Over spring break I watched the movie P.S. I Love You, this is one of my favorite romantic movies. This movie is interesting because the main character, Gerry, this movie is angled around is already dead right in the beginning. He is depicted throughout the movie by his wife, Holly's memories. Before he died he wrote her letters to help ease her grieving and after dying of a brain tumor, she begins to receive this letters. Long story short, it's a real sweet, romantic way to depict a tragic love story. One of the things I love about this movie is how real their relationship is portrayed. They show the common life challenges they faced as a married couple, the differences between them and the love they had despite all that. I feel so many romantic movies are unrealistic and are too much of a 'fairy tale' story. Not that there is anything necessarily wrong with that but it's always nice to see movies that show relationships in a very real life manner. The movie doesn't necessarily have a feel good ending, because after all, Gerry has been dead since the beginning, so there is no way they can end up together. But it shows her moving on with her life in a healthy way while still keep him a part of herself. I think this is a wonderful movie with the way it depicts the love between the two characters. It's so vivid, alive and real, even after his death. Her memories of him are so strong and you can see throughout the movie, how every little thing reminds her of him. Throughout the movie you have such a strong sense of how much they belong together and how unfair it is that he passed away so young. However, it seems he remains alive through her and her vivid memories of him. This movie is quite sad but it has many humorous moments and despite the sad nature of the story, ends with her finally learning to be happy again. I think this movie is a wonderful example of romance, especially with the plot circling around the love letters he leaves her after his death. It doesn't get much more romantic than the traditional love letter.
