It is probably the most painfully sweet movie i've ever watched...
It came so close to reality... that it was almost like taking a trip back a couple of years, as i watched her journey thru her version of my life.
The movie's pretty good. well, tiring thou... considering i started crying about 10 min into the show, intermittently throughout, till abt 10 min before the show ended... :P The people on the other side of me must be thinking i'm mad~
It's been some time since i remember feeling this sad. while trying not to be too self-absorbed or melodramatic about it, the show does touch me in many ways, because it is very real. the main n supporting characters are portrayed in realistic angles, with strengths n weaknesses, not the typical perfect hollywood leads. she doesn't wake up, fall into some hunky stranger's arms and move on :P Not a perfect beginning, nor a perfect ending, but beautiful nevertheless. and i guess, in a way, the story does help me. maybe i like it cos i can relate to it. we all like stories that we can feel for, find similarities to our own experiences, and draw inspiration from.
abit about the film from the website:
"With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a touching, exciting and often hilarious journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life."
Have to borrow from the website... cos, instead of being overcome with inspiration as i usually would n write some fancy long thesis, this time my mind's quite blank. kinda dunno wat to say.
