I think my heart just shattered. I don't cry. Ever. I haven't shed a tear since Feb. 9, 2007. Believe it or not, I'm a teenage girl. Shocking, I know.

I just watched this movie, cuddled up with my "boyfriend" (I so hate that word, I just can't think of anything better) thinking it would be a nice change of genre for once, considering the only movies I like are filled with blood, guts, and dismemberment.

This movie was so powerful to me, that I was a blink away from crying my heart out. I had to literally get up and leave my "boyfriend"(again, ew) because...I don't know. I can't explain it. This movie was just so powerful to me. I can't explain it.

Anyone get this?

Helena deserved that oscar more than anything.

If you hate using "Boyfriend", you should try, "Special Guy Friend"

I felt quite the same. Except I was alone the first time I watched it. I so wanted them to be together (Kate and Merton). And at in the last couple of minutes when I realized they wouldn't end up together, my face was completely blank. I was so let down. When the credits started rolling I finally began to cry.

Helena Bonham Carter is my favourite actress and I found her performance in this incredible and amazing.

PS - I'm a teenager girl, too. Hahah. Except I cry at quite a few movies.

I thought she was fantastic.

I didn't, however, feel sorry that she and Merton did not get together in the end. They turned their beautiful love affair into something dirty because of their actions. I understand that Kate wanted both Merton and her aunt's money, but I don't like how they used Millie.

Great movie. I should probably read the book to see if the movie was faithful.
