Time enough for love.

Billy Pilgrim (Michael Sacks) Lives...from Time to Time. We also live from time to time. We get to see him seamlessly "unstuck" in time, and his life as a prisoner of war and captured by aliens, all fit into the universal truth. Many great actors do not surpass their characters. It is my problem that I still remember Valerie Perrine in “Steambath” (1973) and Ron Leibman in “Zorro: The Gay Blade” (1981). I came to this film from a left-hand sort of way. I was watching a documentary called “The Story of Film: An Odyssey” (2011); several times, the film “Slaughterhouse-5” was used to make a point about film technique. I have read “Welcome to the Monkey House,” a collection of short stories by Kurt Vonnegut Jr, but not “Slaughterhouse Five.” I also have not inquired too much into Kurt Vonnegut or George Roy Hill. So, I came to the film pretty much cold turkey. I like straightforward time travel movies. I am not too much of a fan of the non-linear ones. So, this film had one strike against it before it started. Well, I guess I was wrong; it was not the genre but the execution. I will definitely have to watch the film again to see what I missed while thinking about what I saw.
