“I had to come all the way from the highway and byways of Tallahassee, Florida Saint Francis, Kansas to Motor City, Detroit Columbus, Ohio, to find my true love. If you gave me a million years to ponder, I would never have guessed that true romance and Detroit Columbus would ever go together. And ‘till this day, the events that followed all still seem like a distant dream. But the dream was real and was to change our lives forever. I kept asking Clarence why our world seemed to be collapsing, and things seemed to be getting so shitty. And he’d say, ‘that’s the way it goes, but don’t forget, it goes the other way too.’ That’s the way romance is, usually, that’s the way it goes, but every once in a while, it goes the other way too.” – Alabama
These are the opening lines to "our" movie.
If music is out first love, then we would say movies is our second and of all the movies over all the years, this one is truly "ours". From the first time we saw it and every time since, when we watch it we see it as a love story through and through. Just two people meeting and connecting in a way they never have before.
Shannon made mention in an earlier post about "get who gets you" and honestly that's what we did.
On my (Larry) 50th birthday, Shannon surprised me with two very unique, cool, "us" gifts. She found an artist who would take a movie and then take the dominant color from each frame to create one long color pattern. They then turn that sequence of colors into a canvas painting.
One was for my favorite movie, and the other was True Romance...
