One Day Film for Lovers and Friends

One Day is one eye opener.

One Day is for lovers and friends.


 

Friends. They say it is impossible for a man and a woman to just be friends. As a lady, I believe it is but to just a certain degree. Keeping an arm's length still is valuable advice. A matter of self preservation or precaution, not to hurt the other and to protect your heart.

Scared. At some point, Dex and Ems were frigthened who should go first. Again, I stand by what the best-selling author Elisabeth Elliot says about letting the man inititate. But some men do admit that at times, they get tongue-tied. As for me, if you love someone, you will declare it. Plain and simple. If one can not utter the words, perhaps he just doesn't love her that much.

The Risk. The risk for Dex and Em was letting a decade pass through their eyes. Wasted? Maybe. When Dex finally gathered enough sensibility to realize he does love her, and has always, what he didn't realize was their time is running out.

Epiphany. Love, cliche as it is, is a roller-coaster ride. But at the end, when two hearts are meant to be one, the pre-destined purpose of their existence still prevails in the end. The journey was exhausting, long and profoundly full of mishaps and bliss, but it was worth the wait. It ended painfully beautiful. A story worth-telling others, that when you love... love and embrace it now. You'll never know until when you can hold it close to your heart. You'll never know when it will drift away. You'll never know when it will be taken from you.

Becoming Jane

I saw this movie last year around Christmas.  It was a sad story.  Jane the author of well-received novels lived a melancholy life… at least, that’s how I see it.

 

She gave up on her beloved. She did not believe in the ability of the man to succeed. Her vision of Tom was jaded of the fear of the unknown. Perhaps, we need to see beyond circumstances. If she believed in the man that he is, and supported his dreams, it would be a different ending. What Tom needed that time was someone who would believe he can. She did not.

Wouldn’t it be great to know someone believes in us?

The movie Love Affair in 1994

The movie Love Affair in 1994 just captured my heart. Perhaps it was the drama of seeing Mike (Warren Beatty) silently wait on top of the Empire State Building with rainshowers and thunderstorms. It was heartbreaking witnessing the used-to-be-playboy wait in the rain with the painting for his beloved Terry (Annette Bening). He kept waiting and waiting. She was not there.

It was indeed a love affair. One of the highlights of the movie was when Mike's aunt Ginny (Katharine Hepburn), played an  instrumental (Love Affair by Ennio Morricone ) while the two visit her on a paradise-like island.

I have seen the film at least 20 times now. It's one of my favorite movies because it shows how faith holds a person together for that one soul on the other side of the rainbow. They just both waited, hoping for an opportunity, or in the hearts of their hearts praying that the heavens will conspire a plan to make them meet and fall in love again. Love Affair will totally make you dig deep into the beauty and wonder of having a broken heart forget, forgive and fall again.

There is just the kind of love that will hit you once and for eternity.
