The day I saw an awesome movie

Today was a great day.  The sun was shining and it was the perfect temperature.  Jess was in town so we went out...ate lunch outside and went shopping for furniture and appliances for her new townhouse.  Then we went to go see a movie.  We saw this one


And let me tell you....one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen.  Sure it's a little predictable but the way they get to that ending is just...flawless.  The story is based on reality.  In Verona, Italy (where Romeo/Juliet took place) thousands of people flock to Juliet's home and leave her letters.  The lonely, the broken hearted, the confused.  They write letters to Juliet asking for advice. 

 

And there is a group of people dubbed "The Juliet Club" who write back.  They answer every single letter.  There is even a book including some of the letters people have written


 The movie starts Amanda Seyfried (who I love) and Vanessa Redgrave (my namesake and one of the most talented and beautiful women in the world)


and of course....him


Such a simple beautiful story based on real life.  It was so touching it brought tears to my eyes more than once.  Heartwarming would be the perfect description of it.

Hope you all had as beautiful of a day as I did!
