It was beautifully shot, especially the scenes of of Verona, Siena and Tuscany were breathtaking. My daughter, the budding artist, talked of going to Italy to paint one day.
The interesting thing that I discovered about myself while watching the movie was that I was busy studying the beauty of Vanessa Redgrave. She wasn't hiding her age. Her face is untouched by a scalpel or botox. There was a dignity in her bearing and a sparkle in her beautiful blue eyes that were gently etched with tiny lines.
Her lips really stood out to me because they were not "plumped up" but thin and yet they looked right on her face. I related to her more than the young girl, Sophie.
But, back to the story. The letter Claire receives from "Juliet" begins with two words: "what ,and if." Those two words standing alone are basically harmless, but link them together and those two words possess great power. What if?
What if I didn't listen to all the messages, signs and ignored my destiny? What if I had not recognized true love when it came to me? What if? What are your what ifs?
Transition time is a time when we wonder about all the roads not taken. For some dreams and ideas the time has past and we must gently set them aside. Other dreams are still attainable if you have the courage to try. The choice is yours...
