"This is a movie for aged woman, You won't understand". Those were my mom words. And I wouldn't understand it if I have watched the movie when I was 24. Twenty years have gone by and I find my self surrounded with teenagers, so I must be Francesca's age. The circumstances are perfect to get a better understanding about Francesca and Robert. As women we fill our bags with dreams and expectations and desires and we live the life we dream and suddenly we realize we are living another ones dream, and we use that bag to nurture our everyday. Robert was living a no commitment life until he realizes that " this kind of certainty comes only once, and never again, no matter how many lifetimes you live". Francesca finds herself acting like another woman, yet feels more herself than ever. that kicks me, we should be living life at it's best; with empowerment.
"So here I am walking around with another person inside of me. Though I think I put it better the day we parted when I said there is a third person we have created from the two of us. And I am stalked now by another entity." That is the way every couple should feel about their relationship. Every couple should work on a daily basis to feel these way toward one another. As the marriage ages we should be loving our life partner and feel their hearts and get to know them each day as we mutate on a daily basis.
"When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children, in one way her life begins but in another way it stops, You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you are expected to move again, only you don't remember what moves you because no one has asked in so long . Not even yourself." These were Francesca's words, and my mom added: " You should always remember that before being a mother you were a wife, and before becoming a wife you were a woman that lived to become what others were loving about you, never stop nurturing your inner woman and your couple life, you don't want to find out that you lost yourself"
"If only we lost our minds and arrived at our hearts." then we would be less worried for many things that really don't matter.
"A much as I want you and want to be with you and part of you. I can't tear myself away from the realness of my responsibilities, if you force me, physically or mentally, to go with you, as I said earlier. I cannot fight that. I don't have the strength, given my feeling for you. In spite of what I said about not taking the road away from you. I'd go because of my own selfish wanting of you. But please don't make me. Don't make me give this up, my responsibilities. I cannot do that and live with the thought of it. If I did leave now, those thoughts would turn me into something other than the woman you have come to love". There nothing else to be added in this paragraph because it's all said.
"What Robert and I had could not continue if we were together, And what Richard and I shared would vanish if we were apart. But how I wanted to share this." it was meant to last 4 days in their schedule and a lifetime in their hearts.
Theses are the quotes that hit me the most. My eyes are swollen...
