Sailor Girl's article on a film she really liked...

I have chosen the movie The Vow because is deeply moved me.

It is the story of a very happy couple, Page and Leo.

Up to now all is well.

Until a terrible accident occurs.

Indeed a beautiful evening, while the couple is in the car with a red light, a vehicle strikes them from behind, plunging Paige in a coma.

With its awakening, Leo is destroyed to see that Paige does not remember any more him, nor the  last 5 years of her life.

Her husband became a stranger for her ,which is unbearable for him. 

Moreover, Paige remains persuaded to be still married with her ex husband Jeremy, always in love with her and upsets to be integrated and accept the Bohemian life of her “husband”. 

Nevertheless, he fights of all its forces to regain the love of his wife who does not have any more memories of him.

In seing that his efforts  lead to nothing, Léo decides  to start all over  again from the beginning and to doas if Paige and him had never met and tries to reconquer her.

This movie is even more upsetting when we know that it  draws its inspiration from  true events and story. 

 

The Vow is therefore inspired by a true story, that of Kimand Krickitt Carpenter. 

 

This movie comes from the book “The Vow”. 

 

In  1993, only a few months after their marriage, that the couple had an automobile accident and Krickitt was in the coma. 

At her awakening, the young woman forgot the last eighteen months of her life (of which Kim, her husband). 

This last, then, undertook to conquer the heart of his wife, for the second time. 

Today, Kim and Krickitt are still married and more in love than ever.
So, can  love reappear  twice ?
