Valentine’s Day falls this month and you’re feeling a little, well, sappy? The Her World team recommends these tear-jerkers.
Blue Valentine
“The movie flits between two timelines, from the couple’s initial courtship to the dissolution of their marriage. You go from seeing him (Ryan Gosling) fall so madly in love with her (Michelle Williams) in one timeline that it becomes even more heartbreaking to watch him leave her in the other.” – Hoe I Yune, features writer.
Moulin Rouge
“When Christian (Ewan McGregor) and Satine (Nicole Kidman) do their final duet Come What Maybefore she collapses in his arms and dies, it gets me. Every. Single. Time. It’s overly dramatic, sure, but the heart-wrenching music coupled with superb acting makes his heartbreak so very convincing.” – Alyssa Dhaliwal, online writer.
Love & Other Drugs
Titanic
“The only romantic movie that has ever made me cry. Who on earth in real life would go as far as Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) to protect his love?” – Mary Lim, contributing associate editor.
P.S. I Love You
“Moving on from the death of a loved one isn’t easy. But the thoughtful messages – arranged by a dying man to be delivered to his wife after his death – and the guidance they provide, help the latter (Hilary Swank) rediscover herself and fall in love again. It made me appreciate how short life is and how I should never take my other half for granted.” – Charmaine Lee, beauty writer.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
“I always tear up when Benjamin (Brad Pitt) leaves his pregnant wife (Cate Blanchett) because he knows he’ll be a burden to her due to his reverse ageing. They love each other so much, but sometimes that’s just not enough to stop what life throws at you.” – Cheryl Tan, intern.
