"Closer" came about a week ago in a sense as the one I've been waiting for and attracted to, it was about the complicated relationship and affairs between two couples in London. In the endless tangling between love at first sight and then again the many royalty-testing first sights, two sets of love birds struggles on the edge of trust and honesty, the lure of strangers versus the commitment between lovers.
Without the least chance for doubts, four most outstanding entertainers (Julia Roberts/Jude Law/Natalie Portman/Clive Owen) of Hollywood sure accomplished the Oscar deserving performances and the perfect portraits of those four lonesome souls lost in the concept of intimacy and the rush of emotions. To me it was the struggling of exploring for the right distance with someone you love and the perfect amount of trusting-forgiving-compassion needed for the affection to survive.
Men are no saints, and sure there would be mistakes for every grownup to remember. But when it comes to love, those are no longer of any importance any more. Just forgive and be forgiven, trust and let trust, love and let love. If love is actually a rose as sang in ballads, then care for it now with compassion for the thrones; don't ever turn your back on it because that is what roses perish for.
Something's gotta be closer to cherish, and something's gotta give for love to grow strong. When I was still deep in wander about the positive attitude for emotions and relations, Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton amazed me by their splendid performance of the two lovely elderly who dueled and cared for each other.
I totally applaud the Globe Award for Diane not only for her wonderfully lively portrait of the novel writer in love, more because of the spirit she was bearing towards love and its unavoidable pains.
I vividly recall her words for her daughter in the show that no matter how painful it is crying and being tortured by eagerness in love, one would still not regret what has already happened because it is the most true and meaningful experiences of life. And a flash brightened up my sky, I was no longer left in doubt “closer” gave me. And together, those two amazing pieces of art made my day in this beautiful fall season.
I know more than not, some love was destined to be without blessings, and more than never some relationship would never be chanted splendidly as in movies, but love is actually closer a private treasure, just come to the heart of the one to care for , something's gotta make the day, too.
