Super love story

Rating: 6/10 (19 June 2013)

An old love story – the boy from a poor family, the girl, a rich one. Her parents want her to marry the rich boy for security, instead of the poor one for love. Although the plot is old, the story is told exceptionally well - very engaging for the audience. The actors are outstanding. Each brings his/her character to life believably. The fine actors draw us into the story making us care about all the individuals involved. The plot also involves an old woman in a nursing home who suffers dementia. The movie tastefully requires the audience to ponder dementia, and the man who loves this woman. Normally dementia would be an unpleasant topic, but again, the fine acting makes us care about the woman and those who love her. This would be a 4-star film were it not for the immoral behavior of two young lovers. Too bad we can't replace that with honor, restraint, and selfless love.
