More than a movie review - One Day

I have realized that my writings have a pattern. And it is generally triggered by, predominantly, one thing. Love stories. Or better still movies about Love. This time, it is triggered by the movie, yes you guessed it, One day. It’s the story of Emma and Dexter and their life over a span of 20 years, beginning from the day they met, followed by what they are doing on the same day every year for twenty years. Sort of like the un-official anniversary day.

Well, to begin with, the best memory is not of the first day they met, which however is the day which sets the movie in motion and is the root of the movie (I know, pretty obvious sentence, but as I know myself, it has to be set out clearly too), but is of the day after the first day they meet (or spend intimate time with each other). On this day, the movie shows the two of them taking a hike up a hill and then sprinting down to go to Dexters house, followed by a farewell with a promise to keep in touch.

It’s a long relationship, its friendship, love, lust, understanding, knowledge of existence, helplessness, misunderstanding, denial and acceptance, and yet at the end of all, it’s being together, being connected. No matter now wrong or right the other person is, how far or near the other person is, how good or bad the other person is, yet there is this connection. I don’t know if its made up or real. I see evidence of it in every second movie I watch, but in real life, I don’t hear people talking about it. And yet I believe it to be true to be real to exist and to one day exist for me.

I was being unnecessarily jovial yesterday. And I looked at my reflection and it warned me to not be so carefree, cause my dreams may not come true and it may in fact turn out to the contrary. I told my reflection that its not like there is any truth in them right now. Right now, there is only a possibility/ hope of them being true. And that possibility/ hope is what is making me happy. If it crumbles in the future, well then I won’t laugh in the future. But that should not be the reason why I should stop dreaming and smiling now.

Ha! This one was a bit difficult to put in words, but once its starts to flow, it flows!! My thought ;)
