Take My Heart Back. Please!

Last night me and my cousin's watch the movie "If Only". Actually It's our favorite becase of It's story and It's song too. All of us are fan of this movie.

Lead Cast: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Paul Nicholls, Lucy Davenpor and Diana Hardcastle.

Violinist Samantha (Jennifer Love Hewitt), an American music student in London, is always taken for granted by her live-in partner Wyndham (Paul Nicholls), an ambitious young Briton who loves her but who loves his career more. In the morning of the day she is to hold her concert an event she has been preparing for for three years e totally forgets about it, being absorbed in a presentation he is to make to the company board that morning. Samantha tries everything to catch a bit more of his attention and time as she is supposed to leave the next day for a long vacation in Ohio resenting him with a gift jacket, strip-teasing and pinning him down to bed, making him breakfast, but Wyndham manages to avoid intimacy, obsessed as he is with his presentation. Samantha takes all this with a smile and a generously forgiving heart. Little does he know that he is to lose her to death that day.

The story of If Only has the element of the supernatural (like clairvoyance), and would have been sheer nonsense if it had been less deftly handled. But as it is, the presence of the paranormal does not overshadow the story's on-your-face realness credit this to the good choice of actors: the gamin-faced Hewitt (an actress of exceptional beauty wouldn't have come on as vulnerable as she does here), and the tender-eyed Nicholls (a more macho type wouldn't have suited the tear-jerking part he plays). Despite the extraordinary plot development and the intricate turn of events, the story comes clearly across, thanks to its skillful editing and good characterization. The movie also showcases Hewitt's vocal/musical prowess as she performs a couple of songs which she has also written and composed.

If Only appears to be an ordinary love story, with the male lead crying half of the time (yes, more than the female lead), but justifiably so. If the actors' tear ducts seem to have been overworked here it's because the movie is about the loss of a loved one nd the agonizing realization that one never really knows what treasure one has until one loses it. The message is unmistakably clear, relevant and valid in our day and age when young people have increasingly become more achievement-oriented and driven by a purpose other than love. Taken seriously, If Only should help viewers slow down and sort things out to discover what are the truly important things in life. The parents are cautioned to point out to their teenage children that while the message of If Only is positive, certain factors present in it deserve careful scrutiny, like the supernatural element, and the fact that the couple are but live-in partners.

Here's some of my favorite line in the movie.

* Ian Wyndham: I adore you.
Samantha Andrews: (with tears in her eyes) I don't wanna be adored! I wanna be loved.

"The song that plays here in my blog is one of the movie's song. This song titled "Take My Heart Back" by Jennifer Love Hewitt."
