For those who have not watched the movie UP by Disney-Pixar, you probably are still missing out on a heart-warming show that can on one hand really send you rolling on the floor in laughter, and immediately leave you in tears the next moment.
Never mind the plot or the synopsis. That is not the point I want to make with this post. Yes, this is one of the better movies around. However, the thing I would like to highlight here is the relationship between ol' Carl and his wife Ellie.
The "Ellie Badge"
As with all Disney movies, their marriage is what dreams are made of. Their relationship runs all the way back to an adorable and innocent childhood incident which leaves the young Carl star-struck and it progresses all the way to a blissful marriage that ends with the death of Ellie due to a terminal illness. This causes the shy Carl to become reclusive and full of regrets due to their failure to realize their shared dream of going to Paradise Falls. However through all of it he manages to draw inspiration from her memory to achieve the impossible.
Don't they just look so good together?
Which makes me wonder. We don't see much of this happening nowadays anymore. Marriages like these are so rare that they are like actually finding vibranium! The little things that they share and they do makes it all feel very sweet. But the thing that really touched me the most was seeing the missing pages of Ellie's Adventure Book being filled up with all the pictures of them together, not in the outdoors; but in the compound of their home. She made Carl promise and "cross his heart" as a kid to bring them to Paradise Falls, but deep in her heart, her adventure was just being with him.
Now isn't that nice? =D Makes me really wanna grow old with gf!
