Thumbs up The Vow

I went to go see this movie with my wifee today and wow !!!! I'm the strong silent type and man I really had to suck it up to not let one out (wut the hell no crying smiley face) It was really a good movie. My wife and I where separated for 5yrs and this movie had booth of us reminiscing how we got back together and what it was like to fall in love again.
Anyways The Vow is a very good movie , , , play your cards right and you will get lucky

It had a good plot but I didn't love it the way I wanted to.

I loved the movie, but was really pissed off watching it.

It's like I totally understand both people's side, and I really empathized with both of them, and so I just felt like it was just a horrible situation to be in.

In all honesty I think the true-life story was more interesting though. I have tremendous respect for the Carpenters and everything they went through.

Interestingly enough a woman at my work got in a car accident and she lost 2-3 years of her memory. Fortunately, it wasn't of her marriage. Unfortunately, it was of her kids birth. I think she was in pretty bad shape for about 6 months, very mentally unstable. When she kind of rehabilitated, she did not remember her kids being born. One was young and she didn't know much about him, the others were a little older so she was just sad that she couldn't remember their younger years.

Years later still no memories came back...

The brain is a crazy thing.

I especially like the ending. I'm usually pretty good figuring out the endings and I thought I totally had it but was completely wrong.

It triggered me bad.

I had mean parents like she did. And like JB I didn't like the way it ended either.

I went to see that last night as well, I think it's true that moments in our lives define who we are and what molds us into who we will be in the future......
In a split second our lives change, death, marriage, children and things that are out of our control.
It showed in the movie what a struggle those moments can be and what strength it takes to get through them......
I cried when he signed the divorce papers.......
I loved what the doctor in the hospital said about filling in the holes and to be open to that process........
I loved how he stood up to his father in law for what was right and just........
I loved how he helped his sister in law with the pure genius concept, very thoughtful and caring.....
Acceptance is the key to a good relationship and not trying to change the person you fell in love with.........Just truly supporting the person you love......
In the end it felt right to reconnect and make new memories .....

I haven't seen it...don't know if I want to. I'd rather watch "The Notebook".

---Good.Some Self-Realizations on human lives...

The movie has message of unpredictability, in-capacitance that can be brought about by instants, instances, events , which are usually forgotten in the ego ,in the folly of confidence of a "self-yish" leading of life ...
