What is Love?

Dearest Journal,

I have just watched a German love story- which is very thought provoking. Sorry-in advance,I did not catch the title of the movie but aired on SBS approx 930pm -11.50pm 17th Jan 2007. Google the channel guideline and I'm sure the title will be there.

At the beginning,it started off by introducing one loving young couple,of course, madly in love. Cecilia & Joachim. The following scene showed Joachim kissing Cecilia in the car before departing to -work,i think. (Then,came the rude shock-which got me watching the whole movie thereafter). As Joachim opened the door and walked out, from nowhere, came this fast car which hit him. It was Marie and her daughter, Sphine in the other car.

It goes like this, in short, Marie's husband, .......

FESTIVAL MOVIE - OPEN HEARTS - (ELSKER DIG FOR EVIGT)
Filmmaker Susanne Bier, working with the Dogma rules of filmmaking, explores the human condition when faced with a tragic accident. Cecilie (Sonja Richter) and Joachim (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) are desperately in love with each other. However, a tragic accident occurs and Cecilie is left devastated when Joachim is seriously injured in a car accident and is paralysed from the waist down. Grief stricken and lonely, she begins an affair with Niels (Mads Mikkelsen, Unit One), a doctor at the hospital where Joachim is being treated. The situation is further complicated by the fact that Niels' wife Marie (Paprika Steen) was the driver that caused the accident in the first place. This film was a festival hit and it received several awards at the 2003 Robert Festival. It also won the International Critics' Award at the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival. Also stars Stine Bjerregaard. (From Denmark, in Danish, English subtitles) (Drama) (2002) MA (L,S,A) WS

1)First correction - not german movie- but a danish movie
2)Second correction - Joachim wasn't injured waist down in the movie- but neck down

The most unfortunate thing is that- neither party is wrong. There isn't such thing call right or wrong. Human emotions can play one out - unknowingly. That's damn scary...

U think you love me.............but when reality and circumstances kick in, love is not that straightforward anymore.
