I Want to Give You What You Love: Age of Adaline (2015)

Most Romantic Moment #2

The Age of Adaline (2015)

So I was recommended this film by a friend, but I didn’t like it.

It wasn’t horrible, but this sort of thing has been done before and I felt this film didn’t really do anything new or different. I also didn’t like how she was with both the father and son.

But there was one thing I found extremely romantic, so I wanted to include it in my countdown.

Adaline Bowman was born on New Year’s Day on 1908. She married and had daughter, only to sadly become a widow a few years later.

In 1937 she was driving in a snowstorm and fell into a freezing pond. She died, but was brought to life when lightening struck the water.

What?!

Since that day, Adaline doesn’t age, remaining 29 and being forced to constantly be on the move.

I need to get out of here

This New Year’s Eve, she meets Ellis Jones at a party, introducing herself as Jennifer. He’s interested, but Adaline knows it isn’t the best idea to be romantically involved, as she has had things go wrong 40 years ago.

However, Ellis won’t give up  and the two begin to seriously date. He invites her to come with him for his parents 40th anniversary. When they get there Adaline realizes that Ellis’ father is one of her past boyfriends, William, the one from 40 years ago.

At first William seems to buy that the women he met all those years ago is not Adaline/Jennifer, but “her mother”. But then William spots something that confirms that she is the woman from years past. Will Adaline be able to live in peace or have to take off again?

Most Romantic Moment: I Brought You the Type of Flowers You Want

So you guys know what I think of being given flowers.

I would prefer something that will last a long time.

So Ellis has tried a few things to woo Adalind, but nothing has worked.

Hmmm….

But then he realizes what Adalind really loves:

And instead of bringing flowers, he brings books with flower names.

How sweet!

This is so romantic! He took the time to think and see what would make her happy and give her that, instead of something clichéd or easy.

Sleep is Not Important

I feel like this is me all the time. It’s like:

Argh! Real life!

It’s just not a priority!

The worst is when you try to stay up to read because it is so interesting, but your body just won’t let you

Conversations With Mr. Darcy

So some of you remember that a couple of weeks ago I mentioned that Mr. Darcy Talked to Me? Well, he’s done it again!

Yep, he must find me fascinating! 🙂

So on Twitter, there is someone who pretends to be Mr. Darcy, but not the Colin Firth version, I guess the book Mr. Darcy. Anyways, he saw one of my posts and decided to comment, causing us to get into conversation.

Oh Darcy, you think I haven’t talked about you?
