Love worth
Everything
What would you do if you can have a second
chance to go back to your most glory time? Will you make the same decision as
you did in the past?
Mike O’Donnell is a 37-year-old unhappily married wage salve
who always blames his wife for the fact that he missed out on a promising
sports career, for he decided to marry her and raise their baby. At the
frustrating point, miracle happened! Mike turns out to be what he looked like
when he was SEVENTEEN! He goes to school with his children, reenters the
basketball team and trys to help his children with the identity of Mark. Things
move on just like 20 years ago, the big game comes. At the critical moment, he
still decides to choose his family and goes back to the 37-year-old Mike O’Donnell
at last.
This is the plot of the movie Seventeen Again. I was deeply touched,
not only because of the attempts Mike has done to his children, but also the
same decision that he makes at last. When years go by, everything can change. Handsome
and charming look can turn to out-of-shape and weather beaten appearance, glory
days can turn to unsuccessful career, harmonious family can turn to unbridgeable
generation gap and divorce, but love is the thing that will never fade away. No
matter how you look, what you are, love will always be there. Sometimes, we may
regret the decision of love, we may wonder if we made the right decision, we
may think of what life will be with another choice. At that moment, we close
our eyes to what love has brought to us. But just as what has happened in the
film, only when everything has slipped out of Mike’s hands does he realize that
the most important thing to him is not how successful the days can be but
staying with the one he loves, staying with his family. Without love, everything
becomes meaningless. So he decides to run after his wife just like he did 20
years ago, but this time, I think, he will never regret his choice of love. So open
our eyes to find love, even love always hidden in the deep. Do not think of
what we have spent, because love worth everything.
“You are the best decision I ever made, I just
forgot… But I am never going to forget again. I thought I wanted a second
chance at life, but now I know I just want a second chance with you.”
