Letters to Juliet

This was adorable, and my favorite part, of course! The balcony! and the quote that Sophie and Charlie recite when they're laying down looking at the stars...
"Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love."
William Shakespeare (Hamlet)
Last but not least, Sophie's reply.
Dear Claire,
"What" and "If" are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: "What if?" What if? What if?... I don't know how your story ended but if what you felt then was true love, then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like - love to leave loved ones for, love to cross oceans for but I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it, that I will have the courage to seize it. And, Claire, if you didn't, I hope one day that you will.

All my love,
Juliet

No owners means - no heartbreak!

When I first know that Pixar 2010 film is about Andy’s old toys, I was Like... What?! Toy Story THREE?? Really!?? But! After watching this movie, I have to say..."Toy Story 3" is amazing!

I feel sad about Lotso's story. Lotso had his heart broken. After that, he stopped believing in the power of love. He turned himself a evil bear, hiding behind a mask he created, so he wouldn't ever get hurt again. I can feel Lotso’s pain..the kind of things happen everywhere. Someone’s being hurt by the people they love, or being replaced by new toys, new friends and new lovers.
Near the end of the movie, it is painful to see that he still wouldn’t give love or himself a second chance when he faced a choice to start trusting people again and save him from his old broken self ...

Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear: When the kids get old, new ones come in. When they get old, new ones replace them. You'll never be outgrown, or neglected. Never abandoned or forgotten. No owners means - no heartbreak!
