Love Story - The movie

I really enjoyed watching Love Story, since I could finally put an image to the characters and things portrayed in the story, rather than the way I imagined in my mind. There were many scenes that differed from the story, such as the end that was not so emotional, or when Oliver did not hug his father in the end like it is described in the story, and several other scenes. To me, Jenny and Oliver from the movie did not seem such of a couple because I think Jenny overacted in many scenes and she was not really natural; therefore, I could not see a couple in them. I really liked the way Jenny dressed, the dresses, the coats were beautiful.
Another difference between the movie and the story was that in the story, the father was described as an old athlete, whereas in the movie I really could not see the father being an athlete in his early years because he was short and did not have the body shape of an athlete. Also, in the story he looks his watch whenever he entered his car to "top" his record in speeding; while, on the movie, this is not the father's characteristic.
I liked the way that the snow was used as a symbol of death, and coldness, because there was a whole scene shot on the snow and the two main characters were sort of disappearing in the snow while they were walking, especially Jenny, since she was going away from Oliver.. She was going to die..

In conclusion, even though there were slight differences between the movie and the story, I enjoyed both of them and for the record, I did cry just a little while I watched the movie. hihi :)))

And do not forget: "Love means never having to say you're sorry."
