I have just met you and I love you.

Ok, so perhaps “met” isn’t entirely accurate, and “love” is a strong word. But, I thoroughly enjoy the blog, which I just stumbled upon recently, and I’m chiming in here to say that I also loved Up. So much that I watched it two days in a row. And I cried, too.

Mrs. NBFB cried too. I too was moved, but not to the point of crying. Because I’m a big strong man.

I thought it was a very excellent story about love. Afterwards it occurred to me that maybe the house represented the burden of his memories preventing him from continuing to live, but i’m not sure. I cried three times. Well, four if you count the time i laughed ’til i cried during the sword fight scene. My favorite line “I was hiding under the porch because I love you” The writers know their dogs for sure.

It was not just the couple that made me cry, but the little boy talking about how he and his dad used to sit on the curb eating ice cream and counting cars. “It’s funny, but it is the boring things I remember most.”

Wow. Really? I didn’t see it as a case of “let” at all. I think he wanted to go as much as she did. I guess you bring your own prejudices and perspective to things like this.

But I saw it as one of those things they always vowed to do and never got around to doing, because living their lives got in the way.
