Time Traveller's Wife (miscellaneous 4)

About a week ago I rented The Time Traveler's Wife. I had really wanted to see the film due to the dramatic aspects, and I was in the mood to watch a love story. Basically, the main character has a gene anomaly which makes him time travel. He has no choice of when and where he will go, or when and where he will end up. He falls in love, gets married, has a child, and they try to work through the time travel disorder. There are rough patches, but they make it work. At one point in time though, a future him shows up at their house with a bleeding, fatal wound. They stare in horror as his dying self appears, dying slowly and painfully, and then disappears again. He mentions at one point in the film that he tries to save himself from dying, that he tries to change history, but he can't.
His time traveling reminded me of the Eliade concepts we talked about in the beginning of the semester: the sacred and the profane, and chaos. His actual life can be seen as the profane. He is unsure of when he is going to leave and he is confused a lot. His time traveling can be seen as the time of chaos. He is unable to control it; it really controls him. But there is a time where his younger self is able to travel past his own lifetime. He can visit his daughter, watch her grow up, and see his wife. I would label this as the sacred time. It is short, but he is able to tell when he is about to time travel. The time spent with his family after his death is cherished. I think this film would be great to watch during class. I think there is more to it than the sacred and the profane and could even be connected to other concepts.
