Movie Review

I honestly loved this movie, although that may be more or less because it was good for a movie in school. Nevertheless, I liked the obvious and cliche choice between the easy life with the Duke verses the harder life that she would be able to experience with her one true love.I liked this because it brought up a question that has still kept me wondering; will a women-in real life-choose her true love or the simple life with the Duke. Of course every romantic (myself included) chooses the poor writer, her true love, but what is the reality?  I will debate the fact that life is nothing like the movies and the right decisions are not always made as easily as they are portrayed in movies.Furthermore, I was the romantic when I packed up and stayed with my dad to have a better life for myself in a more loving environment for a year. But in the same breathe I made the mistake of wanting things to be a little easier and maybe a nicer school by moving back with my mom. I shamefully chose the "duke" over what I really loved. Thus the idea intrigued me. 

On a different note, the movie was about how "the greatest thing in life is to love and be loved in return". I think that is about how the Duke could have very well been in love with the girl, but was that love? While she didn't reciprocate the same feelings. But when someone does it should be rejoiced because its rare to have such a risk taking "all in" kind of love with someone like the main characters did.
