Sweeping one off one's feet


Eventho mystery/thriller movies like Swordfish, Minority Report or The Sixth Sense, or dramas like Gladiator, Ru Pin Hua or Twin Peaks r good, but as good as they r, they couldn't give tis wonderful no-words-can-describe on-top-of-the-world attachment as happy ending romance movies. I dun mean movies like Butterfly Lovers, Fly Me to Polaris, Ah Lang's Story, Remains of The day, Cold Mountain or Lust, Caution. Those, on the other hand, give either an empty n miserable &/or a disturbing feeling.


I'm talking abt stories tat leave a lingering n contented feeling. He must be protective like Shin in Princess Hours, defeated like Darcy in Pride n Prejudice, blind/attentive like Michael in When A Man Loves A Woman, needed like Sam in Sleepless in Seattle, believing yet lost like Ted Mosby in HIMYM (more a sitcom, but i js love him!) n vulnerable like Howl in Howl's Moving Castle. Yes, i believe in fairy tales in movies. Great happy-ending ones. Like wat Briony said in Atonement "Why not give them the happy ending tat they deserve?"
