 5 year old self).
This made me find there is a whole netflix series of the same title. Bonus the beautiful redhead from game of thrones is the wife ( who Jon Snow actor married in real life).
I always wondered what Alba’s time limitations were. Until this scene Henry has only ever travelled to times when he was alive somewhere else at the same time, he was surprised that he could travel past his death. But Alba mentions Henry’s mother, her grandmother, who was long dead by the time she was born so clearly her parameters are bigger but how much bigger? Could she go to Ancient Rome? The future? Apparently there’s a sequel coming out about her life so hopefully I’ll finally get those answers. I read the book when I was like 14/15 and I’m 30 now 😂
kid sneaks off from her field trip & is found in the company of a random grown man. teacher of the year in 2024 this would be crime I truly miss how not serious people took innuendoes in the 2000's
I’m guessing since she can choose where to go she also has the ability to keep what she has on, control parts of it, like how she can go where she wants.
This scene always made me sad until I realized that Alba can pick where she travels so she can visit her daddy at anytime. So he’s never really gone.

@@Hop3fulRomantic yes, she is 82 when they last meet.
When she says, "And i heard Grandma sing!" I cry every single time.
This scene tripped me out when she made him realize that basically he was already dead for 5 years as of that moment.
The part where Alba says "I've really missed you", makes my heart sink every time. So does he.

They should make a sequel called...The Time Travelers Daughter.

Books are almost always better than the movie version. Nothing new there..
The series just started on HBO, I believe its up to the 5th episode so far ... It's really good and more in-line with the events of the book
the best time traveling film of all time
If you liked this movie you'll love The Time Machine (2002 film)
Great Scott!
You should watch ABOUT TIME.
A damn good one!
I do recommend “About Time” though. Especially if you like romance and heart ache with sweetness.
That's not how it happens! The teachel let her skip the class after talking with Claire and she rushes to meet Henry at the main entrance...
The movie compresses scenes . It’s unfortunate but we deal with it I loved. The move version
movies don't have to 100% be exactly like the book
