P.S. I Love You is a 2007 American drama film directed by Richard LaGravenese. The screenplay by LaGravenese and Steven Rogers is based on the 2004 novel of the same name by Cecelia Ahern. The film is dedicated to the memory of producer Molly Smith's sister Windland Smith Rice.
Holly and Gerry are a married couple who live on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
They are deeply in love, but they fight occasionally. Gerry suddenly
dies of a brain tumor and Holly realizes how much he means to her as
well as how insignificant their arguments were.
Deeply distraught, Holly withdraws from her family and friends until they descend upon her on her 30th birthday. They are determined to prod the young widow to face the future and explore what her life choices should be. As they rally around Holly and help organize her apartment, a cake is delivered, and with it is a message from Gerry. It proves to be the first of several meaningful messages — all ending with "P.S. I Love You" — which he had arranged to have delivered to her after his death. As the seasons pass, each new message fills her with encouragement and sends her on a new adventure. Holly's mother believes that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly tied to the past. But they are, in fact, pushing her into the future. With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly slowly embarks on a journey of rediscovery. Gerry arranged for Holly and her friends Denise and Sharon to travel to his homeland of Ireland. They arrive at their destination, a house in the beautiful Irish countryside where they find letters from Gerry for Sharon & Denise, one asking Denise to take Holly to his favorite pub. While there, they meet William, a singer who strongly reminds Holly of her deceased husband. He asks her to stay to see him after his last song which he dedicates to her. Upon hearing it, she walks out because it was the song Gerry sang to her shortly after they first met. During the vacation, while on a fishing trip they lose the boat's oars leaving the three women stranded in the middle of a lake. During their wait for help, Sharon announces that she is pregnant and Denise reveals she is getting married. This news causes Holly to relapse emotionally and again withdraw into herself. They are eventually rescued by William, whom Sharon and Denise invite to stay the night because of the pouring rain. William and Holly become intimate. They begin a conversation about her deceased husband and Holly asks William to drive her to visit her in-laws. Upon Holly revealing their names, William realizes she is the widow of his childhood best friend. Revealing this to Holly causes her to panic, but William calms her down and starts to tell stories about his and Gerry's childhood. The next day, Holly visits Gerry's parents and while there, she also receives a letter from Gerry reminding her of their first meeting. Arriving home, Holly again withdraws from family and friends. As she continues to become more and more lost, she discovers she has a flair for designing women's shoes and enrolls in a class that teaches how to actually make the shoes she has designed. A new found self-confidence allows her to emerge from her solitude and embrace her friends' happiness. While on a walk with her mother, she learns that her mother was the one whom Gerry asked to deliver his letters after his death and receives the last letter. As the film ends with Holly taking her mother on a trip to Ireland, we see that Holly has opened herself up to the journey beginning with the next chapter of her life, and wherever it takes her she has the hope of falling in love again. |

Sad Romance Movie [Part.2]
| The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) |
|---|
Theatrical release poster
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a 2008 American drama film directed by David Fincher. The storyline by Eric Roth and Robin Swicord is loosely based on the 1922 short story of the same name by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The film stars Brad Pitt as a man who ages in reverse and Cate Blanchett as the love interest throughout his life. Plot
In 2005, elderly Daisy is on her deathbed in a New Orleans
hospital; she asks her daughter, Caroline, to read aloud from the diary
of Benjamin Button. From the reading, we learn that on the evening of November 11, 1918,
a boy is born with the appearance and physical maladies of an elderly
man. The baby's mother died after giving birth, and the father, Thomas
Button, abandons the infant on the porch of a nursing home. Queenie and
Mr. "Tizzy" Weathers, workers at the nursing home, find the baby, and
Queenie decides to care for him as her own.
Benjamin learns to walk in 1925; he declares it a miracle, after
which he uses crutches in place of a wheelchair. On Thanksgiving 1930,
Benjamin meets six-year-old Daisy, whose grandmother lives in the
nursing home. Later, he accepts work on a tugboat
captained by Mike Clark. Benjamin also meets Thomas Button, who does
not reveal that he is Benjamin's father. In Autumn 1936, Benjamin leaves
New Orleans for a long-term work engagement with the tugboat crew;
Daisy later is accepted into a dance school in New York.
In 1941, Benjamin is in Murmansk, where he begins having an affair with Elizabeth Abbott, wife of the British Trade Minister. That December, Japan attacks Pearl Harbor, thrusting America into World War II. Mike volunteers the boat for the U.S. Navy;
the crew is assigned to salvage duties. During a patrol, the tugboat
finds a sunken U.S. transport and the bodies of 1,300 American troops. A
German submarine surfaces; Mike steers the tugboat full speed towards
it while a German gunner fires on the tugboat, killing most of the crew
including Mike. The tugboat rams the submarine, causing it to explode,
sinking both vessels. Benjamin and another crewman are rescued by U.S.
