A Single Man – Love This Movie

A great movie

It is one of the movies I enjoy the most and slowly beginning to understand more and more. Instead of writing a synopsis here is the IMDB page.

While watching it for the second time, I realized how much I wanted to be the main character George in real life: prim and proper, overly intellectual with a strong wit, a romantic but at the same time a bit cold and detached. There are things I like about him but at the same time there are things that I wonder about. Is it possible to have a relationship where I can be a bit too cold a bit too detached? 
I watched this movie on a day that I got stood up by a guy I really like. He has been standing me up for a while now but I haven’t had the guts to close the door on him.

The underlying message of the movie, I found, is that we must move forward. We must go on since there could be something better down the road. There could be someone waiting for us, if only we give them a chance.

I will move forward and I am happier at seeing this movie again, even though it isn’t a happy movie.
