As the title suggests, the movie (or the book) is about the wife and how the wife struggles having a time traveler for a husband. I immediately say "struggles" because hello, it is already difficult to be with a "normal" someone who disappears every now and then, much more, when he is a time traveler. Seriously though, the movie marked Rachel McAdams more as a heroine of best love stories. First, The Notebook and now this.
Anyone who saw the movie would surely be confused on the timeline everytime Henry and Clare meet. Of course, the story is impossible. But the timeline is very interesting.
The author, Audrey Niffeneger, wrote the book over her frustration of love. And she used time travel to create the barriers and troubles in the couple's relationship. This movie reminded me of 50 First Dates (Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler) because no matter how abnormal and complicated their relationship is (which is beyond their choice and control), their story managed to be realistic just like any other couples'- they had fights, they needed space from each other once in a while, and they bore a child amidst it all.
To better say it, here it goes (from Wikipedia):
The novel, which has been classified as both science fiction and romance, examines issues of love, loss, and free will. In particular, it uses time travel to explore miscommunication and distance in relationships, while also investigating deeper existential questions.
But unlike 50 First Dates, Time Traveler's Wife ended tragically.
