Extra Credit Blog: Message in a bottle

The movie that I watched today is called Message In a Bottle, based off the novel by Nicholas Sparks. It is about this man (Kevin Costner) who's wife dies, and he writes to her by sending love letters in a bottle out to sea. A Woman (Robin Wright Penn) who is divorced, and has a child was walking down the beach to find the letter in the bottle, and traces it back to the man.
Garret Blake (Costner) and Theresa Osborne (Penn) begin to develop a relationship, and eventually fall in love. When Garret visits Theresa (she is from New York and he lives in a small fisherman's town along the ocean), He discovers that she had the love letters and leaves her. She goes back to him, and he denies her, but then realizes his mistake and tries to get her back by writing one last love letter to his late wife saying goodbye for good, and goes to sail his boat to new york to be with Theresa. But a storm hits, and he unfortunately dies while saving a family whose boat was sinking.

The reason that I chose this movie is because it shows the difficulties of love, and the way that people will sacrifice to do anything, and prove their love towards that certain person. I really loved the way that Theresa opened her heart to him, and though he was very frightened and weary about everything, he learned to trust and accept her - flaws and perfections. That is what true love is about, and though this movie did lack on a happy ending, it was definitely a really good movie, as well as a tear jerker. I recommend watching it!! It is the perfect definition for a romance movie, by far.
