Keep Tissue Close By
First - do not expect a warm fuzzy ending. It’s been 10 minutes since this movie ended and I am fighting off a second wave of tears.
I am usually not too affected by high school love stories, but this one broke my heart. I have felt this type of pain from the loss of my husband, and was quite envious of their ability to tell each other how they felt before they were permanently separated in the end.
The movie itself was very sweet it its development between the leads and how they grew close. And while I find these noble ‘sacrifice’ story lines annoying sometimes, this one made me quite sad.
The ML (what a gifted actor he is!) and the FL grew close because of friendship and shared interests, not an attack of random hormone release, and this is how lasting relationships should begin. A steady slow burn that stokes a fire that lasts a lifetime.
It was refreshing that there weren’t any psycho ex’s or ranting parents throwing fits and causing havoc. I am glad they focused on this instead of including tropes that distracted from the story.
Their separation was sweet and something neither wanted, but adults will be adults when it comes to making decisions regarding their families.
I am glad they left out how he ended up losing his life, because I’d still be sobbing if it had been included.
The ending was bittersweet. The FL finally found out what happened to him, and she finally got to see his love for her reflected in the video he had left behind.
I really loved this movie despite its ending. It was beautifully filmed and the cast was perfectly cast. Frankly, I don’t even remember anything about the music, that’s how much my mind was engaged in the story.
I think this will be my go to drama when I need a good cry and to cherish memory’s if the past.
Keep the tissues close at hand for the ending. You’ll need them.
