Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 > An Affair to Remember just struck me as silly and manipulative (sorry to > those that love this movie; I know they are legion). Oh, I am so easily manipulated by romantic movies (love movies). I know they're leading me down a path, but I skip along willingly. I saw Titanic in the theatre 6 times, 5 of them by myself, and bawled my head off each and every time. I don't like a lot of the really formula contemporary ones, for example I will never go see Maid In Manhattan -- I hate Cinderella stories. TOO transparent, even for me! LOL. What struck me about Bridges is that my mother is stuck in a life very much like Meryl Streep's character, only has never cheated. So the loss of what COULD be in that film so mirrors my own mother's life that it just hit me in the face. I consider that story to be a tragic one.
