Okay so D TV has its advantages. I can catch up on all the movies I wanted to see just never did for whatever reason. Dying Young just happened to be one of those. The ultimate love story. First for Hillary’s willingness to stay and be Victor’s nurse and then his desire for her to see him normal. Both their fears very legitamate. Hillary’s not knowing if she was strong enough to watch him suffer and his that she would leave when his illness began to be to overwelming. My favorite part was the end and at the same time not wanting it to have an open ending where the viewer could devise the ending. His Lukemia had plagued him for 10 years and he was tired of fighting and she decided to stay and let him know she wasn’t going anywhere.She just wanted him to continue to fight and she would be there if he lived or died. I find myself taking different characteristics from movies and adding them to my list that makes up true blue through and through love. I have discovered since I have begun that not much is on the list it all boils down to: trust, respect, willingness to sacrifce for the other, encouragement and knowing that they instill a desire in you to be all you can be.Movie gets 4 out of 5 stars for the open ending I myself do not like to be kept to my own imagination. I feel I have lost said imagination when I was in the fourth grade shortly after I created my robot Ralph for a project. I’ll tell you more about Ralph some other time.
