YOU HAVE MESAGE IN A BOTTLE!!!

"l could always steer for home when you were my home." This is the first sentence that sounded me very interesting at the beginning of the movie. I had not known the meaaning of 'steer for something' until I learnt that it means 'to move on a particular direction'. This is the first word that I learnt in this movie:) When Terresa is reading the mesage in the bottle, there are nice explanations that draw may attention very much:) For example:

"You came into my dream last night with that smile...

... that always held me like a lover...

...rocked me like a child.

All l remember from the dream..."

Actually, this is a nice movie. You can find that the concept of 'love' is depicted in a different way. At first, it seems to be a very familiar story, but once you continue watching it, you find uncommon nuances in the realtionship of two lovers.the story starts on a deserted New England beach, where Teresa as a divorced mother with a young son is taking a stroll. During her stroll, she spies a glass bottle out of the wet loam. Picking up it, she finds a typewritten note inside addressed to a woman named Catherine, whom the unknown writer deeply misses. Moved by the heartfelt and stirring words of love lost, Teresa shows the strange letter to her coworkers upon her return to the Chicago Tribune. There, she works as a researcher.

Seeing the potential for a great human interest story, Teresa's editor decides to run the letter as a front page item. Suprisingly, the letter's publication generates an overwhelming response from Tribune readers, who send hundreds of pieces of fan mail in support. While reading lots of mails with her best friend Lina, a couple of letters pick their interest. These letters are from individuals who found two similar letters stuffed in glass bottles.

While arranging her research resources, Teresa finds out the originator of the mysterious messages. It is a shipwright from North Carolina named Garret Blake, who lost his wife Catherine two years prior. Desperately wanting to better know the man, Teresa git on the next plane and finds herself in the peaceful seaside village where Garret calls home. Pretending to be a tourist, Teresa strikes up a fast friendship with the grieving shipwright, in search of material that she can use for writing a follow up piece. However, Teresa gets more than she bargained for when she falls under Garret's spell as she comes to understand the man and his unforgettable loss. Unfortunately, as the relationship between Teresa and Garret deepens, so does the risk of Teresa's true motives being revealed.

Although it has so much spectacular, what I did not like about is that the core of the story, the romance between Garret and Teresa lacks emotional resonance. It id not something memoriable. The performances of the characters are not so much good.

Another shortfall of the film is that there is no sense of urgency to the proceedings. While the issue of Teresa publishing the letters in the Tribune eventually becomes a source of contention in the relationship, it is not a major source of complications. In fact, the scene in which Garret inevitably finds out the truth comes across as overly-melodramatic and his reaction seems to be implausibility. Had Teresa gone to find Garret with a story deadline hanging over her head, and if the letters had made Garret a national celebrity assuring him a thorough hounding by the popular press, then the stakes of the relationship and its consequences would have been higher. Consequently, the dynamics of the relationship would have been more interesting, and the struggle to keep the relationship alive would have been worth fighting.

If you're looking for an old-fashioned romance with two beautiful but bland people, you might find "Message in a Bottle" adequate. Other than some nice scenery and some interesting character bits from the supporting actors, "Message in a Bottle" is an overly-long and emotionally-manipulative movie:)

" I'm taking her out tomorrow morning."

"Test saiI. Round the point and back." are the other sentences that Drew my attention.
