How come the most romantic things ever done have been done in movies so when, if you tried to reproduce it, the other half will say; how original? and in the movies, that person doesn't actually want to do those things in real life.
But I got a hold of Love Actually DVD in Christmas and I've actually not watched it up until now and though it think the movie isn't Richard Curtis' best (I prefer Notting Hill), there seems to be a developing trend in the movies that I've seen that he has written. And that is the pivotal scene...
In Notting Hill, the scene in which I believe tells the whole story is the scene where Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) stands in front of the boy, the man that she likes; William Thacker and sells her heart out. Up to this point they dated, comforted her, slept together, he'd had his heart broken because Anna is famous, and her love life is the stuff the papers write about and stuff. But at the end of the day, famous and all that, Anna is still just a girl. Standing in front of a boy. Asking him to love her.
And unfortunately for her, the "daft prick" William rejected her request.....
Though later realises his mistake and a mad dash across the poshest hotels in London, and he asks Anna to reconsider him, eventhough he had originally rejected her.
Lovely moment, I love the movie.
And in Love Actually, although not pivotal but the one that stands out from all the other scenes is the scene in which Mark (Andrew Lincoln) portrays or a better word/s; declares his feelings to Juliet (Keira Knightley). And unfortunately for him, she is someone that he can't have. Up to this point, Juliet had requested video tapes of her wedding, in which Mark was the groom's best man. Because Mark is best friends with her husband, she had been trying hard to at least be nice to him, and if anything, Mark was being nasty, cold towards her. But his feelings for her weren't known until one day Juliet went round to his for the videotape and when she began to watch it, the contents were just close ups of her. And then the scene in which captured my imagination is the one where he declares his feelings for her in the form of words on a card, and a good few of them along with some funny ones in between.
He set out "without hope or agenda" to tell her his feelings. And how after it, he has to move on. And that love is actually all around us. So when he had finished, he had walked a few yards from the door and Juliet runs and gives him a kiss.....
However as romantic as the whole thing may be, she did the right thing in fulfilling her marriage and ran back inside.
There he said Enough, enough now.
He moves on.
A movie, and a short story if it were. Both have a similar theme.... Both about someone who, more times than none, you would love to be with, but their just too far out of reach.
And if you look at my heading for this entry; Unrequited Love.
It is the hardest thing.
For you to love someone but not have them love you back... sucks.
And I've not been in that situation many times, but even liking someone very very VERY much, but she just think your just a friend, or your just a wee brother or an older brother to me. It really hurts!!
I can say fortunately I haven't found myself in that situation many times, because for me, if I like someone, I could go on liking them for years and years. Like for example, a girl that I liked during my school years lasted from primary 7 up until S4 maybe.
I guess that was young love, stupid immature. Don't know the basics of love. But funny to look at when reminiscing.
But giving up hope is the hardest thing to do.
I don't give up that easily with anything. Some say I may be stubborn, and I'd probably agree with them.
Maybe sometimes you gotta realise that when something isn't meant to be...
It isn't meant to be.
And the quicker you know it, the better.
No point in shoving a square peg in a round hole as they say.
I'm sure if something is meant to be, then give it time. It will happen in time.
We all want to be loved.
We all want to love someone.
But sometimes it's not the right time, not the right person...
Nothing ever happens the ways you want it to, especially in love.
I know I've had my fair share of disappointments in this area.
But each one.
I've let go and I'll try again.....
Don't awaken love until it so desires.
PS. I Love You.
So anyways 9 months down the line, I'd like to add to the above blog.
