Love, Rosie: A Must-Watch Rom-Com
What is it to fall in love knowing timing is not your friend? The film Love, Rosie is a perfect depiction that in life, timing is everything.
Love, Rosie: More than a Rom-Com Movie
From the adaption of Cecilia Ahern’s 2014 bestselling novel entitled “Where Rainbow End”, the charming romantic comedy, Love, Rosie follows the stories of childhood best friends Rosie (Lily Collins) and Alex (Sam Claflin) as they sway around their hidden feelings for each other for many years.
Growing up with an unbreakable bond built by deep understanding, appreciation, trust, and shared ambition, the two decides to leave their boring suburban English lives behind for a bright future that Boston has to offer. Rosie wants to pursue hotel management to own her hotel in the future and for Alex, it is a scholarship to Harvard in order for him to study medicine.
Even though the story is quite unpredictable, the character’s journey, loaded with ill-fated circumstances and misunderstanding makes it interesting. The film is more of a psychological concept than a simple romantic- comedy, establishing the possibilities of the power of time affecting their love story.
Life Lessons
Started as excitable and goofy dreamers to young adults, thinking that they are assured in life but still full of self-doubt. Love, Rosie shows that more than love, it needs hard work to get your real happy ending.
Here are some hard truths and realizations from the movie:
Appreciate the now. Rosie says “Sometimes you don’t see that the best thing that’s ever happened to you is right under your nose”. Being the best friend they are, causes them to take each other for granted even though the truth is that they always love each other.
True Meaning of Friendship. Even in each other hard times, they stayed. Their bond is through thick and thin. The respect and love bind them stronger as best friends and lovers.
Take chances and risk everything.
Timing is everything, that is why taking chances and risking everything is important not only in love but in life. Some of us turn down opportunities only to know later on that they regret our decision.
We need to understand the risks. It either makes us or breaks us however, one thing is for sure and that is reaching your happiness.
Love, Rosie shows you a mixed reality of life growing up and the struggles of it. The film can make you cry simply because it shows us that there’s always a rainbow after the rain.
Even if it’s hard we will strive to achieve what we want in the future and take risks even if the result is bad or good, because at the end of the day its the success and happiness darling. Rosie and Alex trust the process and timing, so you should to.
