Beautiful movie!
I really liked this movie. I like movies about human relationships and how they can profoundly affect the indivuals in them. This movie does more than that though. The relationship in this movie also affected millions of people. We had a politican, who has the means to help and a woman hurting that can help him be more.
The fact she holds her pain in and only let's it go in a careful way, not to let others know she is hurting makes what was done by the politicans even more profound. I mean, her brief outburst showed little personal emotion, but was still scorned for being emotional. The fact Lawerence gave up his job, because of her outburst (polite as it was), made the outburst and the presence of any emotion in politics that more forbidden. In turn, how Gina feels meant more to me, because it wasn't overplayed (little melodrama).
Using Kelly MacDonald and that cute Scottish accident was absolute perfect casting here. Even a delicate flower has roots that can affect the others around it.
That scene at the airport gets me everytime I watch it. The heir of mystery being unfolded and how the mystery really isn't a mystery at all-it's human nature, makes me tingle inside everytime I think about it. Beautiful when you think about it.
Absolutely wonderful movie.
