BLUE VALENTINE
"BLUE VALENTINE"(2010/U.S.A)
Synopsis
Blue Valentine is the story of love found and love lost told in moments past and present. This honest and moving portrait follows Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams who star as Dean and Cindy, a married couple who spend a night away from their daughter in an attempt to save their failing marriage. Juxtaposed with playful scenes that trace their romantic courtship six years prior, Gosling and Williams journey through the brutal heartbreak that comes with fading love and broken promises.
Love is a precious spice of life and you may have experienced passionate love.
This movie showed me the beginning of such a wonderful love but also showed me a sad ending of love.
Both of them, Dean and Cindy were too passionate and they could not control their emotion even after marriage. In order to restore the relationship, they had several unsuccessful talks. They had grown up in unhappy families and they didn't want to be like their parents. As a result, they were in love but could not get along.
That was so sad! But I think there are many people who can empathize with this movie.
There is no magic to keep a happy marriage. We have to try to care for each other and talk about anything. And I think the most important thing is having a same level of goal for each other. When you reach the goal with your partner, then you can step up some more.
In this movie, the hero and heroine lost their dreams. Their future values are quite different. I thought that when they lost hopes and dreams for each other, their relationship ended.
If you are now in love I don't recommend this movie but there may be many things to learn from it.
This movie's highlight was a performance of the actor and the actress. In particular Ryan Gosling who played as Dean gained weight and his hair thinned after his marriage. I'm a fan of his! And Michelle Williams was nominated for an Oscar for this movie.
My rating:★★★

Who would have thought that Michelle Williams will be the most successful stars from the hit Dawson's Creek series. :) She has been shining as a star from different roles she have been portraying these years. As for this movie, I think many people can relate to it. Most relationships starts happy even so "cheezzzy" and yet many would fail and only few end up living happy forever. The sad reality of how our family can affect our other relationships has been depicted in this movie. Marriage is just a piece of paper and it's not enough assurance for a happy life ahead compared to true LOVE! If we truly love someone, it should mean being patient, forgetting pride, being understanding, making an effort to keep the relationship in tact and true. You've said it right... there's definitely no magic to keep a happy relationship. For at least once in our lives, we have to choose and stand for it to be happy. :)

ReplyDeleteI agree with you:Marriage is just a piece of paper and it's not enough assurance for a happy life ahead compared to true LOVE!
The reason this movie has been highly appreciated, since many people probably can relate.
I don't want to see my fat and ugly partner after marriage. I think we should always strive to be a good partner with each other.
