They call it puppy love, or teenage love. Is it true love?
The elders would say no. But everyone have passed through that phase of life
when falling in love, be it puppy love is the best thing that could ever happen.
The euphoria from it is unbearable, magical and an epitome of happiness. Admit
it or not we all have fallen madly in love. It ruined our rationality, sanity
and good judgment.
But then again we must grow up and know what defines a good
love story that is immortalized by a movie. What then is a good love story? The
Bible said love is patient, love is kind. The verse went on describing what
love is. There will be times when love is pure madness and demands a lot of
sacrifice. To demonstrate it in a movie or in a book entails the responsibility
to address the need to portray it properly. True love is not puppy love. True
love is not all about giving but also compromise.
In the movie, the emotions were magnified, such as the pain,
the feeling of being in love and the anticipation of what is yet to happen.
There are scenes where James Reid was in slow motion four times. Maybe they
just want to emphasize how hot he is- no argument to that.
There is no reality
in it but the fact that it may have been written by a 17-year old who has no
idea yet of what love really is. Is it a fun movie? Yes, if have nothing else
better to do. Did it portray reasonable characters? Maybe, based on the level
of maturity of highschool students it is reasonable.
So what now? Was it a good movie? One word- highschool.