Navy ships the next day.
In May 1945, Benjamin returns to New Orleans and reunites with
Queenie. A few weeks later, he reunites with Daisy; they go out for
dinner. Upon failing to seduce him afterward, she departs. Benjamin
later reunites with Thomas Button, who, terminally ill, reveals he is
Benjamin's father. Thomas wills Benjamin his possessions before he dies.
In 1947, Benjamin visits Daisy in New York unannounced, but departs
upon seeing that she has fallen in love with someone else. In 1954,
Daisy's dance career ends in Paris
when a taxi cab crushes her leg. When Benjamin visits her, Daisy is
amazed by his youthful appearance, but frustrated by her injuries, she
tells him to stay out of her life.
In spring 1962, Daisy returns to New Orleans and reunites with
Benjamin. Now of comparable physical age, they fall in love and go
sailing together. Upon their return, they learn that Queenie has died;
they move in together after the funeral. In 1967, Daisy has opened a
ballet studio and tells Benjamin that she is pregnant; she gives birth
to a girl, Caroline, in the spring of 1968. Believing he can not be a
father to his daughter due to his reverse aging, Benjamin sells his
belongings, leaves the proceeds to Daisy and Caroline, and departs the
next spring; he travels alone during the 1970s.
Benjamin returns to Daisy in 1980. Now married, Daisy introduces him
to her husband and daughter as a family friend. Daisy admits that he was
right to leave; she could not have coped otherwise. She later visits
Benjamin at his hotel, where they share their passion for each other.
After saying their good-nights, Benjamin watches Daisy leave in a taxi
from his window.
In 1990, widowed Daisy is contacted by social workers who have found
Benjamin — now physically a preteen. When she arrives, they explain that
he was living in a condemned building and was taken to the hospital in
poor physical condition, and that they found her name in his diary. The
bewildered social workers also say he is displaying early signs of dementia.
Daisy moves into the nursing home in 1997 and cares for Benjamin for
the rest of his life. In the spring of 2003, Benjamin dies in Daisy's
arms, physically an infant but chronologically 84 years of age. Daisy
dies as Hurricane Katrina approaches.

Plot
A brigade of firemen break down the door of an apartment in Paris to find the corpse of Anne (Emmanuelle Riva) lying on a bed, adorned with cut flowers.
Several months earlier, Anne and her husband Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant),
both retired piano teachers in their eighties, attend a performance by
one of Anne's former pupils. The next morning while they are eating
breakfast, Anne silently suffers a stroke.
She sits in a catatonic state, not responding to Georges. She comes
around as Georges is about to get help, but doesn't remember anything
that took place. Georges thinks she was playing a prank on him. Anne is
unable to pour herself a drink.
Anne undergoes surgery on a blocked carotid artery, but the surgery
goes wrong, leaving her paralyzed on her right side and confined to a
wheelchair. She makes Georges promise not to send her back to the
hospital or into a nursing home. Georges becomes Anne's dutiful, though
slightly irritated, caretaker. One day, Anne tells Georges that she
doesn't want to go on living.
The pupil whose performance they attended stops by and Anne gets
dressed up and carries on a lively conversation during the visit, giving
Georges hope that her condition was temporary. However, she soon
suffers a second stroke that leaves her demented and incapable of
coherent speech. Georges continues to look after Anne, despite the
strain it puts on him.
Georges begins employing a nurse three days a week. Their daughter, Eva (Isabelle Huppert),
wants her mother to go into care, but Georges says he will not break
the promise he made to his wife. He employs a second nurse, but fires
her after he discovers she is mistreating his wife.
One day, Georges sits next to Anne's bedside and tells her a story of
his childhood, which calms her. As he reaches the story's conclusion,
he picks up a pillow and smothers her.
Georges returns home with bundles of flowers in his hands, which he
proceeds to wash and cut. He picks out a dress from Anne's wardrobe and
writes a long letter. He tapes the bedroom door shut and catches a
pigeon which has flown in from the window. In the letter, Georges
explains that he has released the pigeon. Georges imagines that Anne is
washing dishes in the kitchen and, speechless, he gazes at her as she
cleans up and prepares to leave the house. Anne calls for Georges to
bring a coat, and he complies, following her out the door.
The film concludes with a continuation of the opening scene, with Eva
seated in the living room, after she has wandered around the now-empty
home.
