The Vow

For Valentine's Day yesterday, some girls in my ward and I went and saw "The Vow".  It was great and even better than I had expected it to be.
And of course, Channing Tatum was beautiful. No surprises there.
This picture basically sums up my feelings towards him:

But seriously, I really enjoyed this movie. Believe it or not, it was actually surprisingly deep because it's about more than simply the love between two people. Although that does serve as the primary focus of the movie, as a whole it's more about life in general and how each choice and each moment gradually moves us along in life. And whether we accept it or not, these moments are what come to define us and make us the people that we are.
Essentially, each person is a living, breathing collage of moments.
Isn't that interesting to think about?
Throughout the movie, Channing, or rather "Leo", narrates on and off. At one point, he says:

"Life's all about moments of impact, and how they change our lives forever. But what if one day you could no longer remember any of them?" 

Think about that. What if the person you were was suddenly stuck in the circumstances that the person you are created? What would you think of your life? Would you agree with the decisions that your future self made?
Maybe this isn't as fascinating a subject as it seems, but to me it is. This movie gave me a new way of thinking about things. Instead of thinking of my life in terms of achievements and destinations, it has caused me to reflect on my life in terms of choices and experiences, which I think is the way life is meant to be looked at.
Anyway, all I have left to say is true love is a powerful thing people.
Fo reals.
