Walk With Me

Break the Not, Tie the Knot

“Bite your tongue, because I wouldn't want it changed for anything in the whole world.” –Sadie Jones. (license to wed)

               We were struck on this piece of message because not all are able to pledge their love, for most couples of today are always spur of the moment- centered which is to say, following the impulse of the feeling. Moreover, the movie presented the viewers a typical type of a happy ending romantic story but it was also able to surface both the idealism and the realism by the characters Sadie Jones and Benjamin Murphy, plus, the family’s participation in the couple’s love story and the Church’s help (intrusive as to say) to stabilize the relationship of its couple portrayed by the Reverend.

               On the aspect of idealism and realism, it is relevant that Sadie Jones displayed masculinity as to say when she’s being firm striving for that perfect relationship. While on the other hand, Benjamin Murphy manifested femininity when he’s really that attached to the gust of his feelings that he tried not to undergo the course for marriage. This would surface the reciprocity of the marriage between a masculine woman and a feminine man.

               In addition, family’s representation in the movie was the solid ground where the strong idealism of Sadie was developed. At conjuncture, it is due to the fact that, inwardly, Sadie realizes that perfect relationship is always possible because of her parent’s relationship.

               Also, the portrayal of the Reverend (exaggerated so to say) was really striking in the sense that it has an underlying message that the church always wants every couple to be really ready in the life they are going to have. However, the world treats the church’s teaching as a sham and a must-disregard.

               It’s very unfortunate for us to know the reality of lukewarm love today, but the good thing here is that we are reminded by the vow swearing of the main characters. Mistaken the ring maybe, “Never to Fart” still Sadie loved it the more. That’s why it magnifies the correspondence of the couple, a man who wants his present perfect and a woman who loves the imperfection of the counterpart. Furthermore, this is only possible when every character in the relationship knows more about whom they want to share their life with.
