SERENDIPITY

Serendipity.

Its a fabulous movie. Everything about the movie was so enchanting.

I was just flipping channels, when I came across the movie on TV. I watched maybe 2 minutes, and was hooked. I even dropped the book I was reading (I never do that!) to concentrate entirely on the movie.

On a winter day in NYC, Jonathon Trager (John Kusack) meets Sara Thomas (Kate Beckinsdale). There is instant attraction. Both feel very comfortable in each other's presence and hit it off really well. They both believe in signs from above before doing anything. They spend the day together, and then go their seperate ways. They both are about to get married (not to each other).

They dont know whether they should be together or not. So he writes his name on a dollar note, and she uses that to buy a newspaper. She writes her name on the first page of a book and sells the book to a store. The sign would be if he buys the correct book and she gets the dollar note back, they would know how to get in touch and that would be a sign!

Somehow I'm feeling that by writing this, I'm degrading the movie. It's much better to watch the movie than read any review.

Anyway, they go in search of each other with the help of their best friends, and realise how unfit they are with their current partners. He turns up where she's living, and she turns up where he is living. Finally on his wedding day, his bride-to-be gifts him the very book ("Love in the time of Cholera") in which Sara had written her name. And on a flight from NYC back to her home, Sara gets the note on which Jonathon had written his name. Thats how they meet again...forever.

Really wonderful movie.
Do watch :)
