Moonstruck. It’s got everything.

“SLAP... Snap out of it!” Also love the movie; the one good thing Cher has done :o)
Actually, I thought Moonstruck one of the most comprehensive examinations of relationships and love ever depicted in a movie. I watch it every Valentines Day, and I love to count them.
Between a woman and her deceased husband, a woman and a fiance she doesn’t love, a woman and “forbidden fruit”, two brothers who don’t get along, two sisters who don’t get along, an older man and much younger girls (students), a man and his midlife “fling”, a long time married man and woman who are still on fire, and between a long time married man and woman where the man is wandering.
Unrequited love, an older man and his dogs, between an old man and his friends, a man and his dying mother, a daughter and her father, mother and daughter, father and HIS father, and between a man and idealized love, as depicted in the opera. And of course, at the end, the most important relationship of all, the family.
I watched it with some Dutch people once, and they kept asking me if Italians were really like that. LOL.
The only scene that struck me wrong was the man letting his dog urinate on the grave at the cemetary. I don’t know any Italians that would do that.
