same time, next year...

I first saw this movie when i was in high school and loved it then. It's been great to see it again as an adult. I don't see the infidelity as being glorified, if anything it emplifies how a forbidden affair is just a sad shadow of what a real love relationship could be. This movie shows how each person changes and how the other has missed out on so much of that person's life and how they are only allowed just a glimpse of each other (meeting at the same place -same time, every year). They aren't able to be available to each other during difficult times or take part in any of the joyous events. The song makes it more beautiful...the last time i felt like this... hay look what love can do..

It's definitely a relationship based more on mutual respect and friendship, despite its extra-marital foundation. You get the feeling that these two individuals are truly soul-mates who just happened to meet.
