Today I learned that no matter how many romantic dramas/comedies one watches, they never get old. Ever. I re-watched the Lucky One for the 2nd time, and liked it even better the second. Some people may argue that the plot lacks a point, but i think Nicholas Sparks books and movies teach many important things about life. Yes, this may sound very cheesy, but i think that the way the characters are portrayed in the lucky one is what makes them so perfect. Just like in Dear John (which i have written about because of darling Savannah), the two men are soldiers in the US army. I think that all soldiers are amazing, not because of their looks (although in the movies, Channing Tatum, and Zac Efron NAIL it but not the point :)) but because of their dedication and loyalty to their country. Living in Israel, going to the army is such a natural subject to talk about, no one shies away from the question. Here, it is mandatory, and up until a certain point i didnt know how i felt about that. I still dont know how i feel about it. I know that war is dangerous, and every soldier that comes on the train makes me feel even safer. That's probably why in both movies, the people fall for the soldiers; because these people have amazing characteristics and qualities. Every day they are at war, they put their life at risk so that we can have our shots at living-excuse the pun-Not only are they brave, but they re dependable, trustworthy, clever, independant, and able to keep a clear head during the most dire of situations. I personally think that if asked that question who is a real man, i think it is a guy who has participated in some form of an army. Because being in the army really makes you appreciate everything you have, and the knowledge that nothing can be taken for granted. I think it is one of the most brave things men or women can do, and i know this is going to sound weird, but without a doubt, i want to eventually marry someone who was in the army. Basically, i just think it is an amazing and courageous thing that one can do. Maybe im too hopped up on Nicholas Sparks books, but that's what i think.
Anyways, it's 1 in the morning now, and i think im going to go to sleep, because tomorrow i cannot let myself spend another day in bed. Not that i dont love days like these, but i need to actually go outside and create my own story, not just follow stories from Dear John, The Lucky One, Safe Haven, etc. However amazing and wonderful these movies may be.
Thats it for today:) have an amazing spring break!
