Somewhere in Time - the photo

Director's comments on the photo used in Somewhere in Time

[@terrywade3696]

When I saw the portrait of Elise being photographed & the look on her face as she sees Richard & realize that moment was captured just for him (in the Hall of History), I got chills & it took my breath away! Great direction! Great acting! Great filming! Few films have touched me like this!

I was just a kid when this hit the screen and have always wanted to go back in time... and STAY, since I saw it . Amazing what a good film can do to you. To me, Jane Seymour will always be Elise McKenna.

[@brianmallen8887]

The photo scene with her smile, rivals the Mona Lisa. The "what would I say to him" speech rivals Shakespeare. How can you combine romance and science fiction so beautifully, so seamlessly? You can when it's one of the greatest love stories ever told on film. So heartening when you find out that everyone involved with this masterpiece felt that. Jane Seymore and Christopher Reeve should be so proud of their work, their transcendent charisma trumps box office, oscars, and critics opinion. The jury is out, "Somewhere" is timeless.

lets not forget the great Canadian Actor in this film Christopher Plummer - was magnificent in this film . The Casting was perfect

[@jeffevans3193]

He and I had many a conversations in a shop I managed with my wife at the time. He liked people who were real not fake. His wife Elaine also a great Lady. The only actor in the movie Mr. Plummer I called him he was the only class act. The other two I won't bother to mention.

[@OhioGirl-bu2kv]

I remember, years ago, flipping through the cable channels looking for something...anything to watch. I came across this movie. I didn't catch the beginning...but I watched the movie till the end. When Christopher's character Richard dies, I turned off the TV and stood up to go to my room. My Mom asked me, "What's wrong?" I said, "Nothing." I went down the hallway, into my room, shut the door, threw myself on the bed and proceeded to cry my eyes out...saying over and over while sobbing "Christopher Reeve is dead..Christopher Reeve is dead!!" I was a teenager...silly and dumb. Getting upset over a movie. But...I was madly in love with Christopher Reeve. I remember watching the movie Superman IV: The Quest For Peace over and over again...probably 8 or 9 times...in a row...in the same day. I mean I loved Christopher Reeve. My Mom asked me, "How many times are you going to watch that movie?" I said, "I don't know...I just love the movie". Then in 2004 Christopher Reeve did die. Oh God, I was absolutely heartbroken. I didn't want to believe it. I kept saying, "If only he had not been on that horse, he would still be alive and walking". It took me years to get up the nerve to watch this movie. The music is just so haunting and beautiful. I cry every time I hear it. Sorry for my "book". I Love You Christopher Reeve. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

The concept of being infatuated with a dead woman's portrait, to going back in time, and then falling in love with the actual person, who, when her (past) portrait is being taken, is inspired by the sudden appearance of "the man of her dreams," having come from the future, is so creative and romantic, that I want to burst!

[@Blue8spiral]

As a kid in school I was studying the civil war and I remember finding a portrait of a young man in uniform that just...idk...it just gave my heart a jolt. I am a writer so I wrote a poem just about his photograph. It left such an impact on me and the fact that it was taken so long ago made it so strangely interesting.

@@Blue8spiral, What if you actually believed in reincarnation, and you may have had a past life with that young man in uniform, from that portrait that made you so attracted to him. Curiously, I'd love to know how your poem went and if you still took a picture to remember that man. It'd be pretty cool, if the people from our past, inspires some kind of past life memory. ^0^ Just a thought.

[@gr8dalmuti]

James Cameron apparently also thought so, when he later (After Somewhere In Time's release) made The Terminator. (Sarah Connor was thinking and speaking about the man she loved at the time she was photographed. And, John Connor later gave that picture to Kyle Reese.) The interesting thing about the book for Somewhere In Time (originally titled Bid Time Return) is that while it did have the element of Richard falling in love with Elise from the photo, there was not the element of Elise seeing Richard at the time the photo was taken.

I agree. Most of us, since we were young, have always held the dream of a person we'd face eternity with. Love is too small a word to describe the connectivity on a soul level. Those who have experienced a relation, no matter how brief, where the concept of time did not exist, know of whereof I speak. Reality seems to blur in the presence of that person with a union so intense. It gives me hope that such profound bonds cannot be dissolved by physical death.

