love in the time of s-wine n-wine f-lu
twice today i've read comments about love in the time of cholera, the movie. and my reaction was....what? there's a movie?! i was not aware that there was a movie. i don't even remember that movie being shown here. because if i did, i'm sure i'd make time to watch it. i remember reading that book and crying after. not even after reading the whole thing. i remember crying while reading it. tsk. i have to watch that movie. i need to watch that movieeeee.
ContraDiva quoted this line from the movie:"it's incredible how one can be happy for so many years in the midst of so many squabbles, so many problems, damn it, and not really know if it was love or not."
ugh. i don't like it so much when lines (like this one) bring me back to a certain past i don't want to go back to, making this line (this book/this movie) quite powerful coz it really affects some people (like me and two of my friends). well, i'm not affected like sobbing nor teary-eyed affected. but i am affected in some weird way and i don't like it. anyway....
not really knowing if it was love or not.....does it really matter? when i was younger, i was very sure that it did. i knew that it would be impossible for me to be happy with someone without knowing that he was my knight in shining armor, my prince charming, my one true love. years later, i kinda doubted it. i mean, if one was happy, how can that life be without love? that part of not knowing whether it was love or not, that confusion could be just the result of having this romantic, sweet valley high-ish notion of what love is and what love should be, since real living and simple plain loving are not often portrayed in romantic comedy flicks nor written in romantic novels.
(this love talk is making me queasy. )
i want to end this already, hehehe. so, does it matter? i still don't know what the answer to my question is. i hope not. coz i'd like to love someone truly, whether we last forever or not.
love in the time of cholera is a novel by gabriel garcia marquez, and it's about this guy, florentino ariza, who waited so many years to finally be together with "the one that got away", fermina daza. if, in the end, it really does matter...i hope i spend the rest of my days with my florentino.
