Hi guys. With the day of love and hearts just around the corner, I just wanted to share with you this rom-com movie that's one of the best that I've watched.
I've watched Serendipity a couple of times and I'll always remember it's story about well, life's serendipitous events and how it can lead you to circumstances that you never thought possible, like in love for instance.
Serendipity is a 2001 film that tells the story of Jonathan (John Cusack) and Sara (Kate Beckinsale), two people with much lives and love of their own, who felt a "connection" after meeting at Bloomingdale's as they reached for the same pair of gloves. As if by some twist of fate, they keep running into each other during the same night.

Convinced that destiny might be at its work, they decided to give their connection a try. Jonathan wrote his name and number on a five-dollar bill and Sara, on a copy of Love in the Time of Cholera, both of which to end up in the hands of whoever. If they were meant to be together, eventually, Sara would end up with that five dollar bill and Jonathan, with the book.
A couple of years later, both still hold on to the fateful night and each other. I guess they hoped that by sheer happenstance, destiny would intervene with their already-paved ways of love and life and they'd see each other again.
It's nice to watch a movie that played with the concept of fate being too dynamic and too mysterious that two people would end up risking it all just to see if they can sail along with it. It depicts love as something that is fated and not searched for, since Jonathan and Sara seemed happy with the lives that they had before they met each other.
It's a very nice movie to watch. Not too tear-jerking and not too cliched for a rom-com. If you're planning to spend the day of hearts watching movies, I hope you squeeze this in on your list.
What's your fave romantic movie? Lemme know. Cheerio!
