Waiting for Forever.

This is a romantic indie film starring Rachel Bilson (my favorite actress from The O.C.) and Tom Sturridge (they say he's a friend of Robert Pattinson). It's about loving someone as early as childhood and still feeling the same upon reaching adult years.

Will (Tom Sturridge) and Emma (Rachel Bilson) were always together when they were kids. At some point during that time, Will lost his parents in a train accident. The person who comforted him that time was Emma, saying that they are always there for him and he will always be loved.

That touched Will deeply. Too deep that when he became an adult, he talks to someone he can only see. He has only loved Emma from the start. What bothered Emma was that she realized that what she had said when they were kids was the reason why he is what he is now. She also learned that Will has been following her, from Oregon to Los Angeles. That disturbed her. A lot.

There is also Emma's boyfriend, Aaron (Matthew Davis). Emma cheated on him with one of their friends. Aaron confronted that friend and accidentally killed him. When Aaron found out that there was a guy who was following Emma, he immediately called the police's attention, as if to blame Will for the death of their friend.

Now we all know who did it, but that didn't stop the police from arresting Will as a prime suspect. But they didn't detain him for long because they lacked evidence.

It all got sort of complicated after that, when Emma and Aaron got engaged, Will went somewhere out of state, Emma broke off the engagement, Emma's father died, Aaron got arrested, etc.

The turning point was when Emma received a letter from Will through his brother that stated a lot of things about life, which touched Emma greatly. She decided to look for Will and she found him in San Francisco performing on the streets (which by the way is his job).

And that's the end of the story.

What touched me with this movie is that a person can be so simple with the things that he wants in his life: for him to love a girl during his lifetime even if he doesn't know if she shares the same feelings or not. That's very endearing, sweet and promising for a girl to be loved by a guy like Will.

In the real life, this can be frustrating. It's like you're in your own dimension, oblivious to what's happening around you. And face it, being simple like Will does not cut it. I for one will not survive his situation. In this story? Yes, I would choose Will. But in reality? I would rather be single or look for someone else that has a responsible trait. Just being practical.

There is one more thing that I would like to emphasize: a person must look into the greater scope of things rather than focus on one small portion.

This is true during our present time.
