I know gmelon it gets you like that, that is why I love the film.
The couple were so lucky, they had many happy healthy years together. He was always in a job h that he loved and she loved her life as a Housewife, then as a bonus they had their son.
I do not know what makes you sad about the film but I get it.
They had a lovely no stress life together, I liked watching it because it was nice to see that a life like that is Possible
When I read the book I had to hide it away after as it was too traumatic for me. Many many years later i have never opened it again. I am able to read 99.9 per cent of things but somehow this just touched me.
