I was born in the 80's, far passed the Beatles' time, far passed Bob Dylan's time. I never experienced war, nor did I get myself into psychedelic music. However something mysterious, irresistible about this movie that has its power over me. I guess it's LOVE.
Parents' love for their kids.
Family shares the one and only unconditional love among themselves. Parents, no matter how crossed they are at their children, they can never manage to turn the kids away. The love is so strong that parents can sacrifice anything, and I mean ANYTHING, to save the lives of their children.
This hurts me a bit. Because it reminds me of how ungrateful I was at my parents. I mean I love them so much. They are the most important thing in my life. But I feel guilty that I sometimes took the love they gave me for granted. I remember the times when dad was waiting to take me home outside the school, standing in the roaring wind and the freezing snow. And I remember the satisfying smile when he recognised my face out of a thousand others. I remember the frown in between mum's brows when I was sick, and her comforting hug whenever I felt down. These memories just seem so precious and sweet especially when even regular visits to the parents seem to be a heaven-like luxury. No wonder why I cried at the movie. I guess I just wouldn't know what it would be like if a similar thing happened to me. Would I even get a chance to tell my parents that I love them more than anything else in the world?
Romantic Love.
True love is the purest, most sacred feeling ever in the human history. The boosts of the world economy and the mind-blowing development of technology make many people somehow superficial, money-oriented, and sometimes indifferent. People complain that they cannot find true love any more, they blame everyone else for being too cautious and selfish in love. But have they thought about themselves? Do they really trust the other person with their bank account password? Are they really willing to open up completely and let the other person in?
Gabriel, had the purest feelings towards the girls he loved. That made the word LOVE suddenly sound so much more innocent and clean. Yes he did not have short-term memories, and yes he was not considered healthy, but I dare say he possessed the most ability to love. Because his love for the girls was not contaminated by money or matter desire. He may not be able to remember them, but he had loved, over and over again.
Really doesn't want this to sound corny, but i'm extremely emotional at this time point. Fingers crossed i'm not having menopause atm lol. Absolute LOVE for this movie. :)
