Luckily I was alone in the living room of my apartment, because
finish watching that movie I could not stop a tear from falling for me
the face seized by the emotion of the end.
The problem was that it was a romantic movie and it
supposes that a worthy man should not cry in them. Must smile, with
male sufficiency, and say while shaking his head comprehensively
that of "women ..." That's why I was grateful for my loneliness at that moment,
Well, my reaction was not exactly that.
After a few moments of emotional recovery my mind started to
analyze the argument of the film. The very original storyline consisted of
the doubts that the protagonist had about which of two boys to give their love.
One of them was rich and wicked, and despite how much fun it is when
One is of such character, according to the movie he was miserable. The other poor and good,
and in spite of how boring it usually is when one is of this other character, according to
the film was happy.
The girlfriends of the protagonist were divided in two well-defined sides to the
time to advise you. Some warned him to be careful as love comes out
through the window when the fridge is empty -or something similar- ... What if the
future of the children ... That if she deserved to live like a queen ... In
definitively, that he left with the rich man.
The other side, on the other hand, told him that the important thing was to follow the
dictates of the heart ... What if the man of his life ... But, above all,
insisted on three words that apparently sum up a million years of
evolution of man, and brainy studies on human psychology: I KNOW
YOURSELF. And after this final argument the protagonist of the film
I ran in slow motion, on a deserted beach, to hug with the poor boy
while a sweet ballad sounded; and it is there, precisely, where they begin
the knots in the spectators' throat. It's understandable, probably
you too would have passed after contemplating such a tender scene.
Finally, a while later, after overcoming the anguish caused by emotion,
The transcendental questions began in my restless mind. Actually,
What is that of being oneself? Does anyone know what it means? Or better,
Does anyone know how you can stop being yourself ...?
On the other hand, does anyone know why that argument leads the girl to choose
the poor boy? And finally, does anyone know where I can find the beach
Lonely from the movie? I would appreciate any information to this last
respect.
As the human mind is as it is, some speculations lead to others.
Why all the films end when the protagonists decide
get marry? Why does none start right after the wedding? What's going on
after?
These questions took me a long time to reflect on, so that
bore you with the downtime used in those reflections I the
I jump and enter fully into matter.
Look, love goes through four phases: falling in love, crisis, betrayal
and abandonment. It is precisely when we are immersed in the first
phase when we sign the marriage contract. During the other three phases
It is when we regret having done it.
The statistics are devastating in this respect. Sixty percent of the
couples are separated before ten years. Why? Because passion - it's law
natural- has been extinguished.
As a consequence I asked myself: Has it always been like this?
Going to the source of supreme wisdom -Zoilo, who is very cultured
since he reads books- I found the answer: romanticism; the damn
So overrated romanticism is the culprit.
This was the one that, in short, was introducing the custom of "do you say that
you love me and you want me? ... Well, sign here. " And then it started to happen that
When "you love and want me" disappeared, the only thing left was the
marriage contract and the mortgage on the house.
In a mental pirouette, worthy of the best athlete of the Cirque du Soleil, I tried
imagine what a movie would be like to start at the end. That is, by
Wedding. Predictably once the honeymoon is over, and that the sexual fury
had calmed down, the first symptoms of future problems would begin
when he noticed in the next neighbor attributes that until then
They had gone unnoticed; and she, on the other hand, will find them in the
gardener. We would already be facing predictable maritime storms.
But it is curious to observe the difference of behaviors that in these
Critical situations have men and women. In the movie two of the friends
councilors were divorced, and while their ex-husbands reacted as
who hides a sin and feels guilty, they, I have the theory that
They bring a factory manual to apply in the cases of separations. Namely, if
it is the woman who leaves the couple they will all say unanimously that he had it
deserved, because he did not pay enough attention to it; if the matter has been that the
girl has run away with another guy, they will justify it