Several times in my life, my mind has been captured by a woman. Twice at a dance, another while we were working on a charity project and got into one of those magic conversations, as well as a few other special moments. Sadly, all of them ended up with them on their merry way and me having to dig out of the slump they put me in. I first heard this soundtrack in a book store in Denver and knew I had to have it. Each time I watch the movie, I relate so deeply to his love for this picture/woman and how it suddenly is gone, leaving that emotional emptiness that can(and has) lasted for years.

[@hankgolfer1]

I love this movie. Movie and soundtrack gives me a heartache, a longing for true human love, and a longing for intimacy with God. The music "speaks" of love, of the hearts longing, of human intimacy and of course the greatest intimacy one can have is love of God.

[@steveoshow4832]

One of the timeless classics. I urge any fan of this film to read the original novel Bid Time Return by Richard Matheson. A much deeper and darker tale and with a more reasonable and believable twist than the pocket watch which RM always regretted writing in the sceeenplay. When you read the novel you realise that more so that Richard Collier actually deceives Elise all along.. It is a love story but by him going back to find her he is in fact doing her to a life of loss, pain and bewilderment. A remake more closer to the novel would be fantastic with Netflix on board. Leonardo De Caprio and Amy Adams would be perfect. Pierce Brosnan as Robinson.

An eerie coincidence: In the late 1940s, Richard Matheson was a journalism student at The University of Missouri. At the exact same time, the elderly Maude Adams was teaching drama at Stephens College. So, for several years, the two of them were literally within short walking distance of each other, but there's no evidence Matheson ever knowingly met her or knew who she was. Only 20 years later when he saw that picture of her, and became aware of who she was, did the genesis of this story happen. Matheson apparently worked this coincidence into the novel, having the character Richard remember crossing paths with an elderly Elise McKenna when he was a college student (and her apparently recognizing him). This became transformed into the famous opening scene of the movie, where the elderly Elise meets Richard and gives him the pocketwatch.

[@aurorerich]

The music is by Rachmaninov, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Truely opened my eyes for classical music. And it fits the movie perfectly because it is so melancholic and makes you think of the past. Whoever picked the music, I hope you got promoted.

As a 12 year old, I remember seeing the Poster at the Movie Theatre when we would drive by. I saw the movie on HBO back then and never really saw it again until just recently. I feel strangely attached to this movie as if someone is trying to tell me something. Being deeply Spritual, I have come across much literature which points to Thoughts being able to be Manifested. Another great movie along the same lines, though it is not Romantic, is Dream a Little Dream with the 2 Corey’s. Basically, the message is clear. Be careful what you ask or think for cause you may just get it. As a 53 Year Old Man, Being on my 1ST Marriage still, I know that I don’t feel about my wife what Elise feels towards Richard. I have seen a few Women that I have felt this about. Pretty much one for every decade of my Existence. I have just been obligated to my Spouse as the Vows Say. I like many made the decision to marry based on my weakness as a person. Anyhow, I believe we are Immortal Souls and Anything is possible. Even Time Travel if you so desire. It pretty much is Asto-Projection of your Spritual Energy. Either One can Master themselves and Travel Like Richard did in this Movie or you just do it when your present body has ran its course. Either way, with all being said, a person with patients can and will have all the desires they want. It might take a Lifetime or 2 but if you believe, All Is Possible.

[@thebalancedway7639]

