A few Days ago, I was browsing my movie collection and came across a folder named "French Movies". As my french is very basic so I generally neglected them.. But just out of boredom I went for one of them ...
It was Love Me If You Dare or Jeux d'enfants (with subtitles of course )...
And honest to god, after sometime I didn't need the subtitles to get through the movie..... It was so involving...
Its an '03 flick and certainly most of you would have seen it... but for me it was an utter bliss...
It showed me a new manner of defining feelings towards each other....
I felt the fun Sophie and Julien had as children .... the way in which the game started..... the pain when his mother died..... the way Sophie tried to make him laugh even on his mother's funeral.... the pillow fight.... the maths exam ..... their whole lot of games.... Julien's inability to accept his love for Sophie.... their dreadful separation for years..... the happy reunion ..... the way Julien buys his fiancee the same dress that Sophie wore the day they were separated (coz he wanted to hurt her)...... Sophie ruining his marriage..... Sophie's last moment escape from the railway tracks.... their empty separate lives for 10 years.... the big accidental game after that..... their undying love for each other .....and definitely at last their unique way of defining Living-Together-Happily-Ever-After....................
Ohhh..wow..... even while writing it I can feel it .....
It was a marvelous direction by Yann Samuell and roles played brilliantly by Guillaume Canet (Julien) and Marion Cotillard (Sophie)....
Hats off to them.....
