The Letter Writer

The Letter Writer is a powerful and beautiful movie, touched my heart and  kind of emotional. The message of this movie is so positive and encouraging. It's a story of an elderly person and a teenage girl. She saw the world positively through the letter writer, he motivated her to be a better person and to find her key to happiness. Through ups and downs in her life, she made a better choice for herself and also made her mom proud.

Also love the song she performed at the end of the movie, "Angle Bones"

A Secret Affair

A Secret Affair is very romantic. Vanessa, the female main character, is a perfect girl to everyone, smart, beautiful and a successful business woman. But she is not living her life, not following her passion and about to marry the man she doesn't love. She's doing what she thinks is proper. Bill, the male main character, is a charming Irish reporter, a widower and has a daughter. They met in Venice and fell in love. Their romance changed both of their lives positively. I enjoyed watching this film in a cold and snowy day at home. Love the music, the story and the beautiful scenes of Venice. Though it's very romantic, it's also kind of unrealistic to me. I am not sure how two people can fall madly in love within four days, but some people do have love at first sight.

Warm Bodies

It's so cold in the North East.  Yesterday was like 17 degree and I didn't feel like going anywhere. All I wanted was to bundle up in a warm blanket and drink a cup of hot cocoa. However, I said yes to a movie plan earlier in the week and feel bad if I cancel last minute. Therefore, I went out for a movie in the freezing cold.

The movie is called Warm Bodies and it's coming out in February. It's kind of different than the movies I would normally watch. A zombie movie with a love story behind it.  The ending is predictable and there are a few funny and sweet scenes. Overall, it's okay. I am not a movie critic, just my personal opinions. Everyone has different taste in movies, mine is more on the comedy side :)

Movie: Swinging with the Finkels

Swinging with the Finkels was about a couple that tried to save their stale marriage. With that in mind, the female main character suggested swinging with another married couple, meaning to exchange partner for a night.  It's an interesting concept to allow a partner to see if  the grass is greener on the other side, to have sex with another person outside of the marriage. I wonder how that would save a marriage.

True that a strong foundation in a relationship will help a couple get through tough times. Passion and love is like fire, both have to work together to keep it alive. After 10 years together, the Frinkels don't even want to touch each other. That's probably a realistic problem in our society. Many people are busy and don't have time for romance or even to show that they care. It's kind of sad that love is always more sweet in the beginning, known as the honeymoon period. I want to believe that if a couple love each other enough, care and passion should always be there, to keep love sweet like chocolates.
