Love never dies

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2011)

There are not a lot of movies that can awake powerful emotions within me, but this one certainly did it. From the very beginning I had a good feeling about it (just one scene with James Garner and I was bought). First of all, this movie has a marvelous tale. The way it develops is just magical. The shift from the past to the present et vice versa is done so well that not once have I regretted it. I was so consumed by the story that I simply didn't want this movie to end. The acting is superb! Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were brilliant in their roles. The aging of their characters for teenagers to grown persons, I had a feeling, was done without a bit of difficulty at their end. The characters they played simply fitted them in every way. But, I must say that Garner has, as had Gosling, magnificently played his role. The emotions. That is the most powerful asset of this movie. Happiness, sadness, love... It's all there. The movie touches one not because of the scene itself but because of everything one sees before the scene. The movie made me remember my love, and it made me cry. The only reason I gave it 9/10 is the predictability. Somewhere at the middle of the movie I just knew how it would end, but I did not expect the ending itself. Watch this with your girlfriend/wife/husband/boyfriend and remember that true love never dies.
