I just came back from MB’s place. We’ve been talking about renting some mushy romantic shows to watch together at her place months ago, but somehow we never managed to do so. Guess what? We had our first movie night today, alas. Yeah, busy people huh? What an excuse!
Just to warn you, this entry is neither a movie critique nor a review, in case you’re expecting something like that. I am certainly no expert in this. Anyway, back to the movie.
Love me if you dare is a French production. I had no idea what we were going to watch before hand other than some cheesy romantic show. It was MB’s pick. I began to regret for not remembering any French from my evening class years ago. What a pity!
You should be so ashamed of yourself, Jade! Yeah, I am. :(
Anyway, it is certainly my first time watching the entire movie without understanding any of the dialogues except,
“merci”,
“oui”,
“je t’aime” some simple words. And I guess it is certainly not that helpful to get an Italian friend as a translator who only has 20% French knowledge more than me. Oh, we had subtitles options too; in fact we had four language options EXCEPT English. Unbelievable isn't it? Nevertheless, MB and I enjoyed the movie. I think the soundtrack is pretty cool too. And the thought of watching a foreign movie without understanding its dialogues is pretty fun to me. It just makes me focus more on the acting.
The story was about Julien and Sophie continuously playing a dare game since their childhood. But the game became more bizarre and has even drawn them apart until avoid admitting their love for each other.
MB: I don’t understand. They were so much in love with each other in the beginning. Why did they continue playing the game and even until marrying different people and have kids and then years later still loving each other? Why didn't they just get together from the beginning?
Me: Oh well, love is just complicated. I read this line somewhere yesterday. *wink*We both had a good laugh.
I think you don’t have to make life so complicated if you love and care for someone. Why would you want to make so much outrageous stunts and games? I don’t think that is a good way of showing your love. You may possibly be hurting the person you love unintentionally by doing so.
Love me if you dare. Trust me; I don't need a guy to be
that daring. He doesn't have to be drop-dead gorgeous, super smart or filthy rich too. All I am looking for is a good-hearted man who is always truthful to me. Oh, one more thing, no players or liars please.
PS:
“Ballad for the season” was updated. I hope you’ll like this song. I’ll be back with
“The good old days” Part 2 soon. Seeyeah. :)
