"If a clock could count down to the moment you meet your soul mate, would you want to know?"
This is the tag line that IMDb uses to describe "TiMER", a brilliantly written romantic comedy. I went into watching this movie not knowing what to expect because Amanda Kowalcze had recommended it to me. (And we all know she's a little cooky..) But I LOVED it!
It's hard to describe all the logistics of the movie to someone who hasn't even heard about it. Basically, there is this device called a TiMER that was invented to help you find the love of your life. When one gets implanted to you, it sort of "turns on". If it doesn't turn on, don't fret; that just means the love of your life hasn't gotten one implanted yet. Once both of you have your TiMERs, it will start counting down how many days until you are destined to meet. Anyone reading this probably has a lot of questions, so all I can say is go watch the movie!
But seriously, what if this existed? Would you get one implanted? Is love really something that is destined to happen to everyone, just at different times of your life? This movie has sent my head reeling about different ideas of love.
Like the tag line says, would you even want to know the exact day that you are going to meet the love of your life? Let me just say, love scares the shit out of me. Yes, I believe I have been in love, twice actually. Each of those times was incredibly different and has left me wondering what the next time will hold. Sometimes I wonder if that next time is already upon me... HOW do we know for sure?
Love, I just don't understand you. And people tell me I never will.
