i'm extremely into romantic movies, especially the ones that touch people's heart. when i was watching the Titanic as a first movie i've ever watched in a theater back in 1997, i was in loved with the love that the movie shows me. at an age of 7, of course i won't know what love even means, but when i was watching the movie, when i was crying because i feel the pain of Kate when she had to let Jack's dead body go into the deep ocean, i thought that's the feeling of love. many years later when i had to let someone else go, i realize that feeling i had when i was watching Titanic was called "heartbroken". and then i realized that, that "love" i felt through the screen is sweet and bitter.
i had several romantic relationships since i watched Titanic that first time. some of them are nice, but most of them just ended wrong. i went from believing "soulmates" to believing myself and my partner to manage and keep a joyful relationships. i had lots of experience of that "heartbroken" also, from romantic relationships and also passaways of my close relatives. i came to know what a "loss" feel like, and learn that the pain of when ones realize that someone will never come back into their life again. and then i watched P.S. I Love You and fell in love with the amazingness of how much this movie can recall my feelings.
i wanted the love that holly had, that passionate first-sight love, the love that i never thought i would have until it really happened. i came out of that relationship, realizing that not everyone is gerry and i'm not holly, love is better with calmness and wisdom, at least for me it is. arguments hurt people and myself, and sometimes, the wounds will be still there even if they appeared to be invisible. and even if i wish or i know that someone would love me forever, relationship is still more about managing than anything else. love is easy to find, but hard to keep. although, i still envy holly and gerry. the love they shared is just so strong and probably the most romantic one that i would rate in all the love movies.
A Walk to Remember would be the next one that i highly recommand.
Her innocence and wistom changed him. sounds like a very simple ordinary story, it's so simple, so ordinary that it seemed so true to me. When jamie told landon that she will die soon, it reminded me that how brave people need to be to fall in love and stay in that love. we can't choose our life, but we can choose how to spend everyday of our life. love seems so small comparing to life, but yet life is formed by all the little loves that we get here and there.
wow, seems like all the top three romanic movies on my list are all invovles misfortunes and depress. well, my next one is different type.
adam sandler is one of my favorite actors. his movies, that i had watched, are all funny yet meaningful. my favorite part of this movie is probably the ending. happy endings of a love story just warm my heart everytime. i cannot imagine how it would feel to have my memory stuck on that one day and keep repeating that same day over and over again, but i sure hope that if that does happen, i can meet one henry as lucy did.
What Dreams May Come was introduced to me by my boyfriend, back in the days that we cuddled on the couch in the afternoon humboldt raining days.
again, what would people do to save their beloved ones. i love this movie because of the dreaming and fasinating version of heaven and hell on the husband side, in the contrary of the cruel and reality of the depress on the wife's side. i just have to say, this movie itself is just genius.
there's still plenty of romantic movies that i wish to watch, like the note book and casablanca. So more love movies? YES, PLEASE.
