You've.Got.Mail.

You've Got Mail. My all time favorite Romance movie. It's a classic. It's one of the first Romance films I've seen as a child and I've grown to have an undying passion for this movie. It's memorable in so many ways. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are the creme brulee of all Romance films. They are the root in fact. No one belongs better with Meg than Tom, vice versa. The dialogue, the scenery, the chemistry. I've always found the art of this movie so moving and awing. Like many young ladies as myself, I was grown up to appreciate Romance movies, and therefore become a Hopeless Romantic.
In my point, what makes a great Romance film, any film actually are the leading characters. In fact, I don't think I could grow attached to the story itself if the leading lady is no where near right. No matter how beautiful the story may be, or how beautiful the handsome man could be, it will not cling to me unless the leading lady is anything but captivating. What I love about Meg Ryan, is that she no matter what, seems to always capture the essence of that character. Not only does she portray the role, she is he role. She puts heart and soul into her work of art. She let's us feel what the character feels. Safe to say, after all these years, she has not missed a single step out of line. Somehow, this certain character she played in this single movie has simply mirrored the very essence of no other, than myself. Kathleen Kelly, a woman living in New York City with her boyfriend, a bookstore owner (whose mother was the original owner) of "The Shop Around The Corner", cunningly smart, a true soul attachment to Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice), and a hopeless and irrevocable Romantic like myself. She loves books, and could name you a list of some recommendations on the spot, she has the deepest love for her mother, and she has the deepest passion for anything art, especially Literature.
Kathleen Kelly and I not only share first names, not only general interests, lifestyles, but hearts. She knows what she wants in a lover, and in a person. She's sure and levelheaded, and most of all apologetic to many things she's said or done that she not necessarily intended. Meg Ryan has truly captured the essence of Kathleen Kelly and I am of the upmost grateful to the highest heavens that she got to play the role. For I could not, or ever think of a better actress to fill in the momentum. Meg Ryan, I will forever be in your debt in the slightest ways. For you have woven the essence of this amazing character in front of my brown eyes. You are apart of my being, the meaning of why I am the way I am today. I am forever the person I am today, and will not change it even for Tom Hank's sake. For you have mirrored my ever more characteristics for many to watch, and fall in love with. It will never be difficult for one to find me anymore. For they have seen the demonstration you unraveled.
