Simon Birch: When someone you love dies, you don't lose them all at once.



When someone you love dies, you don't lose them all at once. You lose them in pieces over time, like how the mail stops coming. What I remember most to this day was my mother's scent and how I hated it when it began to disappear. First from her closets, then from her dresses she had sewn herself and then finally from her bedsheets and pillow cases. Simon and I never talked much about that day on the baseball field. It was too painful for both of us. For as much as I loved my mother, I knew that Simon loved her just as much. She was the only real mother he ever had." I Was touch by Joe Wenteworth when he said those words, i suddenly stop, and think of my mom. by just simply reminscing what happen, my heart melts. i want to cry. those words that made me appreciate my mother more than what i'm doing right now. that movie is something, it so catchy and i even think if it's base from a true story, but i pause and i said to myself "it really doesn't matter if it's base from true story." the thing is the inspiration that it give to all of it's viewers their childhood memories that joe never forget. i also caught by their friendship despite of their standing in their community, i was amazed by how they hold on to their faith to each other specially simon, he's cute adorable boy that has strong faih in god, he really never let go i was also amazed because his acting is really natural when he sad "sex makes people crazy" and when he touch her classmate boobs, i really don't expect from a boy who's saying that he's an instrument of god that he will do or say something like that. indeed nobody is perfect the movie portray many events that happen in real life, sometime i wonder if there's someone who's just like simon birch, who has faith in god more than everybody else. someone like simon who is willing to give his life just to save his friends, and to joe wenteworth i admire him, he never forget his bestfriend and he even named his son after simon, the film is so heartwarming and my insights about life grew wider. thanks simon and joe :).
