THE VOW

I just watched a movie online on the very first day of the school vacation. Was so glad that my paper ended yesterday and I felt the tension melt away from me as soon as the paper ended. It doesn't feel like i've done extremely well but i've taken a lot of things a lot lightly then before. I think i've learned to take things easy well not in a bad way of course. 

Okay enough of the exams. Such a serious topic to talk about. 

As I mentioned, I watched a movie titled "The vow" and i'm so touched by the movie and really glad that there is a happy ending to it. 

The vow is a romance directed by Michael Sucsy, starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum, based on the true story of Kim and Krickitt Carpenter who wrote a book about their marriage, which was also titled "The vow".

After an accident, Paige (Rachel McAdams) lose all her memories with her husband, Leo (Channing Tatum), when she woke up in a hospital. Leo tried to regain Paige's memory by doing all that he could and was by her side as long as she needed him, hoping that Paige would fall for him again as she did before the accident that took her memories away. 

However, as time passed, not only did Paige not recall anything regarding her time with Leo, she did not find herself falling in love with him as what he expected. Paige was a changed person and when Leo finally gave up and let Paige go, they divorced. 

Going separate ways, leading the life that seemingly belongs to them, Paige slowly found herself quitting law school and enrolling into the Arts Institute and moving into the city. Exactly what she did before her memory was lost and when she found Leo. She never regained her memory but she fell in love with the man that she once vowed to live with, again, willingly, despite being separated by the challenges faced by them both during the period of memory loss. 

Its so bittersweet in a sense that I find it so heartbreaking to watch when Paige did not reciprocate Leo's love and commitment to the marriage and responsibility that he vowed to protect. But then again so awfully glad when they find their way back to each other unknowingly like its all fated. So their vows towards each other is valid after all. And that's really the heartwarming part to see them so in love.

Leo: " I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love. "

Paige: " I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness, to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed, and to share the silence when they are not, to agree to disagree about red velvet cake, to live within the warmth of your heart, and always call it home. "

Yes. "To speak when words are needed, and to share the silence when they are not."
