Blue Valentine is a romantic drama starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. It is a story of a young working class couple Dean Pereira and Cindy Heller Pereira. Dean works as a painter while Cindy works as a nurse in a medical clinic. They have a daughter named Frankie. Even tho they are both young, they are both ravaged by life and by the experiences leading into their marriage. Dean is a high school drop out coming from a broken home and he has never had a mother figure. He would never have thought of being married and having a family even tho he had fallen in love with Cindy at the first sight. He is a man without ambitions and enjoys his current work, but Cindy thinks that he has much more potential. Cindy is from a dysfunctional family and her previous relationship had an influence on her marriage to Dean. Cindy and Dean head off on an overnight getaway with their daughter which will provide a clearer picture of their marriage. Blue Valentine raises many serious questions and leaves the viewers to ponder upon them. It is an excellent movie, the way in which the couple interacts is magnificently done and the actors did an amazing job at playing their roles. Two main actors definitely have chemistry and it shows on the screen. This movie isn't like the rest, it isn't a form of escapism, it is a view of reality which surrounds us all and it should be on your must view list!
