I just watched Blue Valentine.
Before I gush over how handsome Ryan Gosling is and how Michelle Williams gets cuter with age, let me just say, wow.
I am still trying to recover. I feel like my heart has been torn out and stomped on by an angry mob. It will take Aaron years to get the snot and tears off his shirt. Mine, not his. Maybe his too, I don't know.
This movie flashes back and forth in time as it follows the lives of a young couple, Cindy and Dean. It flashes between the then and now, the good and the bad.
I know I rambled on about divorce earlier, but this subject is really touchy for me. No, my parents did not divorce and leave me heartbroken. In fact, it is the opposite.
My parents have a great marriage. While I know people who are divorced, I had never really seen the process.
In this movie, I witnessed two people with an incredible pure love. Then I watched them hate each other.
The director, Derek Cianfrance, does an exceptional job of capturing the pain and torture that results from the ending of a marriage.
This is an exceptional movie. See it. But, be prepared to be in an emotional abyss for days after.
P.S Ryan Gosling is so handsome and Michelle Williams gets cuter with age. There, I gushed.
