Great Film: 50 First Dates
Never mind the sucky parts, this is what love is
See, I am a married man. And watching this movie, at home on the sofa
with my wife whom I love above anything and hopefully always will,
almost brought me to tears and easily did her. This movie, no matter
all the overdone/overacted characters and the fact that Adam Sandler is
probably the worst person in the world the act crying, is simply the
best description of love ever. To have the energy to every day win over
the heart of the one you love, is what we all should do, though ever so
often don't have the energy to.
I believe that movie criticism often nitpicks too much on technical
details or other such stuff of -actually- little importance. Show me a
person who is not moved by this film and I show you a person who knows
zip about real love. Real, I mean. I am not a religious person and this
made me feel closer to what people often call God, whatever that is.
Maybe I exaggerate, but I want to. And no work of art, of any genre,
can be asked to do any more. On scale of 1 to 10, this goes to 11. (Can
you see?!)
