P.S. I Love You - Do you believe in life after love...?



Before seeing this movie, i used to believe there was no greater love film than „Message in a Bottle”. Let’s just say that „P.S. I love you” is a story about love in modern society pushed beyond the limits of life itself.

It is said that everything in life has a solution… except for the moment you die. Hilary Swank and Gerald Butler play the roles of Holly and Gerry, a regular couple with the usual problems except they are madly in love with it each other and that helped them overcome… well, pretty much anything! In short, they were that couple that no one could ever imagine falling apart. Until Gerry’s unfortunate death. Heartbroken and devastated, Holly could not find the necessary ambition to move on with her life so she receives some help… from the man she has loved her entire life. Before his death, Gerry wrote several letters which he left behind for Holly to periodically receive, letters which taught her how to live again, and letters which would remind her that no matter what goes on in the future, he would always be watching over her.

“P.S. I love you” is a movie that teaches us that the best romantic comedies are the one that make you laugh and cry at the same time. It shows the story of two simple people with an amazing will and power to love. This is a movie that teaches us that you can take care of the one you love without necessary being present. This is a story about the courage to think about the one you love even when your days are numbered. The combination of love, letters, beautiful scenes from Ireland and “The Pogues – I love you till the end” is to be always remember when somebody asks you “What’s the best romantic comedy you’ve seen lately?”
