LOVE STORIES FOR YOUR HEALTH
I just love nice/good/beautiful/true/inspiring LOVE stories on
the movie screen. I do collect them. There are different types
of love stories, not just the typical boy meets girl. And sometimes
love comes hard, with effort, with cost. Sometimes love does not
always end the way you would like it to. It may leave you sad at
the end but the love as it went along, raises you up. Love is
a beautiful emotion that indeed does have your body filled with
good vibrations as they say, with healthy bits of whatever it is
that flows through your blood and into all your tissues of the
body. Love flow is to me like relaxing in a hot tub with just a
gentle working of the hot-tub jets - it makes you feel good, yet
not just a feel but it does actual produce health to your body.
I'll share some of the "love" movies I had - if you've not seen
some of them, then give yourself a health bath, and see them.
The last one I've just watch is "Bright Star" a Jane Campion film.
The true story of the love between John Keats (the now famous romanic
poet of the 19th century) and the girsl next door - Fanny Browne.
A beautiful acted job by Abbie Cornish as Fanny and Ben Whishaw as
John Keats. It's what true love between man and women should be.
It's a sad ending as Keats dies at age 25. The acting scene when
the news is brought to Fanny that John has just died, is one of the
greatest acting performances of being heart-broken and breaking down
with crying emotions, I've ever seen by anyone on film.
Some of the movie critics exclaim: "Sweeps you up on waves of ravishing
romance" - "Bright Star is one of the most deeply moving romance films
in memory" - "Seductive Pleasure" - "Sumptuously photographed love story"
......
Away from Her - a film by Sarah Polley. A movie about true love and
the terrible pain of the Alzheimer's desease.
......
Dear John - a 2010 movie - very nice and well acted. Love brought them
together. Will fate tear them apart. It has a twist in it that you do
not expect, hence makes the movie even more lovely.
......
Captain Corell's Mandolin - goes back to 2000 - Nicolas Cage and a
new star on the movie set for that time - Penelope Cruz.
