st. v's with gorillaz, nocturnal and fayjan...

my last experience with a korean movie (Shiri) wasn't the most memorable one, so I wasn't thrilled when des tells us we've got to watch this movie called "My Sassy Girl" on dvd... after watching it, i have to say that i was pleasantly surprised. in a nutshell, it's a romantic comedy / melodrama about a guy who befriends a sad / troubled / sociopathic girl. he decides to take care of her because he feels he can help her. he falls in love with her even though she doesn't treat him well. and eventually she falls in love with him...and yada yada yada, it takes her 'til the end of the movie to realize it. the comedic bits were pretty funny and mixed in with some fairly heartfelt dramatic moments. a nice clever ending too.

anyway, i would recommend it if you can find it on dvd. it's definitely better than movies currently in theatres now, like "Win A Date with Tad Hamilton!"

kinda funny that i watched this movie on valentine's day with other single people... somewhat depressing, in fact... haha... but it made me think about how difficult love can be...reminded me of a verse (1 Cor 13:4-7) that sums up the theme of the movie pretty well:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs...It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (Read the whole passage here)

no matter how hard it may be, love requires us to give it unconditionally even if it means not expecting anything (including reciprocated love) in return...

and so i digress...
