April Bride
Footprints left by Dory PoP at 4:49 AM, The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1
Before i start my entry... SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR MUSIC!!! lol XD
Not so long ago, i went to watch this real story adapted movie April Bride with my friends...
Before the movie was shown in the cinemas, i overheard it being advertised on Yes933 a local radio channel. My initial thoughts were " Oh yeah! another jap movie, i'm so gonna watch it." But as i hear on, my thoughts were " I don't believe that such a guy exist. It's just a fairytale..."
Here's the synopsis...
On April 5, 2007, a couple married in a church. At first glance, it was a typical wedding. The bride (Nana Eikura), however, was suffering from late-stage breast cancer and had been given only a month to live.
If you guys plan to watch this movie, i shall not disclose too much about it. But to sum it all up, i am very encouraged by it. This is the first movie that the SET itself helped me to belief the scene and it helped evoke emotions. And also, each character was played by the actors carefully... nothing was dramatized, just as it is according to the story.
After watching the movie, i came home and searched all about Chie Nagashima. To me, she is really a heroine. Someone whom i look up to. Seriously she says the most profound things that you and i never thought about. The statement she made that made me remember till this day was "What do you do everyday? - Live." Sooooooooo many ppl cried when they heard this. To be able to live is a blessing in itself. To be able to see the blue sky, to walk by the streets and to feel the breeze is a blessing in itself.
I've been using this phrase a lot lately and that is to count your blessings. Don't compare what you don't have, but what you already have and be happy about it.
If you guys are really interested in this story and can't wait for the DVD to be out, can try searching for Chie Nagashima on youtube, you'll find the REAL documentary on the REAL couple and her journey on her last month in her battle with cancer.
If only she's still alive... There are things that i wanna share with her for the love that God has for her...
And it's bcos of her that i've decided to 'try' to make my blog a little more 'alive' cos who knows i might leave behind a story like hers when my time comes... :)
