I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Thanks for the memories!
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Coming from someone who has lost far too many people I love in the last 5 years, I would've love to have kept that love alive a little longer. I guess we all do in our own ways like I recently found a letter dating back to 1997 from my best friend which was an amazing feeling. Probably what prompted me to watch this movie. Death is hard but seeing the love that goes on & on is gratifying. I would recommend thos movie.
I didn't feel much of a connection between the characters. I feel this movie is a bit too overrated. The characters could have played a more intimate role, and at times I felt emotions were a bit forced. Lovely green Irish backgrounds however.
Holly and Gerry form a lovely couple. No matter the problems they face, they still manage to get along with a big smile on their faces. Sadly, Gerry dies from a brain tumor, but, thinking in advance, he writes her a couple of letters that are to be sent after his death, this way, helping her cope with the new life without him, while guiding her, step by step.It's a romantic story which tragically ends much too early, leaving a great scar on her sensitive soul. The fact that he planned the whole letter thing will prove to be a much needed light of hope, helping a lot in the near future. It's intensely dramatic but it manages to get things right as it presents how life was before and how it and how it slowly recovers after the tragic death. It also provides a warming and satisfying finale which heals most of the harm nature had provided. It's a must see for romance fans!
Like an Irish theme pub,full of shillelaghs,four - leaf clover,Guiness and bar staff who insist on making shamrocks on the head of your pint of porter. There is even a man dressed as a leprechaun. Only the Americans could believe that an Ireland like this actually exists. John Ford perpetrated a crime against Irishness with "The Quiet Man" with Sean T'ornton and "God Bless all here" from a brave rebel(or murdering terrorist according to one's point of view) and "P.S.I love you" merely perpetuates the stereotype. Mr G.Butler is the wild Irish Rover in New York who suffers from a fatal brain tumour so swiftly it might almost appear rude. His Coleen is Miss H.Swank in a role Miss J.Roberts must have thanked god she was too old for. Prior to his unfortunate demise he wrote a series of letters to his widow which are delivered throughout the film in some mysterious fashion that is only mysterious if you are under ten years of age in which case let me stop you and warn you that there are one or two rather raunchy scenes your mom and dad might not want you to see. Miss Swank follows these letters to the letter - if you get my drift and ends up in old Oireland having sex with one of her late hubby's best mates.Way to go,eh? It will surprise nobody that this bloke eventually ends up with her(and her mother who is casting covetous looks at his fellow farm worker) so it all ends up happily and predictably. Is it just because I'm a bloke?
