EverAfter

Posted by Kaye Mayrina-Lingad in Aha Moments, Simple Pleasures

Call me retarded but I really have to say this: I loved Enchanted, you know, that movie where a disarmingly naïve princess from a make believe world called Andalasia gets thrown in a well and finds herself in New York where there’s no happily ever after. It’s a no-brainer, feel-good movie. Just the perfect flick to see on Christmas eve when you’re a Pinay feeling the Christmas blues in the US where Pasko is not uso. Watching that movie with my kids for free, thanks to a gift card I received from the office, made it all the more enjoyable. It’s been weeks now since I saw the movie and good ol’ Kaye’s mind goes to overdrive again and rips the film apart.

Everafter_1 Nope, not to be a movie critic who will discuss the merits of the animation, the musical score or how Patrick Dempsey, as the modern knight in shining armor, made my heart a-flutter. It’s more about the movie’s premise of chasing ever afters.

What is a happy ending really? When does the ever after start? Is the wedding day THE happily ever after? When you’ve been fortunate enough to marry the love of your life, spend a good life together, then lose him to Alzheimer’s, cancer or old age, does that still count as a happy ending?

Questions. I have no answers.
