Movie Review

I am not a chick flicky kind girl. But the other night I was in a mood and got "Nights in Rodanthe."
I was recently teased that I relate movies to my own life while watching Zach and Miri Make a Porno. I do. One of my quirks. Such a wonderful story about love and loss and remembering. Timing. Perfect Timing.
Towards the end there is a scene where Diane Lane is talking to her daughter. She says,"There is a love that makes you think anything is possible. I want you to know that you can have that. I want you to know that you deserve it."
I wish my mom had said that to me when I was younger. I wish my mom had given me any advice at all when it comes to boys, relationships, or love. I imagine it is because she herself settled. My dad is great, a wonderful man, provider, and dad, but I never saw a lot of affection between them. Not too many hugs, kisses, or the like. And not a lot directed towards us kids either.
This movie takes place on the Outer Banks, NC. I loved the house and googled it to see if it really was a B&B since I'm looking for a beach location to visit when I R&R back to the states in August. Unfortunately, the house was destroyed during a recent storm and is uninhabitable. But the area is beautiful. I'll put Rodanthe on my list of maybes along with Orchard Beach, ME and Rehobeth Beach, MD. I want to walk along the beach with the sand in between my toes and the love that makes me think anything is possible.
Until then I'll wait.
