Behind every good story there's a love story

I know we usually don't talk about movies on this board unless there's a relationship issue with it.

With the much hyped about James Cameron movie Avatar coming out there soon, I thought I should just talk about the title of this blog.

Behind every good story there's a love story...

As you watch the movie there, there's a mixture of science fiction, a lot of action, but then at the very very end of the trailer, he shows us the one thing that will touch us...

love.

I thought just the trailer was fascination in the way it told the story to the movie and I still wonder - or hope - that the movie lives up to the hype and the trailer that seems awesome.

Anyhoo, as someone says Love is a splendid thing (don't know where I heard it, but I seem to recall it being sung.)
If you ever think of every movie that has come out and received some kind of recognition, you can always say there’s a love story involved.

Not just love between a man and a woman, but man and himself, man and the world, man and his people, man and what he believes in. There’s always a love story there to rival whatever action, madness or mystifying material you see.

And it’s not about the love they show (although that 9 ½ Weeks scene was pretty hot), but it’s the love that the characters showing love.

We fall for it every time. The Oscars prove that to us by being watched by millions and millions of people each year and the box office tells us on a everyday occasion that people still want to fall in love all the time no matter whatever the type it may be.

And even though it may be the same Cinderella story on the screen we watch it played out every time knowing the results and cheering the victory when the love is finally revealed to us.

How does this relate in real life?

It just goes to show that no love is the same. Each one tells a different story and we cannot predict the way we fall in love with a person will be the similar for us as another.

Allowing the story to play out may be the scariest thing to us though. As much as we want the pulse pounding heart stopping moments that we see on the screen, we are terrified of that happening to us because then we know our weakness does not lie in what’s inside of us anymore. Our weakness lies in someone else and we pray they guard it well and treat it with respect.

But I don’t even think that is the hardest part about love.

I think the hardest part about love is not about finding it and discovering it, but it’s about keeping that love in our lives and sometimes we are our own worst poison when it comes to love.
