the bridges of madison county is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking love stories i've ever seen, and it's a crime there aren't more people talking about it. i read the book and watched the movies a lot of times. the story in itself, the beauty, the tragedy, the intense love, the chemistry, the poetry, the pain, the sadness, the emotions, the impossibility, the "morally wrong" love, the way they were made for each other but were condemned to be together only four days, the way there's no happiness at all in the ending, no bitter sweet, no hopeful, only sad, the way their meeting came too late but wouldn't have worked sooner, the way everything seems so unfair and yet so logical, the way being separated was a torture but being together would have been the end, the way their love could work only this way, teared apart until the end, the way they never stopped loving each other. the way their love was supposed to happen but they were destined to experienced it together for four days only.
francesca being such an amazing and interesting woman, robert being such an amazing and interesting man. them being older than most characters in love stories. the messages about dreams and lost dreams, dreams we wanted to realize but that died over time, dreams we let to die because we did what we were expected to do or followed someone else, dreams women had but had to give up because of marriage and motherhood. the messages about classic family and women's place in society, about marriage, about children, about technology, about love, about existing without living and realizing one day we wasted our time, about how important it is to appreciate beauty, about how sometimes things are impossible and unfair and there's nothing you can do, about how you sometimes forget yourself and your dreams, lost in a life that isn’t the one you wanted, and about how a single person is enough to remind you of who you really are and of what you really want. about how painful it is to have to let this person go. about whether it is a good thing or not to think of people in your life first, before thinking of yourself. about how talking about other people's lifes can be horrible and dangerous. about how choosing safety and security isn’t always the right solution. about how love isn’t only being with someone good, but someone who makes you vibrate and live. about how life isn’t over after 30, about how love can come anytime. about how sometimes it comes but can't do anything more. about art. about travelling. about life.
i just really love the bridges of madison county.

Akatsuki ships like random gifs of couples from random romantic movies, cause I’m sad and I need self comfort:
Kakuhida: Noah Calhoun & Allie Hamilton from the Notebook, ‘cause toxic love is their language.
Kisaita: Eliza Esposito & The Amphibian Man from the shape of water. A lonely woman falling in love with a semi-human marine creature, who is far more human than many of the ones who surround her
Pain and Konan: Einar Wegner/Lili Elbe & Gerda Wegener from The Danish Girl. Just a lot of angst from a woman completely devoted to her partner, who is like two people in one and is constantly having a battle with everyone and themself.
Sasodei: Sam Wheat & Molly Jensen from Ghost. Do I really need to explain why? Neverending honeymoon phase, art, eternal love and suffering over one partner’s death and the trauma of leading with it? Yep, sounds like sasodei to me.
