If Only

“If Only” a Romantic drama starring Paul Nicholls as Ian Wyndham & Jennifer Love Hewitt as Samantha Andrews.

Paul is astonishingly handsome ;)

The movie revolves around the lives of two main protagonists: Musician Sam and a Businessman Ian.

Ian takes Sam for granted making Sam feeling vulnerable in the role of the one who loves more.

The first half of the film describes a single day which culminates in a row in which Samantha's frustration boils over. They seem to be on the downswing, have a big fight, and she ends up dead in a car accident.

Stop and rewind.

Ian wakes up the next morning to find that all is well, and it was just a dream.

He realizes this is a sign or an omen of some kind and tries to change the future for the better. He goes to extreme levels to prevent his love from dying.

He tells her that he will take off and that they should spend the day together. She is kind of surprised at his sudden change in temperament and keeps asking him for the rest of the day “What’s wrong?”

As the day proceeds, everything that happened in his dream actually happens for real and every other signal just re-affirms his belief that everything that happened in the dream is going to happen again!!

Throughout the day, we see tremendous transformation in the man.

He takes good care of her… He loves her so much and this one time, he shows it… shows it by doing things that she always wanted and appreciated…

He is scared, really scared deep within, and when she asks him, he can’t tell why!

(Fav Dialogue)

Ian Wyndham: I Love you.

Samantha Andrews: Ooh I Love you too.

Ian Wyndham: I wanna tell you why I love you.

Samantha Andrews: It's... It's raining, you know that right.

Ian Wyndham: I have to tell you this and you need to hear it. I loved you since I met you, but I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today. I was always thinking ahead, making decisions soaked with fear... Today, because of you... what I learned from you; every choice I made was different and my life has completely changed... and I've learned that if you do that, then you're living your life fully... it doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years. Samantha if not for today, if not for you I would never have known love at all... So thank you for being the person who taught me to love... and to be love.

Samantha Andrews: I don't know what to say.

Ian Wyndham: You don't have to say anything... I just wanted to tell you.

The entire dream repeats in real life, but with slight changes.

Ian becomes the victim of the accident in his girlfriend's stead, as he holds her tight for the last time. Leaving Sam inconsolable.

As she sings…

(Fav Lyrics)

It'll be alright

You said

Tomorrow

Don't you cry

Don't you shed a tear

When you wake up

I will still be here

When you wake up

We'll battle all your fears

And now I'll...

Take my heart back

Leave your pictures on the floor

Steal back my memories

I can't take it anymore

I've cried my eyes out

Oh,and now I face the years

The way you loved me

Vanished all the tears.

This movie leaves behind its imprints in our mind.

Life is so erratic.We do all the planning as if we are going to live for an eternity and we forget to live that moment, which may never come back!

So, if you want to tell anyone how much they mean to you, do it today, right now!
Because not all of us get the chance to make up like Ian.
