One Of My Favorite Romance Films: Someone To Watch Over Me By Sting



I'm not much on romance films but there's a hint of common sense then I might be motivated to watch it. I always believe that no matter how much in love you are, common should always be in the equation. You need it to know it if it is true love or just infatuation. Even if you don't get the girl in the end, the fact that you still kept your senses intact makes it worth it. One of my favorite romantic films was "Someone To Watch Over Me" where Sting sang title song which was originally done by Cole Porter.

The film was about a rich socialite who witness a murder and the policeman who was assigned to watch over her. Though they were to very different backgrounds, they were attracted to each other during the time he watched over her. This created a lot of complications for both of them as it was starting affect both their lives. Things came to a head when the killer targetted the cop's family to bring the girl out. In the end, the killers were killed and they went their separate ways with the consolation that they shared something special.

The reason why I liked this film is because the characters saw that eventually it had to come to an end. He still loved his family and she was only looking for someone to lean on. They shared something special and now it was time to move on. If that was done here, they would make it like they got together and that wasn't realistic. For me, letting go like that strengthens a relationship even if it means going on separate ways and that's why it's one of my favorite films.
