Movie Pick of The Week!!

Hello folks,
I'm back for another entry....
Theme of the week: Movie Pick of The Week

So the rule is simple, pick any movie that we have watched in the week , it could be an old movie or a recent one, and it could have been watched in the cinema, on the laptop, on television, et cetera....
As long as the movie has been watched during some time in the week...
So, the movie of my choice, THE BODYGUARD!!
Not the new version, but the old one, the one relesed in 1992. Acted by Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner...

The movie was about Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston) and Frank Farmer (Kevin Costner). Rachel is an Oscar- nominated pop star and she was stalked and has received several death threats. So Frank, a former Secret Service agent, was hired to be her bodyguard. Somewhere along the lines, they fall in love with each other, although Frank finally chose to end the affair for fear of not being able to be professional and of compromising his ability to protect her.

The main reason I was called to pick the movie was because of the way it made me felt...
Frank was like super protective of Rachel's safety. Throughout the whole movie you can see how he always watches over her and only thinks about protecting her. I mean, yea he's her bodyguard so that makes it his duty. It started out as that, but into the movie you can see that Frank has fallen for her, and now protecting her wasn't just about doing the job, but also because he really just can't afford to have anything bad happen to her because of his love to her. The way he looks at her, always watching over her..... It just touches my heart. To have someone love her like that, and to always wanna protect her from any harm, and wants her to have all the best things in her life, she is just so lucky. I mean, he knows that he can't provide all of that for her, but at the very least he tries to give her the best of what he can provide to her, by protecting her. Towards the end of the movie, he took a bullet for her, or rather, two if you're really counting.

In today's world where chivalry and gallantry seems to be dead, to see the way he protects her, it just touches my heart. You don't find love like that just about anywhere, much less guys like that. For a person who's heart has been broken into small pieces, and who have lost her faith in love, and any trust in men, I have to say, that I am severely moved. It really touched me, and has rendered me speechless at that moment in time.... I have never had any guy look at me the way he looks at her, and never, have i felt like I was being protected and really cared for by a guy the way he did for her.... But then again, I guess I'm just not the kinda girl guys do that for. I mean, I'm not complaining or anything, who am I to complaint right.... But just after everything, I guess I just feel tired. I'm spent, exhausted, I feel like I'm done with it all. I'm tired of being the one who's protecting, the one who cares, the one who tries my best to understand and be the best of me for someone else.... For once, I wanna be the one being protected for a change, the one being taken care of, the one who is loved, the one who gets the best of someone else. But in the same time, I am such a mess that I can't even begin to put myself in a relationship, can't even commit or even trust at all.... In fact, nowadays, relationship scares me so much that even just talking about the prospect of it makes me wanna cry...... Don't get me wrong, it's not like i regret anything or blames anyone for it. I just, after everything, feels like I have to protect myself from others, and being in a relationship, I can't do that... I'll be open to hurt, and all kinds of pain.... This is not my first heartbreak, but I think that's why I take it so hard this time. 'Cause it has happened before, and in the past I told myself to ignore my instinct to protect myself, and take the leap, give it a chance, it could be different, and then... it happened again. So this time.....

I dunno what might happen in the future. If this heart can heal, if I can heal. In a way, I think I have. Healed from him, recovered from him. But the emotional baggages, the hurt, the damage, it's still there, and I don't believe in fairy tales and happy endings the way I used to.... I can now smile again, and I'm happy, and I love my life, I love the people around me, I enjoy myself..... But when it comes to relationships, I'm scared, like really really scared.... There are all these baggages, all these issues, that makes me a pessimist when it comes to relationships....

But hey, I choose to move on and live my life. So, enough with the stupid rambling that's just gonna make me seem like a loser rite.... Hahahahaha =p
Now, I wanna focus on myself, and my life....
I wanna finish my study, go to work, build my career....
To do my best in everything....
And I also wanna spend my quality time with the people around me, because people are important....
I wanna live my life to the fullest, and be the best person I can be.....

Bye guys,
Till next week..... = )