@The Wizard of Chino Hills | Some small portions of those alternate spiritual teachings are true, but stay away from alternative spirituality and new age, it will destroy you. It mixes truth and lies - and right now, the parts you are attracted to is the truth path. (And with that, I am NOT implying any of the things you mentioned in your message above. But other things, which you did not mention.) The lies however will gradually seep into you, until they become a part of you. Then you will not want to let go, because you will not see a difference between yourself and the lies. You would have become one with them. The way it works, is by making you think you are winning, learning, advancing, bettering yourself. So that you keep going. But the reverse is actually happening. You are quietly being corrupted, in a way, that makes you like the end result, even though if I told you now, where you are going to end up, you would immediately reject it! The premise that one can manifest anything into existence, defeats the point of life on Earth. Satanism and a myriad of other false teachings, they all teach that humans should become manifestors of their own reality. The reason is to take people who are struggling in life, and feel the need to increase their self value, and promise them the world, no scratch that, the universe of possibilities, all made to serve THEM! Also, the concept of immortal souls comes directly from various false doctrines of demons. They teach it so that humans believe that there is nothing one can do to screw up their own destiny, and die permanently, by lose themselves in this world. In other words, they are selling you false sense of security with everything they say to you and that you absorb into yourself as truth. That's why reincarnation is part of every false teaching. It's like this: "Don't worry you've got forever to figure all this out, you can do whatever you want! Wink. Wink." But the real truth, which God plainly lays out for all to learn and align with is much different, and quite a bit more serious, sobering and scary: one can make choices that actually lead one to death, the total dissolution and cessation of self. The Bible calls it hell. And tradition has distorted it to mean, perpetual torture. But a careful study of the Bible says that God offers fallen humankind two choices: the free gift of life or if they reject that: death. That means that one is not immortal. The Bible plainly says that only the Creator is immortal, Him alone! And that the salvation He grants to humanity must be accepted through the right way, His way, if it is to be effective and have authority over your soul! Thus one can indeed die and perish as God teaches: both the physical body and the soul can perish, if they are unsaved by Him. *"Even Time Travel if you so desire."* Fantasies of those who have their priorities completely wrong. God does not allow beings to go anywhere and everywhere. The universe is not like the wild west, which we see in Star Trek and Star Wars. It is a holy Creation and ordered. *"It pretty much is Asto-Projection of your Spiritual Energy."* I had friends who wanted to astral project. I wanted to do it so much, about 6 years ago. Heard many stories that it actually leads to demonic possession and/or influence. One gains various capabilities and powers, but because they expose their physical body, demons come in and take it over, changing its settings, so to speak, so that they too can dwell in your body and use it for their purposes. Which you have no control over. It ranges from the subtle to the very overt. It ranges from perceived personality changes to outright psychic phenomena. *"Either One can Master themselves and Travel Like Richard did in this Movie or you just do it when your present body has ran its course."* Self-mastery of that kind is the number one priority of Satanism, occultism, new age, mysticism, gnosticism, and Eastern religions. All of it is useless and does not lead to anywhere. The more you learn, the closer you become to Satan. Not to God, and most definitely to some kind of independent self-mastery to do whatever you want - even though that is the promise. The higher up you go, the more you will answer to Satan. Even though right now, that figure may be fantasy to you. That's how it works. The full truth is not told to the lower initiates. But as they move upwards in the ungodly spiritual paths, if they reach very high, they will be in contact with several beings. Some will present themselves as masters of wisdom, ascended masters, family relatives, off-world beings, higher dimensional beings, aliens, higher self.... and a whole host of other types and names. (I've heard them all and seen their fruits.) Alternatively one may simply go right to the top and become the obedient slave of Lucifer. On the bottom levels of "self-mastery", you think it's all about yourself, and your own life, your success. But you are in truth serving the fallen "god" of this world. And as he is going to the lake of fire, so too are his followers. Unfortunately many deceived humans, who believe they have found the "ultimate truth". *"Either way, with all being said, a person with patients can and will have all the desires they want. It might take a Lifetime or 2 but if you believe, All Is Possible."* Yeah this sounds like the perfect description of the service to self path. Selfishness, self-interest, self-centeredness, narcissism, psychopathy. And as there is no more than this particular life to make a right choice - you better chose wisely. Do you chose your own wisdom or God's wisdom? Do you chose the things that come from a fallen race (humankind) or do you choose the things that come from a perfect Creator, who is above all the drama and the corruption? Do you chose between the simple salvation of Jesus Christ, or the complex path (got to earn your way up the ladder, only to find out you were not on the right path to begin with and had thus suffered terrible trauma at the hands of the darkness you had mistakenly delved into)? God does not allow fallen beings to "run around" His universe, doing whatever they want. The universe is His creation, and it is kept pure. Therefore, there are rules and laws which must be followed. And they are not found in the false teachings you are currently studying. As I was pulled out by God and made to see that all paths lead to death, except Jesus Christ, so can you. Do you value your life enough to ask the question, to admit to the possibility of having gone in the wrong direction? Think well friend. You only have one life. As God beautifully teaches us: life itself is the most precious gift of existence. It is not to be abused. Since God Himself is the giver of life, life is only to be found with Him. Nowhere else.

[@jtleon7086]

Wonderful movie! Mackinac Island, a place yet to see.

[@laportecan]

Thank you for showing the full version of the movie.

[@dianalee3059]

I love the story the director tells about the reveal of the portrait

[@wesleycole1623]

This movie is so special in many ways, finding that one true love; the actors, the time it was filmed in,MacInac Island, just a magical experiance for all.

[@ТатьянаГубина-и1и]

Отличный романтический фильм. И актёры замечательные! Очень жаль Кристофера Рива....😢😢😢 . А Джей Сеймур и сейчас прекрасно выглядит. Дай Бог ей здоровья!

