I had a long weekend this week because of MLK on Monday so I really didn't have much plans, hence long weekend. With that I had a lot of time to catch up on my movies. I saw a total of 6 movies this weekend. One included the theatre, the rest were Redbox and Netflix. From my Netflix collection I happened to rent two sappy love movies. I'm sorry, I'm a sucker for romance. These two movies were not actually what I expected at all. I rented "Remember me" and "Adam". Not to give away the ending but I gotta say it wasn't the typical love story that happy endings occur. Maybe in our generation today it's more of being practical about love and facing the truth, that not all love story ends with a happy ending. I was kinda bummed. The stories were moving and you did see the struggle and passion for love that they portrayed. Heck I still teared. But sometimes maybe the struggle we experience in relationships may not be the right relationship but that relationship shouldn't be discredited at all. Regardless of what kind of relationship it may be, someone will always be affected by one's action. Both movies did move me because there was the heartache, the forgiveness, understanding, passion, kindness that we see in these relationships and it's something that we all should take from it. Hopefully in the next relationship it won't be so hard and maybe in the next relationship we can look forward to that happy ending. And maybe more happy endings....in movies?
One of my favorite romantic movies is Disappearing Acts. I like it cuz it's real. It talks about the real struggles and how something so good can be difficult to maneuver through. If you haven't watched it, rent it. It will definitely put relationships in a new light.
