channing: one very great actor.
How many hearts should suffer with the egoistic notions of people?
How many lives must diminish just to please the pride of man?
How many souls must escape to shelter itself into the heart of one true loving man?
These are the questions we asked to ourself after we finished watching the movie- “The Vow”. A movie that took us into a journey inside our heart’s desire. A movie that furthered answer our question: “Who am I?”
In life, you must really know what you like. You must discover your true freedom. And you must find shelter into the arms of ONE LOVING MAN.
A MAN who knows you fully well. Who’s willing to fight for you, take care of you, and still accept you amidst everything. Whatever untoward accidents or sudden tragic events, whatever change in the course of things, and whatever obstacles- this man would be there for you.
In the movie, actress Rachel McAdams’ character suffered from amnesia after an accident that involved her and her husband, portrayed by very handsome Channing Tatum in the movie. The hardest thing was: she couldn’t remember anything about her husband. What she only remembered was the earlier episode of her life that she had with her rich family and former executive boyfriend.
But Channing’s character never lost hope. He fought to win back his wife. But in the end, the wife just kept on drifting…,until Channing’s character eventually surrendered and moved-away from and transferred to a different city.
In the end, eventhough the wife never regained her memories with her husband, she sought him. A nice quotation hidden from a book made her go back. She found him in the door of their favorite restaurant.
They walked in the middle of the night, and they bonded anew, and continued their life’s journey together.
The End.
"the vow": simple, touching, worth-remembering film...
NOTES:
The film was greatly acted by Channing Tatum. We couldn’t forget until now his “highlight” scene when he cried so magnetically inside the recording studio while playing his guitar and talking to a female friend… His tears in that scene were almost hidden, but you could feel so deep, in every words he said, in every feeling he revealed. You, too, would cry with him…
Channing’s acting style was subtle and subdued. But his manliness could bring you to glorious heights. His spirit magnified whenever the cinematographer captured his very handsome face. And Channing wasn’t simply teasing. He was really deep into his craft as an actor.
The great supporting veteran stars in the film did so well, too. Miss Jessica Lange might have looked old in this film, but her beauty was still so visible in every scene. Mr. Sam Neill, who played the father of the wife in this film was so powerful and commanding. Excellent job.
The film was based on a true story. On one real-life couple. They now have two kids.
Love do exist. “The Vow” never breaks….
As long as we hang-on… as long as we love that ONE PERSON…
FOREVER.
