The Romantics

So, yesterday I just saw The Romantics. It was a great movie actually, plus, you get to see Josh Duhamel, Adam Brody and Elijah Wood all in one row. Now that's what we call an actual refreshment. Haha. So, basically it was about 7 bestfriends who called themselves 'The Romantics'. Years after college graduation, now all the seven Romantics reunite for the wedding of two of their bestfriends. Problems arise because the bride (Anna Paquin) and one of the maid of honor (Katie Holmes) have had a long rivalry over the groom (Josh Duhamel). While the groom himself cannot really decide which one's best for her. Like he needs Lila when actually he's in love with Lo.


This movie sticks quite hard it my mind for it really captured fragments of the life happens in around us. First, I dont know why marriage has been some kind of obsession for girls this day. It's like a race. Like one by one your friends start to tied the knot and then the question 'when it is my turn' come haunting you every night. Now girls, note this. Marriage, isn't always means he loves you that much. It's just a form of comfort zone. Not for all people of course, but much of them yes.

And i've never seen a movie which picture what happens inside a men's heads so perfectly like this movie. See, I've always thought men really have no idea what they really wanted and they keep changing ther minds and they don't wanna lose all what they've got which sometimes made them push themselves to have everything, doesn't matter if it will hurting everyone around them. It's just they're so clueless about priority of their lives and I see this inside the groom, the Josh Duhamel groom. He's in love too deep with Lo, so deep until he's scared that Lo could do anything for him it freaks him out. He's scared that Lo wouldn't pay much attention and he'll just accept it because he love her. He's scared of Lo because Lo made him too happy until it didn't feel real and it freaks him out.

While on the other side, Lila is so loving, so caring and she takes care of everything. She keeps her cool while everyone's losing their heads. She's an angel. And she makes him feel, SAFE. SAFE. only safe. He doesn't even sure if he really loves Lila.

So, girls. Note to self:
Marriage isn't always means happiness.
Marriage isn't always means he loves you so much.
Marriage isn't always means a better future.

So stop making it as a race. And stop thinking of it as a race. And stop let it blinds you. And good luck with all of that.
