"Somewhere in Time" 1980 film with parallels to BBM?

<< < (3/25) > >>

Sason:
Talking about similarities, I even noticed some hay and a stable in one of the videos!!   ;D

Penthesilea:
I second what Sonja said. Judging from the storyline and trailer, it doesn't sound like a film I'd be interested in.

Without my own BBM experience, I would probably just have thought them lunatics ::) -- but, seriously, who am I to talk??  ;D

Yes. Who are we to talk?
Might be interesting to check out their forum. See what they're talking about, get the gist why they find this movie so fascinating.
LOL, like one alien species checking out another one ;) :laugh:.

Penthesilea:
I found an official website, but no discussion forum. Maybe you have to be a member to access it. They charge 25 bucks a year to become a member :o.
I also went to good old IMDB's discussion site for the movie, but didn't find anything overly interesting.

But somehow I'm intrigued. Maybe I'll watch the movie.

The German title is "Ein tödlicher Traum" = A Deadly Dream
Judging from the title and the last scene, it looks like there's no happy end for the lovers. Another parallel to BBM.

I saw 'Somewhere in Time' (with my ex wife cause' she insisted) while in college. While not usually a fan of typical love stories, I was mesmerized. Now that it was brought up as a possible parallel to BBM, I agree 100%. I remember leaving the theater stunned, profoundly sad, heartbroken for the couple and I couldn't stop thinking about them for days!
I wouldn't try to watch it in 10 minute intervals on You Tube. I would try to find it on Netflix. I believe those affected by BBM will have a similar experience with this movie.

I saw this film when it first came out, when I was only 14 and VERY impressionable when it came to love, and what it was capable of making you do to get and keep it.  Have watched it dozens of times since then (have it on VHS).  It's a beautiful, romantic, and very pretty film -- from the gorgeous setting, to the Victorian costumes, to the old-world manners of the day.

One can only wonder "what if", when watching Chris Reeve in films like this when he was at the height of his powerful physicality and gorgeous looks and that killer smile.  Similar to watching Patrick Swayze in "Dirty Dancing".  To see what they were in their youth and naivete that things would always stay that way for them.  But then reality rears its ugly head, and they're gone, just like that.  Sad...

I'll check out SIT again, and try to come up with some more BBM parallels to add.
