Well, I am not the usual romance movie-goer but The Busy Bee had been wanting to see more in-depth movies so off we went to The Cathay Cineplex yesterday afternoon. I must say the movie is well supported by the seasoned acting of Richard Gere and Diane Lane.
Richard plays a top-notch plastic surgeon who came to seek forgiveness from a family whose member died on his operating table due to a bizzare one-fifty-thousand allergy to the anaesthetic used. He was a man of great pride and it took him a lot before he could finally realized that all he needed was a genuine "sorry" instead of rationalizing the incident in such a cold and objective way.
Diane Lane plays a mother of two who was going through a difficult situation with a wayward husband. As she overwhelmed herself with the responsibility as a mother, she gradually forgot about living her own life as a whole individual and began resenting her life in a deep, secretive way.
The two of them met at a loding inn near the sea and a romance blossomed in the middle of a terrible storm. Both eventually helped each other to grow stronger to face their own inner demons and became much better persons afterwards.
It's a sweet movie about growth, courage, love and tenacity against the changes in life. We all wanted to be good but perhaps many of us were too stubborn to change what we have been so used to and BE the person we genuinely craved to be.
