Finally Had Something Personal to Say

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, here is a short clip from one of the few romance movies I have ever really enjoyed, Chasing Amy. For those of you that don't know, Chasing Amy is written and directed by Kevin Smith and takes place in the Jay and Silent Bob universe. The film is a refreshing twist on the boy-gets-girl story, filled with Smith's signature witty dialog and laugh out loud moments. It is also Smith's deepest movie and explores such complicated topics as how far love alone can keep a relationship together, the power of forgiveness, and how a few simple acts and emotions can radically alter the path of one's life. Lying in the middle of the movie, in this scene we see Holden (the boy) confess his love to Alyssa (the girl), and her immediate reaction.
