Why is it called "The Thief of Time"?
Many people are surprised that a movie without a thief is named "The Thief of Time". Regarding this, Luo Qirui said, "I think that slogan is what I want to express most. . It turns out that time is the biggest thief in life. It steals our most beloved and valued things, our love, precious time, beloved and heartbreaking memories. I think the name "The Thief of Time" is the most suitable for this movie."
According to Luo Qirui, the original intention of the creation was to commemorate his childhood and his brother who died young. According to Zhang Wanting, the film's producer and Luo Qirui's wife, when investors came to them, she and Luo Qirui both gave a story about their respective childhoods, "They preferred the one he wrote in memory of his brother, and the one I wrote in memory of my mother. The story was not made. Every movie has its own destiny, and "The Thief of Time" had better luck."
