It's Complicated

I just watched "It's Complicated" on Wednesday night with my ex-colleague. I have wanted to watch the movie once I heard about it. Not only does the title captured my interest but the plot too. I always adored storylines that revolves how couple got back together after years of separation between them. Its the part where after all those years, they finally found out their one true love is in fact each other tugs my heart. I find it pretty romantic. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that my parents were divorced when I was very young. Hmm..this is something for me to ponder about.

Anyways, Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin were wonderful in the movie. One was a great beauty while the other was a hunk ( when they were younger back then). I am surprised to see how old they have become. Nevertheless, they still look fantastic!

I realised something about me has changed. Before I watched the movie, I read the plot in Wikipedia back in March. I knew that in the ending, the both of them did not end up together again. I was highly disappointed. But..when I watched it 2 days ago, I actually support the fact that Meryl did not accept Alec back in her life and instead open her heart to Steve Martin. I surprised myself at this thought of mine.

I am the kind of gal who supports couples who are separated to be together again in the end but as the story unveils around me, my heart goes to Steve Martin who is so sweet and caring to Meryl Streep. He is so into her while Alec is a selfish guy who dunno how to appreciate her. I felt like he is just using her for his pleasure and convenience. He disregard her feelings completely. How can he treat a girl like a mistress. No way man! If you really love your lady, you will respect her. When Meryl broke Steve's heart, my heart went all out to Steve and felt so sad. Here is a guy who has opened up his heart to her and definitely will love her more than her ex-husband but she is contemplating on who she should accept and from the looks of it, she is about to forgo the happiness Steve can offer for a reunion with an ex-flame.

As I mentioned earlier, I am surprised that my point of view has changed. I feel somehow that I can relate to the movie. Meryl is me while my ex is Alec Baldwin. I know by ending our love, he has hurt me really bad. He don't even call or text me anymore. It hurts but life moves on. He is the one who refuse to have anything to do with me anymore. I had tried my best..just that..his love for me..is not as strong and determined as I thought it to be. I will never ever hate him nor blame him. In fact, I want to thank him because he has taught me so much about life and love. He made me realize alot of things and see things differently. The lessons learnt over the past 4 months not only affects my life but also mould me to be a better person. A person who I am happy to be. I did not really like the old me back in 2009 but I am liking the sort of new me of 2010.

Thank you. =)
