I've been watching...

Recently, I’ve got to admit, I have been watching lighter films than usual. With millions of different things going on in and outside of my head, I just need to chill from time to time. And of course, as a film lover/addict, the best way to chill is just to have a glass of nice wine, to cuddle up in soft blanket and put a romantic comedy on. Not long ago, I have watched “Puccini for Beginners”. I loved it. It was a romcom but still it made my day and it did include some out of the bracket thoughts. When I was reading reviews of that movie, I went to “If you like this, you will like…” section, as I do. And there I found: “Imagine me & you” by Ol Parker. Lovely Piper Perabo (makes you melt!), great Lena Headey (she so beautiful and special – gets you in love with her after she appears on the screen first time), most handsome Matthew Goode (how hot can you get?!), Boo Jackson (amazing - left me speechless and made me have giggles forever) – them and the rest of cast played so naturally that one could think it was your mates from around the corner, having their issues sorted. Yes, it did get cheesy and lovey dovey at some points. But then again, what do you expect from this genre?

The reason I am writing about this film is (well, not trying to be original here or anything… :) - love… I did ask this question before – so – what is love? Is it the addiction to the other person? The constant need of being with them? Best friends kind of meal deal? It is lovely to be able to discuss every single aspect of life with your other half. It is great to be able to trust them. It makes it nice when they are treating you well. It’s good to be used to the other persons breath on the pillow in the morning. It’s wonderful when you can share your interests and passions. It’s all great. But these components are components of a good marriage or great friendship. They are definitely not components of love. Because love is this little butterfly that doesn’t let you sleep at night. I’ve been with somebody because they were alright. I never really felt this huge desire, lust (not only the physical one) and going mad with animals in your stomach… Do not make this mistake. Life is funny and fortune changes – things might go good, things might go bad. But don’t get involved with somebody just because you think they are nice. Nice is wrong. Just follow what your heart tells you to do and don’t waste another second of your life. There are so many emotions to feel. Don’t sit and think. Get up and do. And always desire. And always be passionate about every little detail in your life. We are not staying here forever, you know…
