Still As Good As I Remember

Warning: Spoilers
It's been such a long time since the last time I saw this movie 12 years ago to be exact, but the power of this movie is still strong and indeed unforgettable.

Sophie Marceau is one of the good actress that can portrayed emotion into the character really well, especially for her English is not her 1st language but yet her character here as Ms. Laurrier a governess with a politeness and strong character really had shown well. Her determination to be with her spoiled and lonely daughter is really enjoyable to watch, her passion to be with the a man that she loved all of time is really memorable, her strong character really helped a lot here. The whole setting which was located in England was perfect to show the intimidation of society, however even the rules of society and time cannot forbid their love to be rekindled again. Yes it is a happy ending movie that I like.

I remember, the first time I watched this movie when I was in my junior high and I didn't really get the idea about love really well but when I watched this movie I could understand the feeling of each characters especially for their desires to be loved each other. The director deserves thumb up for bringing the emotions of the actors out of beneath.
