Untamed Heart

Caroline: He doesn't make sense, I don't make sense, together we make sense.

A line from the movie untamed heart which will be playing on one of the cable movie channels pretty soon.. I have never seen the movie but those words seem to stick with me ... Sometimes things in life don’t make sense we don’t make sense neither to people yet we love them anyway and they love us .. But it seems when two people who don’t make sense individually seem to click make sense when they are together – hmm I may confused myself there lol well anyways .. its hard to put into words but the way I see two people who are trying to make sense of life seem to do better with each other – and this would mean through love care & support – one acts as support for the other .. So from the point of view of people watching they may not have a chance but in their own little world they seem to do ..

Btw the movie stars Marisa Tomei & Christian Slater .Untamed heart is a 1993 written byTom Sierchio It mixes drama with romance and comedy and tells the story of a young woman, always unlucky in love, trying to find happiness with a very shy young man. The whole unlucky in love sounds so darn familiar lol …

Caroline (Tomei) is a young woman working as a waitress who is always unlucky in love. Adam (Slater) is a shy busboy who saves Caroline when two men try to rape her on her way home one night. She then gets to know him. They become close, but she finds out his past, and the attackers come after Adam for revenge. As their relationship progresses, Caroline discovers that Adam has a heart defect, though he claims he has a baboon heart.

Roger Ebert, a film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times felt that the movie was "kind of sweet and kind of goofy, and works because its heart is in the right place." Hal Hinson of The Washington Post said that the film "is hopelessly syrupy, preposterous and more than a little bit lame, but, still, somehow it got to me." Vincent Canby of The New York Times, said that the movie "is to the mind what freshly discarded chewing gum is to the sole of a shoe: an irritant that slows movement without any real danger of stopping it."

Maybe just maybe I will catch it when it comes on … who knows