[@jmrodas9]

The photograph of Jayne Seymour used in the framed picture could not have been better chosen. In it she smiles in such a natural way she seems to be alive. I like the smile which is not overdone nor forced and which shows her beauty. But most of all what impresses me is the genious in choosing that particular picture.

[@5cloudwalker]

Look up Maude Adams I read she was the real life inspiration just to look at her inspires the same feelings

[@lianecornils905]

Her dress in the theater scene, that's a ball gown!

[@linda8485]

It was stunning!

[@juansugarbunny]

This is such a timeless love story and beautiful movie

[@dynodon100]

Now I am in my 70s and she is as beautiful now as she was when this was filmed. Go see it...then you will understand.

[@deebeemer7166]

My all time favorite movie!

[@Khloe_dancer_model]

You said it right.I saw the movie I only oce and I am still fasinated *_* is not like the movies of today.Is so special...

[@petemoss8522]

My half-brother, when discussing this movie for the first time, made me aware, and more appreciative, of the magic of the title, versus Matheson's original title of, "Bid Time Return." The watch had no beginning! The old woman gave it to Collier, but he had left it behind, so... "Somewhere In Time."

[@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

Beautiful film.

[@Gamble661]

This movie and The Love Letter with Jennifer Jason Leigh are far and away the two best movies of this genre ever filmed. I'd put this one first but The Love Letter isn't all that far behind when you remember that unlike Somewhere in Time, it was a made-for-TV movie. And both films are based on classic time travel stories, this one from a novel and The Love Letter from a short story. I've watched both countless times and they never fail to entertain.

[@peteg475]

Of course, Jack Finney wrote "The Love Letter", and as an author he's any time-travel fan's iconic writer. And in "Somewhere in Time", the character of "Professor Finney" is named in honor of him. Matheson loved Finney, which is partly why he used self-hypnosis for time-travel, just like Finney did in "Time and Again."

[@Gamble661]

@@peteg475 "From Time to Time" and "Time and Again"; I've read both of my copies of these books to the point that they're worn out. In my opinion they're quite a bit better than "Bid Time Return" which "Somewhere in Time" is loosely taken from. Don't get me wrong; Richard Matheson was a master story teller, I just thought Bid Time was a bit too dark.

[@peteg475]

@@Gamble661 Well, it's supposed to be tragic, which I get isn't everyone's cup of tea. I like "Time and Again", but the sequel not so much.

[@Gamble661]

@@peteg475 I didn't say tragic, it of course was meant to be tragic, the ending of the movie is as well. I just found it a bit too dark in the story telling and what the main character was going through, just an opinion. I agree on your second point, "Time and Again" was the superior story but both are still head and shoulders above other entries in the genre.

[@peteg475]

@@Gamble661 To each his own. Yeah, it's tough to write something that doesn't come off as dark when your main character has terminal brain cancer. Though I must say it was pretty exciting to go to the Coronado and get to sit on those ornate chairs he mentions in the book. They're still there, if you can believe it.

[@MrRJDB1969]

I agree 100%

[@petergraham8681]

ALL these tributes to beautiful actresses from the so called classic era fail to make a note of Jane Seymour. Certainly one of the real classic beauties from ANY film era.

[@wdd3141]

When she first appeared as a Bond girl, I wasn't impressed; she was just some skinny gal with a pretty face. But over time she demonstrated her talent (and aged gracefully), and she was good with accents -- listen to her in character as Wallis Simpson, the American divorcée courted by the future King of Britain.

[@sylviatina8359]

Chris faces is as magnificent and spectacular even more than hers as he stares at HERS.we caught him at his most beautiful also..... .... .

[@kurimao65]

Somehow i liked the sound of Jane's voice better in the film than when she is being interviewed.

[@genesis211282]

Im tryin to find this movie. Tq for posting

[@elizabethhein4261]

I got my copy thru Amazon

[@siaripop7]

Do a comparison of this snapshot with the one from: Maude Adams; the inspiration behind "Somewhere In Time", video. In that picture you can see Maude with a fan next to her face. In the above version Jane Seymour has a fan in her hand when her picture is taken.

[@vlugovsky]

@Marc Del - I'm certain that similarity was not chance. The director outdid himself on this movie.

[@marcuslee74239]

such beautiful portrait..

[@manoelpacheco6041]

uma verdadeira obra de arte!, tal como Richard Collier, fiquei absolutamente fascinado por essa foto!
