The Vow

On Friday Brian and I were lucky enough to have a date night!  It was much needed.  We went to see "The Vow"  not only was Channing Tatum nice to look at but it was a great movie.  A beautiful love story and very thought provoking. 

Incredibly this movie was based on a true story.  Two people fall in love and then are in a major car accident where the woman loses her entire memory for the last 5 years...their whole entire relationship.  The movie is about their journey back to one another.

I will admit that I cried more than once during the movie and I thought about it the whole way home.  It brought up alot of questions about love and life in general.  Leo, Channing Tatum's, character not only has to go through "losing" his wife because she can't remember him but the challenge of trying to make her fall in love with him again.  It was beautiful to see how he navigated through life after the accident, how he loved her so much that essentially he had to let her go.  It reminded me of that saying "if you love something let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever, if it doesn't, then it was never meant to be."  or another version "If you love something, set it free; if it comes backs it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was."  Those quotes ran through my head several times during the movie.




I get goosebumps watching the trailers!  I can't wait for this to come out on DVD, it is definitely a movie worth watching a second time!
