okay, the movie was not as good as i had hoped for it to be cos the first few years of the movie were a little draggy and contain few significant events, like i felt that there could be better and more crucial events than those that were being shown. but towards the end the pace picked up and i got really absorbed in the movie. so despite the poor ratings and ignoring the slight disappointment i had felt initially, i love this movie nevertheless because Anne Hathaway is the female lead here she's soooooooooo prettayyy (reason why i wanted to watch this movie in the first place)!! and plus the male lead, Jim Sturgess is pretty cute too, esp at the later years! and more importantly, it's a bitterly sweet romance so i was kinda charmed by it (it reminds me of Where Rainbow Ends by Cecelia Ahern).

and i cried like nobody's business please! )':

even when the credit roll was shown, i was still slightly sobbing and trying to regain my composure from all the crying. and when liang saw the state that i was in, she gave me an exasperated look.

but people feel sad for the turnout of the movie mah! and moreover i had not expected a sad ending too. ):

even though the changes in the movie were subtle, like there weren't a lot of climaxes, somehow i could still feel the movie and empathise with the characters. it felt as though i have witnessed my two close friends being separated from each other forever like that! ):

and i got pretty emotional upon realising that their separation is permanent. ):

5 minutes after the movie ended i still felt like crying. that was how affected i was.

am considering if i should read the book now that i've watched the movie but decided to wait a bit long ago. i need to internalise what i've watched first.

and btw, i suddenly feel like having a movie marathon of novel-based movies eg dear john, the notebook and yes! a walk to remember... but like usual, i'll probably never get around to watching them. =/
