The Holiday

Wow, I don't know if it was just the right time but I actually enjoyed watching The Holiday. It made me laugh, smile and of course, it made me cry too (which was quite expected). I thought about seeing this in theater but I was not really a fan of anyone so I did not push for it. Oh well, I like all the main casts and even the other casts in the movie. Jude Law was such a charmer in this movie and the way he looked and stared would melt any woman's heart. Awww, I did not really like him before but I guess I do now. I was actually surprised too that I was fond of watching Jack Black and Kate Winslet (those two were the reason why I didn't see this in the theater actually) but they proved me wrong. Cameron Diaz, she never fails me in all her movies. It's so fun watching her on whatever role she portrays. I must say she's my fave actress now. I love the two kids, Sophia and Olivia. I also like the old man, Arthur.

I've got a lot of thinking, realization and imagination in between while watching this. I realized too that we will all be old in some point in our lives, we would all go back to being simple, and being appreciated and a smallest show of care mean a lot. I actually want to talk and be a friend to old people after watching this. There's a lot of wisdom to get from them and I think it will make me appreciate life more. Come to think of it, that was how I felt when I checked out YMCA two weeks ago and had a short talk with an old guy who has been working out there for over 35 years. I really want to explore my community and meet and befriend all sorts of people.


The movie just really covered the holiday season but there's a lot of lessons in life that you will realize. I love it. I recommed you guys to watch it. I figured I should go alone somewhere far this holiday and be a complete stranger there. It must be a nice adventure to get to know more of myself too than just being an adopted member to a friend's family.
