Stuck In Love - A Movie I Watched and Fell In Love with

Stuck In Love - A movie I watched and Fell in Love with

What am I doing? I am supposed to be preparing for my quiz now. Unfortunately i spent my evening watching this lovely film Stuck In Love which drove me to write about it. Till today morning, I literally had no idea there was a movie by this name or it was this damn good. I was busy with room cleaning where I went through an article written by Parshathy Jayanath who happened to be my senior at high school. She is now working for The Hindu and she had written about this movie. I read the article. Not once but thrice. I got hooked on to something. I don't know if it is because of the theme love and relationships or the story was about writers. She even wrote about buying a book that was mentioned in the movie. By the time I finish reading the article for the third time, I had made up my mind. I am going to watch this one.

It was evening seven when I was done with my work. The movie was short - just ninety six minutes long. I don't want to talk about the director's vision or the performance of the lead artists. I have not seen anyone of them before and all I can say is I just loved the Bill, Erica, Samantha and Rusty on screen. The story and screenplay just swiped me off my feet. It is about love, its complexities and human relationships. The way we people in India see relationships is far different from those in the West, but the inner feelings remain the same. At least I believe so. We have a beautiful father-son and father daughter relationship, a separated husband-wife relationship, the usual boyfriend girlfriend stuff and hook ups and one night stands.

Love in any form is the most beautiful emotion experienced by anyone of us. It's the driving force or motivation for each and everything that is taking place on this world. You can fall in love with anyone anytime and anywhere. The way you take it forward is what matters the most. With the passing of the initial excitement, egos, doubts and misunderstandings take over the mutual feelings. It's then where you are left with no other choice other to hold on or let go. None of us can go back in time and relive those moments or correct those mistakes. They were not even mistakes at that point of time. All we can do is give our loved ones a second chance. As Goutham  Vasudev Menon said in Neethane En Ponvasantham, "Sometimes a second chance is the best gift you can give to someone you love and if you love someone, a second chance is the best gift you can give yourself."

Anyways, the Borgens family is not going to leave me in the near future. I just loved this movie and to highly recommend this movie to everyone. To end this without the beautiful quote from What We Talk About When We Talk About Love would be a sin.

"I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making. Not one of us moving. Not even when the room was dark."
