moments of love...when you're just friends
moments of love...when you're just friends...yeah, i was able to watch both those movies. one tagalog, the other foreign. moments of love with ate emie, kuya neil, ate jessie and nina. just friends with ate jessie only. marked differences, but i probably won't expund on that.
more than anything, when i leave the theaterhouse, weird as it may seem, i always try to find the reason or morale behind the stories.
blame the habit of making a written report during hughschool where you identify all the elements of a story down to the vocabulary! hehe.:)
the cinematography in moments of love was really good. the nature and portrayal of the 1950's were nicely done. plus, i've always liked the idea of living in the past, if only for a while.
but the clincher of the movie was the line of divina: :"Ang pag-ibig walang nalalamang panahon o wakas". or something to that effect. it's like the Magpakailanman tagline that should always be mentioned every episode.
Marco said, "for others, love is a choice. for me, it is destiny."
i wanted to ask the scriptwriter, uhm. define destiny please. is it the same as serendipity, or as sometimes used in the "christian world", God's will?
but in the end i think, love is always a choice. God may have set apart a special person for you to be with the rest of your life but if you or that partner decided otherwise to look elsewhere and not trust that there's someone who's the BEST for you, then you've made your choice.
just as is Just Friends, you can always decide if you're going to stay on the "friends zone" or move toward a romantic relationship. either way, there are consequences, outcomes you may or may not like.
it's funny though, that Chris reynolds said near the ending of the story that, "When you love, you lay it out hoping they would return the same feeling but not completely sure."
it's like the text msg i received days before:
"falling in love is making a stand...
when you love someone, you don't say "I LOVE YOU, take my love"
instead you say, " Here's my heart and open hand. take it or leave it...
I WILL LOVE YOU JUST THE SAME..."
and loving just the same, whether friends or lovers, is also a choice to be brave and show even tell what you are inside. what and who we are sometimes does not guarantee that we'll be loved back but it's the only thing we can offer.
that is why we continually trust that we find the best God has in store for us who can completely accept us and even complement our personalities.
romans 8:28 "for God works for the best of those who love Him..."
