Watch to remember

Not a movie but life. Amazingly simple and deep! They were in love 9 years ago. Now when they've met again, there's a lot to remember and tell each other. Jess (Ethan Hawke) is already married and more – he's a father and Celine's dating a guy she really loves who's fortunately out of town right now. At least this is what they tell each other. You see, some parts are really left to our imagination. Perhaps Celine's just trying to prove she's a strong girl to live without Jess saying she has had many lovers after him and each of them after getting married said "thank you" to her for "teaching love" as she says. Perhaps Jess lies either about kids but his marriage and Julie's new love are probably true. The question is could they refuse all that for each other. And here imagination's again switched on – how can they be sure they really should do it. I mean 9 years is a long term, taking into account they didn't really get known each other in the past. Depends on what you'd like everything to turn out. From the very beginning we don't even hope they'll do anything but cup of coffee together because Jess usually watches the time not to miss the plane. At first they behave just like friends, realize very soon what they really need from each other and later regret they couldn't get in touch all that time. In the end we're almost sure they'll make love at least, but for a movie without a single kiss-scene it'll be over before the culmination starts. The ending is specific like the whole movie and everything in it. It's a movie about the human being you're married with is not necessarily to be the one you are really in love with. Nice to watch if you miss somebody. Well, nice anyway. Imagination required! If you want to believe they've really been dreaming of each other all these years, believe love's the strongest thing, you have the opportunity here. End it using your own discretion. The film is not much of humor but it gives good mood. The best thing is we'll see here a photo of Julie's childhood. You must see this. Even if you're not in love yet, you'll want to be. Highly recommended! 10 out of 10
