Reaction: Return to Me


Sean watched my ultimate favorite chick flick last night.

What did he think of it? His thoughts follow:

Good movie.. but so far removed from reality. I screamed at my TV more than once: "This would never happen!!" But again.. a nice feel good film!Why do women like it? Well, that's easy.. It's a beautiful story. Very touching. Guy's wife dies and he winds up falling in love with the transplant patient who gets her heart. Really beautiful, but again I say.. "This would never happen!!."Here comes a big disconnect... It was a beautiful story, but as far as a walk away lesson, moral, etc -- it didn't happen for me.. because (one more time).. "This would never happen!!" Mandy?

I think women think that it may actually happen! (this is Mandy speaking) Maybe deep down we know that it could never be...but we are still able to connect in a way that men might not...yes, when we have to relay the plot it sounds ridiculous coming out of our mouths, and yet we still love it.

I think that may be why women watch soap operas...it is an escape. The stories are crazy as the day is long but they connect to their characters...I don't know - I don't get why my husband loves James Bond movies...those whould never happen, but he owns 'em all :)
