| based on equally unique circumstances. My favorite | | | | love. Let me share first how I see true love. True love |
| story line in the movie is that of Jaime and Aurelia, | | | | is when two people see each other without looking |
| played by Colin Firth and Lucia Moniz. Despite the fact | | | | since they can see their love even with eyes closed. It |
| that Jaime only speaks English while Aurelia speaks | | | | is when they hear each other without shouting. It is |
| Portuguese, the two felt the strong connection brought | | | | when they understand even before the other has |
| by love between them. In the end, he proposed to her | | | | started explaining. True love is not based on how your |
| in broken Portuguese and she accepted it with the little | | | | partner wonderfully plays with words to sound like |
| English that she has learned. | | | | music in your ears. It is when you hear music even |
| This is one of the beautiful examples of love that | | | | when your special someone has not made any sound. |
