The way we were


Here's a question for you: what makes you happy?, is it what you own, or what you experience?

This is the question I was left wondering after watching 'The Way We Were', on DVD last Saturday night.

Remember the film, Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford, play 2 star-crossed lovers. Theirs is a love story sparked by the attraction of opposites, but is so destined to fail because... their just too different!

She's a politico, he's a jock. She wants social-justice, he wants to make it big in Hollywood. They're so in love - but it'll never work. And no amount of screaming at the screen (on my part), will make any difference.

They view life so differently. Her measure of success, is in the 'difference' she can make. His-is-in, how much money he can make. They are destined to go their separate ways...and they do.

They say Love conquers all-I'm not so sure. Good film.
