Más allá del amor

Watching the first scene of this movie really made me predict that, I think it's gonna be another "The Perks of Being A Wallflower" but Charlie acts as Jade here. Or maybe it's even a new version of Romeo and Juliet, which in my opinion is pretty similar.

I kinda tired watching movie with a similar conflict. That's why I tried to figure out something different by guessing that the boy Jade is talking to is her late brother. Yeah, who knows he is her imaginary friend because she can't take the death of his beloved brother? But then I realize that this is the remake of the same title in 1981. So, he's not a ghost. He's her other brother.

For the cast itself,I like them all. Gabriella Wilde is so pretty and hot. But unfortunately this is the reason why I can't accept that she doesn't have any friend during her high school year. I know that she acts as a shy girl, but I know boys. They can't keep their mouth shut having a hot blonde like Jade around them. They're dying for her, trust me. But through the narration of David, Jade is a forgotten girl. However, I am convinced by Gabriella's expression that she's a shy girl. In the end of the movie, I remembered that she is the girl from Carrie, Sue Snell.

One more thing that really bugs me. When David visits psychiatrist to talk about the problem of his love life. It's so weird. A boy like David will even consider that??? That type of guy will just be quiet, or at least talk to his father or his friend when he is asked.

I love all the soundtracks, which, once again, reminds me of The Perks of Being A Wallflower. You know, it has cool soundtracks, too. Somehow, they're sound similar.

I really enjoyed it, it's like old time movies. Good to see happy ending movie.

This is basically a good romantic movie. If you are hoping for more depth, more story or more anything you will be disappointed. But for what it was, I enjoyed it.

The acting was solid, I really liked Gabriella Wildes performance. She was fresh faced and innocent. I was really not interested in Alex Pettyfer's performance prior to watching it, but he proved me wrong and was believable and you found yourself with a vested interest in their relationship.

If you are after an escape into a good romantic movie, I think this one is worth the effort...

Many reviews criticise this title for being a cliché or being unoriginal or being too normal. And that is exactly what gave this movie it's magic.

Sometimes being human and being in love is much less that finding some deeper insight and more about just struggling though circumstances as best we can. There is a movie for everyone and not all stories needs to be grossly intense and over engineered. The production value was of a good quality and I fail to see why so many reviews would give this movie such low scores – maybe because they were not able to appreciate the simplicity of this film?

It is in its lightness and simplicity that its ability to reach an audience lies. It is true to itself and though yes, it can be too soft at times, I suspect that is exactly what the viewer wants when (s)he takes a title like "endless love" off the DVD shelf. The story moves at a very good pace, the acting is placed just right and all the elements works together to make a very engaging experience. It is not quite a chick flick, neither is it a film that is going to race at the Tribeca Film Festival. But I think it was written with gentleness and care. It was directed and acted with a sense of maturity and the viewer do get the feeling that the film maker understood the subject very deeply and if merely by that he reached an audience and gave them a deeper insight into the issues they are dealing with in their own lives, it is a successful piece of work.

There is absolutely NOTHING offensive about this movie and though I was not moved to tears, it did not fail to touch me none the less. I can say this many times – not every time I watch a film, do I want to step away with the heavy emotional content of Schindler's List and neither do I want to start awarding Oscars for best performances. Some days all I want it to walk away and feel that I have seen a story worth watching, that was done with respect and that understands life.

And that Endless Love surely does.

This is a beautifully filmed love story with something for everyone. Gabriella Wilde and Alex Pettyfer are the faces to watch this year. This is not a rehash of the older version, but an updated story for a new generation. The soundtrack was fresh and didn't overpower the dialogue. Shana Feste ( director and writer on Country Strong and The Greatest) is great at getting emotion out of young actors and makes her characters lovable.

It was refreshing to see a light and lovely story with no murder or vampires involved. You will actually leave the theatre feeling happy. The audience clapped at the end...when does that ever happen?
