Pretty damn amazing movie...touches on so many things about the love and light we try to find in the wake of trauma...and abuse....grateful for the message...
The actor playing the male main character happens to have done my favorit proposal video. It´s still here on yt if you look for Justin and Emily: The proposal. Supersweet and hilariously funny.
I lived it - he remarried, had a kid, and a wonderful life. I escaped, remarried, had a kid and a wonderful life. To this day I have no doubt if we had stayed together we would have ended up dead or in prison. Sometimes, two personalities just can't exist together - they are not bad people, they are just not good together. Its easy to say it is always the mans fault - but, in my case.....I gave as good as I got. I am just being honest -
The book got too much hype tbh. I loved the plot and purpose but it was written in such a basic school-grade manner. The movie looks A LOT better. Can't wait!
A better plot would be, both men are equally amazing but with their flaws as well. Which would you chose? Wouldn't that be a more interesting movie? It's easy to eventually leave the abusive one?
Maybe your query should be: Why do I need this? There are audiences for every single type of movie. If this isn't the type of movie you're interested in watching, you're not being forced to do so.
