After a long break, I was recently reading one of the old bloggers (whose blogs I used to read regularly) blog and I came across one of her recent blogs about the movie P.S. I Love You starring Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler (who happens to be very hot). I totally agree with all her comments, she has a point, the movie was wonderful. Though I am a sucker for romantic comedies, and I cry to most of the mushy feeling movies, this movie actually made me cry for a reason. It touched my heart like no other movie, the performances were wonderful by all the cast, it had everything, a little bit of comedy, a lot of drama, a hint of suspense and a lot of love and not to forget the fine men and lovely Irish scenes. Though everything mentioned by the blogger crashedsite is correct, I think I have to say the truth so everybody (well not everybody but atleast some) would know where the storyline came from, where it was adopted from, and what was the original story. I have been meaning to tell it to everybody, but just didn't have the courage to say it to everybody since I am not really out to people and then they would ask me a lot of questions about how I found the movie and what was I doing watching it and blah blah.
So well, here comes the truth. The movie that was originally made was
Finding 
North. You can find details on the link posted above. The movie was released in 1998, and brought on DVD/Video by WolfeVideo. When I first saw that movie, a couple years ago, I wept and wept and wept like a crazy little boy who had just lost his Tonka Toy Truck. The movie was so wonderfully made, it had everything in it, a lot of suspense, a lot of drama, a lot of love, and above all, the ending was a bit more thrilling than P.S. I Love You. It was such a wonderful movie and I am not sure why it hasn't been given the credit it deserves. I hope some of you will see it, though it is a gay theme movie rather than a straight movie, but have an open mind, and try to watch it if you can find it. It is a wonderful movie and everybody should watch it once. You will see where the inspiration for P.S. I Love You was acquired and how the story was adapted for a mainline cinema.
All I wish to do is give the makers enough credit for their wonderful creation. I am in no way badmouthing P.S. I Love You.

hey, thanx for the credit :) I did totally adore PS I love you and was told that it was based on a novel, but then again, even the writer needed some inspiration.
Doubt that i'll be able to find the movie here at Far Side, but if I do, I promise that I'll keep an open mind and rent it... if I can get over the cover. :p
cheers
I actually have that movie saved up on my lappy, if you like I can send it to you though not sure how I am going to transfer it.
Actually I did get the movie Jeffrey, which was different and brougt up important issues...
