Reading those lines brought tears to my eyes, too for I'm longing for her and now counting down the days for her arrival. Though we are far apart and separated by the oceans but we both know that our love knows no bounds! The mother-daughter relationship is a sacred bonding which only the duo know and feel. Most of the time the feelings were beyond descriptions which words could not describe but certainly could be sensed by them and them alone! In silence my heart soars to her. Anyway, after I replied her message I continued watching the two and half hours movie till the end which once again made my eyes welled with tears for it taught me more about human relations and secrets of the hearts.
The Dickens adapted movie which was set in 18th century London and Paris focused on many human relationships which one should emulate between a devoted long lost father Dr Alexander Manette and his blue eyes-golden hair daughter Lucie Manette; between master and servant as protrayed by Charles Darnay who had given up his ties with the noble Evremonde and the risk he took to save his servant Gabelle. And vice versa in the character of governess Miss Pross who was very loyal to her charge Lucie Manette. Also the beautiful relationship between loyal friends the banker Mr Lorry with Dr Mannet a former long-term prisoner in Bastille and among stranger turns saviour in the character of disreputable but brilliant lawyer Sydney Carton who saved the life of his 'near-perfect resemblance' in Charles Darnay an exiled French aristocrat.
The moving movie also portrays true love knows no bounds as showed by Carton who sacrificed himself for Lucie Manette's happiness whom he loves dearly although he knew the unrequited love he gave can never be returned. Yet, the human relationship showed here not necessarily stemmed for lust but love that derived from pure hearts. To take the place of Lucie's husband Charles Darnay for the guillotine may be viewed as a 'foolish act' but certainly one would do in the name of pure love to another without wanting anything in return! And that was exactly what Carton did and he felt so good with no grieve at all. Before his sacrificial death among others he uttered in soothing certainty, "I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss ... I see him winning it so well, that my name is made illustrious there by the light of his ... It is far, far better thing that I do, than I ever have done; it is far, far better rest I go than I ever known."
Indeed, as shown by all the noble characters in the movie my true love to my daughter knows no bounds as similarly shown by my better half to me. On this, part of the lyrics of the song written by Robbie O'Connell (1988) lingered in my mind:
When a man's in love, he feels no sorrow
His heart is free of every care
He only dreams about tomorrow
He seldom speaks of yesterday
Love knows no bounds, love has no season
It blooms as bright as a Summer rose
It lasts for years or for no reason
It fades away like the Winter snow
Sacred Love Between Mother & Daughter Knows No Bounds! It has no season nor reason. It's always there ... :)
