Review of Alex

Alex (1992)
8/10
Inspiring, sad movie
15 September 2000
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILER ALERT 'Alex' is a very sad movie. I always find it very sad in any movie when true love is wrecked by one party dying. That's even worse than 'Romeo and Juliet,' because then at least you get the idea that since they're both dead, they're together. But when Andy dies Alex is all alone. Great. So how can you go on after a thing like that? Well, that's where the inspiring part comes in, when Alex learns to accept Andy's death and keep up her dream. Andy was a large part of that dream, I'm sure, but everyone dies, and we the living can only accept it when the people we love die, and try to keep our life together. This movie isn't the best I've ever seen, but it was worth watching, if only to make me sad enough to think about life. Anyway, if you like swimming, you'll probably enjoy it (swimming in tears, that is).
