Up ?

So every1 I've talked to about the movie "Up" has given me a sense that the movie is really sad.. especially where the wife leaves the husband after many years of marriage.. I guess they also point to how the husband lost everything he had ever known because of some greedy real estate developer wanting the land.. I don't remember what I was feeling when I 1st watched the movie.. but I still don't really see the sadness of the movie.. I guess it is sad that the wife passed away before the husband.. but at the same time.. It is a fact of life there will be birth and death.. it comes hand in hand.. You cannot have 1 without the other.. I actually found the opening scenes of the movie quite happy and interesting.. Happy in the sense that both the husband and wife were able to find the "1" at a young age and lived for a long time.. Let's just say not every1 can say they did that in their life.. Even though the wife was unable to do what she planned to do.. She might have gained much more by being by the husband's side.. At 1 point in her life.. Going to discover a new place in the world might've been the most important.. but after marriage.. that might have changed.. Metaphorically speaking.. I was happy when the husband "lost" of all the things that cling to his past.. Basically the monetary or physical things that he lost were always in his memory.. Even if he loses them.. he will have it in his heart and memory forever stored away.. I feel like the movie showed us alot of perseverance and letting go of the past.. however difficult it might be.. Even though it was just a movie.. the way he started letting go and discovering the new meaning of life.. is inspiring!
