Have a Wicked Valentine's!

With recommendations for romantic movies

Dear readers,

I watched Wicked in December and ever since then I can’t get these two out of my head.

I think Wicked is a great metaphor for many relationships we experience in real life. We can (want to) love someone but still be unable to overcome the differences that make us fundamentally different. Sometimes the right choice is to allow ourselves to love someone for who they are and sometimes the right choice is to leave. I didn’t want to make this sad, but somehow it ended up that way. In any case, I hope this Valentine’s you can celebrate your love (or lack thereof) in any shape or form.

Movie recommendations

If you like watching romantic movies around Valentine’s, here are my top 3 romantic movies of all times (out of the ones I watched of course):

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

There is something about this movie that just breaks me. It’s not just about love, it’s also about life, our perceptions of other people, our compatibilities, and our fragile memory. It’s sad and also hopeful that we can make it through the mess of life.

Before Sunrise

The story of Before Sunrise closely resembles how I met my husband, just with a lot of added drama of course, so it will always have a special place in my heart. Also, the dialog of the whole Before trilogy is objectively superb.

In the Mood for Love

The cinematography and the atmosphere of this movie is out of this world. This movie cannot be described in words, it’s all in the visuals. Just go and watch it!

Happy Valentine’s!
