We as a family visited Mackinac Island in July of 2009..she enjoyed walking on the porch of the Grand Hotel & seeing the gazebo from the movie, as well as buying some books related to the film.<br />5 months later, she was gone. I will always think of her whenever watching this timeless movie.

We went to a movie theatre in October and seen "Somewhere in Time" . I can still remember the seat location we sat in, even thou the Theatre is no longer there. I have now been Married to that Girl for 38 years. That Movie has always had a special place in our relationship.

I suspect I am in the minority with my viewpoint, but rather than seeing Somewhere In Time as a beautiful romance, I see the a story about a sad man who does not actually go back in time, but rather keeps himself in the grip of a self induced hypnotic illusion until he dies from dehydration. Everything he believes he experiences in 1912 was a figment of his imagination.

I went partially insane and walked on foot for about 7-8 kilometers from home to the best hotel in the city where we used to have our family get-togethers. In that period of insanity I imagined I had a history in that hotel akin to the experience of Richard Collier :) The movie was shown on television in Pakistan 4-5 years earlier. This was the impact of the movie on my mind though I experienced much pain of 'loss of love' in the later years too.

After almost 40 years, I recently got the media file of the movie along with sub-titles saved on my laptop and enjoyed it thoroughly. Yes, all the actors performed too well in this movie and the locations are classic. It's a must see for anyone who has been madly in love and gone through heart-break!S Roman Ahsanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026174908158381014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473857081653339896.post-15569412849413084852019-11-04T20:46:00.113-05:002019-11-04T20:46:00.113-05:00Great comments!

I would disagree that the relationships are a true triangle - Robinson is invested in Elyse's career. Not in the romantic possibilities, and his scene with Richard on the lawn makes that clear. As much as I love the film, there are parts I find a little disturbing today - for example, Richard disregarding period morés and very quickly getting physical with Elyse. Indeed the whole Hollywood trope that because the leading man is interested, the disinterested leading lady will eventually succumb to his charm. Having said that, the chemistry between Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve is unmistakable. One only has to look at the stills you included, and it's still palpable for all the world to see. Despite owning VHS and DVD copies, this is one film that I watch only rarely, because it's that special to me, and I want it to remain special. I saw it in its initial cinema release on my 21st birthday, and the emotions that the film is still able to stir in me reminds me why I cherish it so much.Solitairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02925916396149524868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473857081653339896.post-14705409311524332052019-06-18T19:52:38.399-04:002019-06-18T19:52:38.399-04:00A great love story.A great love story.Pam j.
