PS comes from the Latin post scriptum, meaning "after writing" and came from the need to add something in a letter after the signature or foreclosure. Currently the feature is now used as a supplement or partial explanation, csual or whole. PS I Love You is based Based on the book of the Irish writer Cecelia Ahern, director Richard LaGravenese writes in partnership with Steven Rogers this adaptation, which like the pages of the book, has won millions of hearts around the world with a captivating story and dosing drama and romance.
Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) is married to Gerry (Gerard Butler), an Irish funny for who is completely in love. Both live in New York, are together a long time and have yet to financial stability necessary to have a child, something he dreamed much, but it shows that it is feasible. But when Gerry dies of a brain tumor, Holly's life also ends, as she goes into a deep depression. But what she did not expect was that, imagining that this could happen, Gerry has left her several letters before she died. Each seeks to guide Holly in the way of your recovery not only of pain for your loss but also of his own rediscovery.
Analyze romantic comedies is becoming a chore lately. This genre repeats every title the same predictable story and countless clichés and we can count on a movie that has something new or different approach. During life can have several love experiences, some more and some less significant, but there are few people who manage to find love, respect, affection, friendship and admiration simultaneously in another and have it all fully matched. For some, the search for someone to complete takes a lifetime and others sometimes even happens. It's not every day that two young people with a whole story to go sure those feelings. And when a terrible fate would not allow this love to continue in life, seems to be the end of the world for those who stayed. The film focuses on the Holy difficulty in dealing with the death of her husband and the feelings that surtem letters on it. Death, even being addressed, is not the main focus, but the journey of Holly in overcoming their pain.
The film begins showing the chemistry between Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler, which is an essential factor to get involved in the story, with a typical discussion with a couple of text and intelligent. Swank is known for emotionally-laden dramas, winning the best actress Oscar for Boys Do not Cry (1999) and Million Dollar Baby (2004), and Butler has starred in dramas like great Dear Frankie (2004) and mostly action films like Lara Croft Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003) and the most striking part of his career to date to air live the king Leonidas in 300 (2006). At first the two might not be the most obvious couple to bring forward the romance, but the relationship of the characters overflows empathy with the public. Within minutes of interaction between the two, we have already noted how the lovers love each other. When the next scene already shows the funeral of Gerry, and we already know how strong must be the pain for the loss of Holly.
This resumption of life, Holly goes to a nightclub, singing in a karaoke, buy a lamp, makes a trip with best friends, etc.. Tips are simple but meaningful that helps. Besides the letters, Holy is his mother Patricia (Kathy Bates) who over the end will have a key role in the recovery of the child, and very close as friends Denise (Lisa Kudrow) and Sharon (Gina Gershon), which give a touch of humor largest plot with the peculiarities of the female universe. The three friends will cause hilarious moments with clever jokes, and also dramatic moments (such as the sequence in which Holly gets to be the maid of honor). The actresses can move from humor to the drama in just a few minutes so impressive.
Holly suffers a lot in the movie. Having an actress with the ability and true to cross the dramatic arc of the character as Hilary Swank has made all the difference. Gerry, even though he died in the early scenes, is present throughout the film through flashbacks that show from when the two met in Ireland to the latest moments before his death. These flashbacks present at all times operate and serve to bring the protagonists increasingly with viewers. Kathy Bates is wonderful as Holly's mother, Patricia. At first she did not eat very sympathetic relationship between daughter and Gerry, but in the course of the plot will reveal that she has a fundamental role in the recovery of his daughter. It is one of the most complex characters.
For the film to work on the issue we highlight the work of David Moritz (lizabethtown (2005)) that frequently leads from past to present without ever letting the pace drop, always being helped by the script full of tips for transitions. The versatile John Powell (X-Men 3 - The Last Stand (2007)) uses the track for the sake of romance and dramas experienced. The result is divine, knowing thrill every time. The track also contains the great "Same Mistake" by James Blunt, "" Last Train Home "by Ryan Star," P-S - I Love You "Nellie McKay," Love You 'Till The End "by The Pogues, among other. Photography and art direction by Terry Stacey is also a case apart to create some of the best scenes of bucolic and charming romance in Ireland, among other scenarios.
The combination of the soundtrack, magnificent scenery, intelligent text and great actors accredit the movie to be one of the best of the genre in recent years. Even falling in some clichés, the film is hardly handler. The theme of death and emotional recovery by itself is different and that make us predisposed to greater involvement with the story. The film is certainly well above average. Indispensable for couples and for the whole family. The sincere love and true being portrayed with exquisite sensitivity. Love between man and woman, love between friends, between family, for life, and gives us great lessons of life and especially to overcome.
