Poetic Film Review: The Time Traveller's Wife (2009)
In realms of time, where love does stray,
A tale of Henry and Clare's disarray,
A curse of time travel, unforeseen,
A love so strong, yet fate unclean.
Henry's journeys, wild and free,
Leave him naked, lost in history,
No control, no choice, no peaceful nest,
A life of chaos, forever unrest.
He meets Clare, young and fair,
Who knows him well, with love to share,
Their bond is strong, their hearts entwined,
A love that transcends the timeline's design.
But fate is cruel, and death does loom,
Henry's future self, a premature tomb,
Clare's miscarriages, a genetic fear,
A love that's tainted, by the unknown year.
The script attempts, to make sense of it all,
A soul mate's love, that stands through time's great fall,
But complexity, and time's twisted thread,
Leave the audience, with a puzzled head.
The ending comes, a melodrama's sway,
Predictable, and mushy, in a lovesick way,
The chemistry's lacking, between the lead pair,
A spark that's missing, a love that's not quite there.
The cinematographer's warm, and golden light,
Creates a romantic atmosphere, a gentle night,
The acting's solid, the performances so fine,
But the lack of chemistry, a love that's not divine.
The Time Traveller's Wife, a film of mixed fate,
A decent box office, but critical hate,
The author's disapproval, a refusal to see,
A television series, that met a similar decree.
A tale of love, and time's great might,
A story of Henry, and Clare's endless night,
A romance, that's complicated, and hard to define,
A love that's tested, by the boundaries of time.
