I really liked this program. I can agree with others that his lurking and spying made me speak out loud "this dude is creepy!" It is pure romantic fantasy. What made it different in the way they handled the time travel was how he was so aware of not saying things. But he still made little mistakes , like ordering a latte, or telling Alice the dangers of smoking to which she laughed. Had to come to tens that the constant gazing was as Chris told him was his idealization of Alice, yet he was madly in love with her while Chris just wanted to have her to one up his father. I'll take gazing over controlling every time. All along you get answers to why things have happened or why someone does something. Early on we see Alice swimming out sea and each time she looks like she will drown. It isn't until toward the end you see what she was doing it for. The ending sequence was interesting to the final scene. I think a few of the reviews I've read just want to use todays standards or just like dissecting in detail to hear themselves talk. They are missing the main pointing Love and this is a French romance. Of course everyone stops to see them kids in the runway! It's France!!! Amours. I liked the detail on the Odetta record having the torn record jacket. This along with the reality that he took the photo he fell in love with made it fit with Einstein's idea of time is linear band happens all at once. Past and present are the same happening at once. Hurts to think about to long. Finally when they meet I was surprised she was still young, but it is my contention this is how he sees her in his minds eye. I only wish for a bit more detail to fill in the ending for sure.
