The Time Travelers Wife – Eric Bana. Born with an unusual genetic disorder a man is able to travel back and forth through time. Henry, played by Eric Bana, learns of his special gift of time travel at the early age of six. The first time it happens he is in a car accident that kills his mother. Henry soon comes to realize that life as he knew it is gone forever.
Going back in time he meets the girl he is going to marry. Unfortunately for Henry at their first meeting Clare, played by Rachel McAdams is only about six years old, Henry is somewhere in his mid thirties. When Henry meets Clare for the first time he is in his early twenties and hasn’t a clue who she is. Clare on the other hand has known him since she was six and is already madly in love with him.
It sounds confusing I know, but it is not hard to follow while watching. Of course I guess it helped that I had read the book a few years ago.
Here are the mistakes I found.
When Clare has her first kiss with Henry her hair is long and is held back with a brown clip. When the final part of the scene comes you can see that her hair clip is now yellow.
In the scene when Clare and Henry are in Clare’s art studio they have an argument. When it shows Clare she is working on a picture, removing the frame and then flipping the picture upside down. Shortly after the picture is right side up. Then again it shows her and the picture is upside down again.
When Henry is an adult he boards a train and sees his mother in one of the seats reading the news paper. When he approaches her she is reading “The Chicago Tribune”. After he starts to talk to her she turns the page of the news paper and it is now “The Washington Post”.
In the beginning of the movie Henry comes in out of the rain. It appears to be raining quite heavily but Henry’s hair is dry.
If jumping around doesn’t bother you then you should enjoy this movie. I encourage you to give it try. Just make sure you have plenty of Kleenex. .
