I just finished reading Bridges of Madison County yesterday. I didn't know that the story was soooo good. I've heard about it but majority of the people I ask tells me that they didn't enjoy the movie that much. Probably because they weren't in to mushy and romantic movies. Well, lesson learned, I wasn't asking the right people. hehe :)
During the first few pages of the book, I wasn't that drawn into it. It was mostly descriptions of the place, the house, the place, moreso, the bridges.
What finally hit me is the part when they've already made the connection. I guess it is really possible. We can meet people for the first time yet once we meet them, it's as if we were living our lives to go towards that person. Labo ba? Well, sometimes, we wonder, what is the purpose of our lives? We go through everything as if we're in a maze. We know we are going somewhere but we just don't know exactly where.
It's just sad that they didn't end up together. How sad it must have been, growing old, knowing that there is this person out there, someone you loved, but for some reasons, you had to let go of. Life is weird. Things do happen for a reason, some reasons are so complicated they are so hard to fathom. Sometimes, everything seems to be okay, in a blink of an eye, things turn out bad, real bad.
Francesca and Robert just had four days. Some couples may take more than that to reach the peak of happiness that they had. The number of days or months or even years really wouldn't matter. It's always the quality of time that you spend together.
I just hope I have what it takes to be a Francesca to John, and vice versa.
