So I got my ideas of true love from movies like Serendipity. I can sift through the cheesiness factor and its not that I ignore the fact that there is a script and that is why John Cusack says the things he does, the truth is someone wrote those lines so someone somewhere must feel the way I do about someone else. I think those lines about you, you silly man, trying to be so smart,so smug in mocking the romantic concepts my socialization has instilled in me. Well I got my concepts of family from The Cosby Show. And The Gilmore Girls. And sappy Seventh Heaven. And the Steve Martin movie where his daughter gets married. Which would you rather me believe in anyway, loving people sifting through awkward and difficult times but ultimately always realizing they love each other most because they are lucky and they are family? Or silly absentee mothers who are certainly good people but don't really know how to be mothers cause they got pregnant too young and married the wrong men? And achingly broken stepfathers who it would take thousands of dollars in therapy to understand when the most you can hope to do is surface from the rubble intact? I'll take Bob Saget rubbing Candace Cameron's back in an touchingly produced father-daughter moment. I'll take the lines, the lighting, the words, that though manufactured by someone somewhere mean that even the world's worst problems can be fixed in 60 minutes or less (give or take a commercial break) if only you love each other enough. |
