Remember me

Remember me is a GREAT movie, I really enjoyed it. It is my kind of movie. It is a passionate love story, deep in its message, surprisingly unexpected.
This movie is about a boy and a girl who have had a tough life. She witnessed the murder of her mother in the subway when two men rob them. She was just a kid, so she had to grow up without a mother. His story was very hard too; his brother killed himself right after starting working with their father. Their father was a very busy man who pushed then very hard to be as successful as him, but didn´t spend much time with them or gave them love. So the boy blamed his father for the death of his brother.
The girl and the boy meet because the girl´s father put the boy in jail (he was a police) unfairly so the boy kind of in a revenge and because of a bet with his friend asks her out. After seeing each other for some time they fell in love. One night she gets drunk with him and doesn´t go home to sleep and of course his father was very worried and upset. They have a very ugly discussion and she leaves her house to go live with him. While they live together they start a very passionate romance. They share their experiences with the death of their relatives; they really could understand what each other was feeling. That really strong thing they have in common creates a deep connection that will get them until the end even after a lot of difficulties.
Illusion, suffering, passion, understanding- these mean true love for me. I think it is great when you meet a person that is probably as screwed up as you because that person can really get you, won’t judge you and you can actually learn from him/her. That was the part that felt really related with.
The end of the movie is really unexpected. Totally recommend it!

Plan B

Plan B is a movie about a girl who feels lonely and thinks that love won´t happen for her. Being afraid of staying alone for the rest of her live she decided to have a baby on her own. She goes to the doctor to get an artificial insemination, she is very sure about her decision and se is very excited.

When she goes out of the doctor it starts raining a lot so she stops a taxi, when she gets in at the same time a very cute guy enters the taxi from the other door. Both of them thought that they were first and the other was trying to steal their taxi. He was upset; she, furious. It was an unpleasant moment but there was a strong attraction between them.

They saw each other again and he asked her out. They had a few dates and fell in love. Then is when she finds out she is pregnant and doesn´t want the baby anymore.
Like all Hollywood romantic movies the end up together after breaking up for a while and the live happily ever after. The movie was funny and entertaining, but just to see it in your house, not worth going to the movies.

I think that what is interesting about this movie is that it shows us the reality many women around the world are feeling. Most of us want to be successful professionally before getting married and finding love is not our first priority. I think we want to prove the world that we don´t need a man to survive, and of course it is truth. But I wonder, is it our ego influencing our decision to have a partner who we can spend our lives with? Is it possible to have both a successful career and a good man by our side? I don´t know, but it seems to me that now most of the women fully realized are single.
