8Track Love Movie Playlist
My favorite song from the movie: Truly, Madly, Deeply by Savage Garden
Why I love the movie: Some people question the ability of young people to love for real. They call it puppy love, a crush. They minimize it and say you'll love many times in your life, this is only the first time. I think we forget what it's like to be that young and to give everything we have to love. We are not yet jaded as we withhold aspects of ourselves. We havn't learned how to play games yet with love. When we are young, we are trusting and generous with our emotions and showing them. We're fearless as we jump. We are simply - free.
This movie shows the beauty of young love. It shows how love can change us, make us better people. It shows that yes, another person can be responsible for our happiness with just their presence in our life. It also shows the wrenching sadness of watching someone that we love who is ill. And their process of death. But it does it in such a way as to make life and even the end of it a joy to behold because of unselfish acts in being there for someone, in making those last days special, making dreams come true.
Most adults can watch this movie and be taught a thing or two about true love, how pure it can be. What it means to really put someone else before yourself. If we allow it to while we watch, it can take us back to our own first love and being young, remembering when maybe we were a better version of ourselves because we were innocent & vulnerable.
