(no subject)
ever since i watched a walk to remember,
i've never looked at chick flicks the same way. that movie was a
disappointment. i mean, sure, mandy moore's pretty and shane west is
sweet. but. compared to the book... it definitely was different. you
didn't see the entire introduction of the novel nor were there any
Bible studies... there was no development of the relationship
whatsoever! it was just, "whatever you do... don't fall in love w/ me.
[times passes] *plop* i told you not to fall in love w/ me!" SERIOUSLY.
and after waiting for a few days w/ much desperation... i watched how to deal... which was another disappointment. and yes, mandy moore was still pretty (except now, i really like her hair :D i want short hair!) but this time, there was trent ford. (wahaha, i love his voice! :D:D) okay, so he's cute. BUT still. this time... i think it was even worse. there relationship was incredibly physical and suddenly, they find themselves saying, "ooh.. but cut me some slack... i don't know how to deal w/ the way i'm feeling right now. i've never felt this way." and the guy, macon, just goes on the radio and tells her, "if you're ready to jump, i'll be here to catch you."
sure. i'd fall for that a few yrs ago. "awwww, that's so sweet!" ha. ha. sure, now i'll manage to say, "that's sweet." but let's face it. he'll catch you for like, what - 1 week? bye boyfriend! no, it's not that though. it's just... i don't believe these chick flicks do the justification for how great love is. and they sure don't depict the beauty of it all... maybe that's what relationships have evolved into nowadays... a quick peck here and there, let's have sex and now we're in love! haha, okay too much sarcasm. :D
don't get me wrong, i still enjoy watching chick flicks and all... it's just, i see them a great deal differently from how i used to see them. maybe it's the realization of how drastically different love is in movies. i've always known that they made things just right, quite unrealistic - i know. i suppose i'm a bit tired of the romantic age that hollywood has set up - or just movies in general. even spirit, which was playing last night... you know that horse movie? hahaha... he ran after her (both horses) like it was life and death w/o her... ^._.^ horses running b/c they're blown away w/ the feeling of love?
but you know. even though i sound so bitter and sarcastic, that doesn't keep my eyes from brimming w/ tears when i hear sue (in 50 first dates) tell lucy that she and her mom were good friends and that she'd take care of her. nor does it prevent me from smiling when i see lucy's art studio or hearing halley tell macon how much she hates the way his hair falls in his eyes. so. [shrug]
i'm still going to watch my chick flicks and have a good laugh now and then. course let those tears come rollin. :D but now i know that there's a greater love and it's definitely not going to be on any of those screens, but from where it really started. :):)
just a thought. :P
