Over the weekend I saw the new movie Valentine's Day. It is a film that has a huge cast of big name actors such as, Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Patrick Dempsey, and Jessica Biel. The storyline follows these, and many other, characters as their romantic lives interwine on Valentine's Day. I thought it was a very well put together illustration of a range of different relationships. The movie showed older generations of couples celebrating Valentine's day and contrasted this with a look at young couples in love. I noticed that the director portrayed the older couple's love as strong because of the attention that is shown to loving even the flaws of their spouse. In contrast, the young high school couple's love is described as "..full of promise, full of hope, ignorant of reality." I have to admit, this is my favorite part of the movie. This quote made me laugh because it is so true and I see it every day as i walk through the hallways. In the end, the director does a good job of putting all of the story lines together to show the different stages of being in love.
