Practical Magic is one of my all time favorite movies. It’s got everything, Love, romance, friendship, family , magic. One of the scenes that always sticks in my head is near the end. Sally (Sandra Bullock’s character) is sitting on the steps with and empty courier envelope and a ring in her hand. Her sister (played by Nicole Kidman) is standing there watching her, waitting to see what she’ll do about not gettign a more personal note from the man. (Aiden Quinn *sigh*)
She asks her sister “What would you do, Jilly?”
Jilly gives a little smile and says “What wouldn’t I do, for the right guy?”
Does everyone feel this way? I mean I feel this way, but I’ve never been in love. I’ve never met “the right guy” so it’s easy for me to say. What do you think? Would you do anything for the right guy/girl?
I love, love, love that movie. One of my all-time favorites!
I think whenever something is right and you care enough, whether that’s a relationship, a job, whatever, then you commit yourself to it and it’s not a sacrifice. Because you want it that much.
Ah, well–I’ve been in love.
But it was not the RIGHT guy.
So I honestly can’t say what I would or wouldn’t do.
It’d be easy to SAY I wouldn’t do this or that…but love changes everything, doesn’t it? 😉
I think I would do anything for my dh. We’ll have been married for 20 years in January (half my life now) and even though we take each other for granted after all this time, I don’t think there’s anything "important" that we wouldn’t do for the other, if that makes sense. Little things we’ll argue over, but the big things are a different story.
Love PM – book and movie!!
And yeah, I’d pretty much do anything for my guy *ggg*
(Psst – How’s the deadline going?)
No…
I’d do anything for the love of my daughter or my family, but for someone not of my blood…???? Not likely.
Charlene~ Very true. Desire and want, make all the sacrifices worth it.
Eve~ I agree, never change who you are. I didn’t meant that sort of thing. I mean physical thing, or financila, or emotional…lol
Raine~ exactly!
Chey~ You and yor dh give me hope. I love to hear about couples that have been together for so long!
Steph~ I thinkyour dh feels the same.
Deadline. BOUND is DONE!!!!! As of yesterday!
Vivi~ I would do anything for my family right now. But I also think, if/when I fall in love, I’d do anythign for him. I tend to love completely, I think thats why I’ve never really fell in love. I know when I do, it’ll be him and only him.
I like that you believe in that kind of love Sasha…hope rings eternal…
I don’t. Been there done that…and have the scars to prove it!!! LOL
I moved countries for my husband, and guess what? He’s not the right guy!!
I love the movie but, there are limits as to what I would do – I wouldn’t change who I am or try to change him. I won’t pretend to be something I’m not. I also wouldn’t do anything I’m uncomfortable with. Otherwise, I guess everything else is open for discussion.
