It Has Been More Than 2 Years Since I First Watched The Movie And Today When I Watched It Again, It Still

It has been more than 2 years since I first watched the movie and today when I watched it again, it still appeared to me as lovely and poignant as the previous time. If there's one film that defines me completely then this is it . Of course our lifestyles are way too different and possibly I'll never have a boyfriend and be comfortable about him in front of my parents like her. But still, things that have a deeper meaning, that are universal and cross all the boundaries make this film mine. All my life,I had wished just one thing-to get out of this little town. I always wanted to live alone even if I knew I couldn't even make myself a cup of tea. Weirdly, even if I love this place, I still want to see the world outside, only to return here once again. I guess, I always wanted to leave because I wanted to come back and look at this town of mine with new colors; maybe it was nostalgia after all. And now I am a few months away from finally going away to a place where my parents can't reach in a day. I still know nothing about cooking, washing(okay a little) and being independent. And I am excited to learn it all, not here but there. I want to go there unprepared and watch my life unfold gradually yet so spontaneously. I want to learn these things in bits and pieces,dancing through the mistakes and little achievements.

And this movie explains it all. Even when I wasn't watching the film(in these 2 years),I went back to the little clips from the film especially the one with the last part where Christine asks her mother if she ever felt emotional the first time she drove through Sacramento because she did. N I would do too. N u would do too.

The reason why this film remains so relatable is because its drama and emotions are so tangible. It is my life, your life,our lives.
