A unique journey through time and space drawn by Richard Curtis

Movies are often referred to as ``an art that manipulates time and space.'' In the hands of a director, it's easy to move from place to place at will, even go back in time with flashbacks, or even anticipate future events just by using his "narrative style." In that sense, time travel, which means running through time and space, can be said to be a narrative device that is extremely familiar to movie lovers.

And perhaps it is these aspects of cinema that Richard Curtis, one of Britain's leading screenwriters and film directors, drew on in ``About Time''.

``About Time'' (2013), Curtis's third directorial film, is a story that depicts the trajectory of a family over a period of almost 10 years. Compared to previous works such as `` Love Actually '' (2003) and `` The Boat That Rocked '' (2009), which had a large cast and were gorgeous, the atmosphere is a little calmer and calmer.

The idea of ​​"time travel" is unexpectedly added to this. For some reason, the men in this family have inherited the ability to travel back and forth through time and space, and if there is something in life that they want to do over again, they can go back in time and do it over and over again until they are satisfied.

Until we arrive at the idea that ``the mundane everyday is what I love.''
