LOVE STORY IN IMAGES

THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE

The Time Traveler's Wife, a 2009 American romantic drama film based on Audrey Niffenegger's 2003 novel of the same name, tells us the love story between Henry and Claire, a story that comes beyond time and place.

Henry's story starts when he was young and he couldn't easily accept the gift that nature gave him, the ability to travel in time. Actually, this ability made him have a life full of impossible which has become possible.

How it will be for you to meet your future love before she could even think of being in love, like about 5 or 6 years old? How would you feel to see your unborn child in a moment in time? 

Some of these questions are normal for us to wonder because we all think of impossible situations made possible, or of the possibility to return in time. What can be seen as a gift, might be a curse, sometimes, if you don't pay attention to the signs and the facts from your life. The human eagerness for living more than life gives you represents, in a way, a strange delight.

Henry and Claire met in a park, the garden of Claire's mansion when she was about 5 or 6 years old. She decided that the strange men she saw that day will be the only love of her life. Her love for him grew in time and made her the person she became, a strong woman who was not afraid of living a life full of sparkle. In the same park - garden Henry got shoot because his father in low mistaken him for a dear.

In fact he was killed in the place where all began and where his wife waited for him every day, for five minutes of happiness.

ABOUT GONE WITH THE WIND

When I first saw this film I was a teenager...I remember that the book I had on the bookshelves had some black and white pictures with some beautiful people who were trying to tell me the story of a story....
My curiosity made me want to read the book and see the film. I did both ..... and so I discovered Scarlett and Rhett ... and their love story.
This will be the first movie I will share on my first page dedicated to one of the most interesting stories I have seen.....

Gone with the Wind is a 1939 American historical romance film adapted from Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer winning novel "Gone with the wind". It is produced by David O Selznik. The action is set in the 19th-century American South, the film recounts the story of Scarlett O'Hara, played by Vivien Leigh, a British actress, and her romantic pursuit of Ashley Wilkes played by Leslie Howard who is in loved and married to his cousin, Melanie Hamilton played by Olivia de Havilland. After two marriages of convenience, the first done in anger and jealousy, the second done in need of money and social status, she finally married the only man who was near her, and who was able to accept her as she was and to understand her. Her evolution from a young spoiled brat to a strong spoiled woman in search of self discovery and love, makes her one of the biggest female characters of all times.
Looking back to what happened to her life when she had to grow up too fast, we can say that even those who despise her start to feel love and sympathy by the end of the movie. Indeed, she is a strong woman who struggles to adapt to a new era in which everything a person had known was definitely changed and destroyed. It makes you wander how you would react in a similar situation.
Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and reconstruction Era, the story is told from the perspective of white Southerners.
