Everything About My Wife2025

Rom-coms have become a relic or a thing of the past when it comes to cinema, and getting one every now and then is such a treat. Millennials were raised by romantic dramas and comedies, we have become its number one consumer and our lives were branded and defined by them. That's why even with relationships, they had been our own yardstick when it comes to measuring the kind of love we want. Millennials are now entering their 40's and a lot of us have realized that relationships are not all rainbows and butterflies. We have become jaded of sugar coated happy endings, because in reality they are just really the beginning—we don't see the pain and hardwork in order to keep the fire burning. We are just left alone in the dark. Both characters dive headfirst into their marriage thinking it would be just like those romcoms. Imogen, being a hopeless romantic with her arsenal of k-dramas tried to hold on to their marriage thinking all is well, she just needs to cling to what they have—because that's what a heroine does—they persevere and condone their own pain. She forgot and lost herself in their marriage, completely oblivious about her own dreams and desires. Everything about her personality was now defined by their marriage. As a reflection of her unhappiness, she constantly nags and finds fault in others. It's important to note that, when a person is unhappy (may it be about career, family, relationships, etc) and they don't acknowledge what they feel or they're in denial, as a result, they deflect their own unhappiness into something else, sometimes over things that they don't have control over (like showbiz or politics). I really like that scene where she was inspired to paint again and then she later said, she don't know what made her stopped doing it in the first place. I believe Miguel was merely a plot device for Imogen to rediscover herself, along with Dom trying to unconsciously push her away. Both of them set the wheels in motion, and they were the catapulting points to make her realized that it's time for her to choose herself. I remember some years ago, there were some clamor for realisitc endings. Signaling that our generation have become disillusioned with romance, as we've seen dissolution of marriages, cheating partners, family meddling, infertility issues etc. And yet, several years later, I'm reading several reviews here that they don't like an open ending. Which is quite odd. Maybe the world is healing or maybe we've never stop from being romantics despite the damage? Either way, I wouldn't want it in any another way. The hurt that Dom inflicted on Imo is almost close to betrayal. It may not be a physical pain, but in my opinion, it's heartbreaking when you know that your trust is broken and that person you swore to share your entire life with could simply go behind your back to make you abandon ship voluntarily--because he's such a coward to communicate or to confront your impending conflicts. He was in it for the better, but never for the worst. Would I want them to get back together? Maybe, or maybe not. I always believe that you can forgive someone but you can never forget what they've done to you. It is romantic indeed to follow the happily ever after ending formula but unfortunately, I prefer this open ending. Because when a movie ends it's just really the beginning. Only time can heal all the wounds.
