My feelings toward this movie are bittersweet; sweet because everything is so realistic to the point that it makes one question whether or not the relationship one is in is actually worth being in. The movie sort of gives the impression that any problem can be solved. I saw through all of the actor's eyes and felt that any element of this movie could actually be part of my life.
My boyfriend and I have sort of established that we want to be together for the rest of our lives, and he always makes it clear to me that he has integrity and that he wants to be the best he can be. I have always believed him, but after watching this movie, I realized that ANYTHING is possible; that you can't live your life thinking that you know what is going to happen because you have it all planned out. So I guess the bitter part of it all really isn't so bitter. A reality check now and then keeps us grounded...
I'm just glad that I didn't watch this with my boyfriend, though, because I feel it would give him second thoughts about being in a long-term relationship. This movie is that powerful! I feel it would discourage his willingness to stay faithful and I really do not want any of those thoughts to fill our minds because we are happy where we are right now. Would you watch this with your girlfriend/boyfriend?
