One of the Most Memorable Videos of our Time

Do you remember what it felt like to fall in love for the first time? Do you remember the pain when it ended, and years later seeing that person once again and the memories that came flowing back like water through a brook? You now have a good life filled with excitment and travel but you try to recapture that love. He has a wife - a family, but he,too, tries to recapture the past. The story, and particularly the ending, will touch your heart in a way you never thought possible. The theme song at the end of the video will also stay with you for years to come, so make sure the video plays until the very, very end.

Wow so much like life...

This movie so moved me because it is so much like life...If you do not believe in romance and what could have been...Then this is not the movie for you...

violets are blue

"The saddest words ever put to paper by pen, are the words what might have been". Who am I quoting? This quote describes this movie. The closing song is ONE DAY and I know who recorded it. I can't find it in any search. The movie credits state that Atlantic Records recorded. Branigan is the songstress.

"We let it happen - that's how we choose"

That line is spoken by Sissy Spacek's father in this wondeful movie about the choices we make in life.

Sissy Spacek and Kevin Kline play hometown high school sweethearts who separate to lead different lives and then reunite unexpectedly 15 years later.

In a good twist on the age old Story- The man stays in the hometown while the woman goes off to see the world (Kline stays, gets his next girlfriend pregnant and runs the small town newspaper after his father's death- Spacek becomes a world travelling photographer after working as a flight attendent)

The two meet up 15 years later and have to come to terms with how they have chosen to lead their lives and if they really can (or want ) to change them to be together again.

The movie is excellent at conveying the complexities of mature love in contrast to youthful idealistic love- that is, how responsibility sometimes gets in the way of happiness.

The location (ocean city, maryland) is so integral to the mood that it is almost a character in the story. This movie shows it in a great light.

The supporting performances are also excellent,with both Spaceks's dad and Kline's wife (A great Bonnie Bedelia, who ironically is more exotic looking than Ms. Spacek) being shown in a realistic fashion. A lesser film may have made them one dimensional obstacles to the lead's love.

One minor problem - the subplot about ocean city politics felt contrived and only seemed to be in there to lenghthen the movie

A great adult romance!

Violets are Blue

Loved this movie! For those of us who grew up the on the east coast, this was like going home...going back in time...bringing back those long lost memories of youth, freedom, first love, the beach. Movie set was in "old" Ocean City, Maryland, and portrays a young woman returning home and finding her "long lost love" who now belongs to someone else. Upon seeing him, love is rekindled....and the question is...can we go back? Can we pick up where we left off? In the end...reality sets in...and with broken hearts, they once again go their separate ways. A must see for those who have ever loved and lost.
