Sometimes kitschy movies are just that, kitschy....but sometimes they speak some truth to our starving hearts. Tonight, the movie "the holiday" brought to my attention that i have been living the life of the best friend, not the leading lady.... the victim of love. the one that always ends up in love with someone who doesn't love her back. i've never been the leading lady...i've never been treated like a lady in a relationship. Not that gals need to be treated like lace or anything...that's far from what I mean. I just mean that ..well...when the old fashioned traditions went out the window along with women actually acting like ladies, men stopped treating us like ladies and started treating us like more of a source of headaches and sex...and we love movies like this because they remind us of a time when women were treated like something to be adored and were a source of adoration.
or maybe the movies just glorified that and women have always been playthings for men. either way, there has to be at least one good man standing.
