Romance

The Lake House, what can I say? Another spoiled commercial Hollywood happy ending movie? I don't want to judge the movie itself because I am very sure lots of people will do it for us and much more professionally. They story was good and I suspect that the original South Korea one was a tragedy because that is just so South Korean (the one I watched was the Hollywood remake). After the movie, however, I have got a big question mark: is such romance really possible to take place in real life, of course not the time part (if you watched it, you will know what I mean).
A man falls in love with a woman through letters; plus a dance and a kiss. For this he is keeping a promise for years. For this, he is paying his life. Are there people actually buying this or is it just me that stars to lose faith in romance? I believe in romance. A candle dinner is what I call it a romance. A Valentine's Day present is what I call it a romance. However, a story that two people are like soul mates and are coming to meet from thousands away won’t convince me.
Ironically, I claim that I am aware of the cruelty of world and not believing such romance that has died in the 80's films with the dust but I find in my true mind, I am waiting for it. I am actually waiting for one. I am saying that I do not believe soul mate. I do not. Monica in Friends made a very sensible statement that there are no people who are just made for each other. We work for our relationship and sometime, we work really hard. But I am finding that me, right here, right now is waiting for one. It has been so long that this has become my excuse of why I am still complaining my bachelorhood.
But again, I still enjoyed the happy ending though a sad one would've made the movie much better.
