This movie is sad in the way that she doesnt remember him and all he wants is to make her happy. I can not imagine wakeing up every morning not know what happened yesterday but I guess since she doesnt remember getting in the accident she doesnt think like that.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good movie but sad. Like Marissa said I don't think I could deal with waking up in the morning not knowing what is going on. I feel bad for her family too because they have to make sure they stay doing the same thing everytime she comes over.
