Romance comedy genre has one thing that I find disturbing. It always show
us that stranger that you know nothing about is worth more than someone that
you had already know for a long time. I mean, it sure gives us an unhealthy illusion.
New strange things do not always mean better right? For me, happily ever
after is just the matter of where we put the ending. But we cannot treat real
life like the movie, right? We cannot put an ending as we pleased. The new and
strange will someday be old and well-known. Well, maybe that illusion is the
purpose of the filmmaker. But I still find it annoying.
But, other than that thing, I actually like the movie, especially
the idea of Secretary of Juliet. It was sweet and remarkable. I mean, it is a fact that women
just want to be listened. And who will listen better than Juliet, the
girl who experience the greatest, but also the most tragic love story ever. I really want to write a letter to Juliet someday, assuming that I will have a love story that worth to be shared with.
And If someone ask me to choose between Bernal and that British guy, I will definitely choose Bernal without any doubt. I mean how can you not choose Gael Garcia Bernal?
The last but not least, I think Verona is waaaaay more romantic than Paris.
