Shana
& I decided to add a new segment to our blog, about our favourite movies.
Here is our first suggestion: “letters
to Juliet”
This romantic movie is definitely a women's movie but still it isn’t, in my
opinion, kitschy.
Letters
to Juliet tells the story of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), a young, pretty and
talented young woman living in New York. She has everything to be happy but she
isn’t really satisfied with her life and her relationship. When she travels
with her fiancé Victor (Gael Garcia) to the beautiful city of Florence she
hopes to find out what is missing in her life. One day, she finds a 50-year-old
letter written from a woman called Claire (Vanessa Redgrave) to Juliette. In
fact and I didn’t even know that, it exists in Florence a wall where heartbroken
women can leave letters to Juliet and ask her for help. Afterwards, a group of dedicated
women, “Juliet’s secretaries”, answer the letters and try to comfort these
women. Sophie is immediately fascinated by the sad letter and decides to answer
it. A few days later, Claire suddenly appears in “Juliet’s office” accompanied
by her grandson Charlie (Christopher Egan) who isn’t exited at all with the
situation. Claire wants to say thank you to Sophie because all the years she has
been waiting for an answer and couldn’t simply forget what happened. After a long conversation, both
women decide to look after Claire’s first and big love Lorenzo, the reason of
Claire’s letter.
A
funny and emotional journey begins for the 3 and at the end Sophie finally
accepts that she has to change her life and face the truth..
This
movie shows us that it is never too late to fight for love and that sometimes
you need to travel and meet new people to understand what you really need in
life. I Love “letters to Juliet” and I have to confess that I cried at the end
of the movie when Claire finally read her letter out loud. You want to know if
she found her Lorenzo? Well then go ahead, watch the movie and set the
handkerchiefs ready ;)
