Beloved
I loved The Vow. I am not much of a movie reviewer, particularly if I have read the book and the movie is NOTHING like the book. BUT in this case, I loved the movie. Not to mention, there were thirteen of us girls ("All the single ladies...") in a theater packed with couples on Valentine's night with ready Kleenex and buttered popcorn. It was like girly heaven.
The story goes: Leo awkwardly meets Paige. Paige and Leo grow to love each other. Leo and Paige get married. Paige loses her memory of even being married or meeting Leo after a terrible car accident. Leo tries to help her remember. She can't and tries to go back to life before she met him. But he can't give up...and I can't give away the ending.
You can hear the sobs and snuffles reverberating through the theater and it breaks your heart. I felt horrible for all of the male viewers, thinking that they had to match up to the pure and true Leo in pursuing their significant other. Fact is, I'm glad those fellows watched this movie. Despite all odds, frustrations, emotions and heartache Leo never abandons his love. To him, she will always be his. To her, he will have never compromised his promise to her on their wedding day. Now, fellas, you might have felt intimidated or less than manly wondering how you are going to possibly live up to this guy's commitment standards. The thing is, yes, you should try. But there should be no condemnation if you fail. You and I, we can never live up to the standard only one person has ever fulfilled. You may cherish the girl of your dreams, or ladies, you may adore that man by your side. Truth is, Someone loves you so much more and is willing to do WHATEVER it takes to love you.
He loves you when you don't remember him.
He desires you when you run from him.
He longs for you when you fight against him.
He will always be your lover.
p.s. Happy LATE Valentine's day!
