Hi,
Greetings....
It's really happy to read that you loved the movie.
For me too, it was just the same, in fact this is one of my all time fav's.... :)
Normally when I watch a movie, I am in it....as I am an immigrant and living away from family, I tend to watch a movie like this just alone, living in it... :)
For me everything just fell so much in place, I literally had a tear in my eye when Dan was singing the last lines of the song he was singing with his brother.
And I don't know was I even breathing while I watched that part.
I was feeling as if I'm chocking.
I had some past memories running in parallel when I watched the movie. About a very dear person to me, who I fell in love but hardly have spoken handful of words.
I personally believe love can happen in many ways...it doesn't need to have a structure. That is what I believe..
Seeing someone really hot and wanting her in bed is not love, I am grown enough to fit my pants and know that. :)
Dan's love here is not something of that kind...
Which in other words, what Dan had wasn't Lust because many claim that here who hates the movie, or even some points the finger to the movie to be too lame and childish, which is sad to read....
If you see the shower scene that he breaks into, justifies that well....
He was not looking at her body, he was just looking at her and enjoying her expressions and just didn't know what he was going to do....he never looked at her body but her face and away, all the time.
Sometime in life you meet people they are different. Hard to put as Hot, but they got something which grabs your attention...
Characteristics like smile, laugh, their expressions all tend to bring you nothing but joy...a feeling that you can hardly relate to or even describe...like sometime they might be smiling with someone else and you smile alone looking at her. The moment you feel connected by the whole heart, and you just feel the heart would explode...
It is painful to see when a ship leaves the shore, and you know that it's carrying someone whom you love, very dear to you and she is never gonna return.
But what's worse is, when you see her day in day out living closer to you, but not with you(with someone else) and also knowing the time is running short because they both might take their hands in marriage soon.
This can feel as adding salt to a wound when you have to be happy for them because she is happy and the couple looks happy. (within inside the feeling of loneliness no matter a million is surrounded by you at that time, you would just feel sad and lonely.)
The sadness rises not because she is happy, or they are Happy.
But because she is making someone else happy, and that is the exact same way you dreamt of being happy with her together.
The word for it may be Jealousy. If that is the case be it.
But then with all these how can you let go of someone whom you love, to someone who is not much serious about relationships?
It's a horrendous situation.
I really think Dan is not a jerk or a bad guy. Because he didn't seem to portray any of those qualities and I firmly believe the movie did 100% justice in acting and selecting it's stars, cast and crew members.
Reason for that is, he knew his brothers character and knew that he is a very easy going person with regard to relationships and Dan in the other hand has got this spark of a feeling to fall in love again after his wife has passed away and 4 years have passed since, on top of that dealing against some rebellious kids.
His immature behavior justifies by that. Because deep down he has been hurt a lot throughout that period of time. Lost his wife. Kids aren't listening his word etc. He just wanted to that spark to keep going... But he just didn't know what to do. Anyone in his place would have done the same. I would have done the same.
It was an entertaining movie and a memorable one for me. Loved every second of it.
This is how I felt about the movie.
Have a good day.
-Peace-
