I just saw the DVD. Did not read the book. The movie brought out intensive spriritual emotions in me. It's all about love. Also reminds me of Jesus's resurrection when the time traveler returns after his own death. Inspires the viewer to make the most out of the limited time we have together and to feel the sense of loss when that time is over. The entering and exiting of the traveler causes no one to take life or persons for granted. This movie and the Titanic elicited great emotional reactions. I cried while watching both movies. Only the belief in Heaven can comfort the finality of earthly life.
