You know that feeling you get when you take 15 minutes picking just the right movie to rent that will move you when you sit at home and watch it? The movie that you hope makes you think afterwards? I picked one tonight. I actually picked 4. Two romantic comedies, and two action type movies. But one that I just finished watching, it made me think.

'The Brave One'

In this movie, a woman that Jodie Foster plays as Erica is just about to get married. She's madly in love with her fiance, and they're out walking the dog in New York City. They reach a tunnel, and kiss for a moment. The dog runs through the tunnel, and so they go after him. A small group of some sort start messing with them, and then Erica and her fiance are attacked. She makes it alive, and her future husband doesn't make it. She is alone, and finds that she wants to seek justice. She feels as though she's lost herself, and has become a diferent person. A stranger. She buys a gun. For protection? Or to get back at the people that ruined her life and took her lover away? In the movie, she seeks justice. And it really made me love the person in my life twice as much, and that he could be gone at any moment.

This movie made me miss my husband, who is currently out of state with a friend. It made me remember that if something doesn't go right and I feel the need to say something to him, to just bite my tongue and remember that it wouldn't make a difference to correct him on what I believe he does wrong, but to just look into his kind eyes, and love every hair on his head and every flaw he has come to have. And it made me want to light a candle and just lay in my bed and think completely of my lover, and everything that I adore in him. And the candle that I'd light would be for all of the poeple out there that have lost someone to a tragedy.

...I hope that if you are with someone that you love, someone that makes your butterflies flutter when you lock lips, that you remember how much you love them when you have a fight. And that at least death doesn't seperate you from that person...that love holds you together firmly...

Goodnight.
