little Black Book

"Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me."

It's 12 midnight and I just finished watching little black book. I finally spied it on sale this afternoon while grocery shopping. Eight bucks is the lowest price, it couldn't go cheaper than that.

When I expect less from a movie, I always end up liking it so much more. Quoting directly from the dvd cover, this movie is wickedly funny. I liked it because of its hardcore depiction of reality. It revealed one of the main hindrances in a relationship. One example is lying. Intentionally changing or altering facts is lying. But omission of the facts could also be lying. Scapegoaters love this excuse. They say what one doesn't know, doesn't hurt her/him. Or that they weren't lying, they just withheld the truth. So basically, the story revovles around this.

The reason why I could relate to this movie is because there are a few people I know who are in serious relationships but are blinded by the truth. The naked, painful truth about their bfs. The signs are right up on their noses and yet they refuse to stare at it in the eye. They probably think that they could change their ways but the odds are low especially when he cheats on you the second time around. I believe that they are blinded by the pseudo perfect relationship they are having afraid to realize that mr. right ain't the right guy after all. Unfortunately, some women love their man so much to the point of sacrificing their own self-esteem. Little did they know, they deserve so much better than those lying scumbags. I don't want to give out the details of the story because it would be such a spoil to those who have not seen it yet. I highly, highly recommend this especially to those who are currently looking out for mr. right, or may think she is with mr. right. It's a very good eye opener because the movie didn't sugar coat the reality of relationships with men, their nature and the things women put through with them.

Then, after seeing the movie...consider yourself warned.
