I liked when Big sent her all those emails and finally he broke down and used a poem.
You just gave me chills.
I loved that too.
And I was begining to doubt him...all sitting alone at a bar eating on New Year's eve...:rolleyes: Like we care....pfttt.
Here is one from Napolean. I don't think this was the one in the "book". Big killed me with the typical short guy, giving away everything up front line.
Paris, December 1795
I wake filled with thoughts of you. Your portrait and the intoxicating evening which we spent yesterday have left my senses in turmoil. Sweet, incomparable Josephine, what a strange effect you have on my heart! Are you angry? Do I see you looking sad? Are you worried?... My soul aches with sorrow, and there can be no rest for you lover; but is there still more in store for me when, yielding to the profound feelings which overwhelm me, I draw from your lips, from your heart a love which consumes me with fire? Ah! it was last night that I fully realized how false an image of you your portrait gives!
You are leaving at noon; I shall see you in three hours.
Until then, mio dolce amor, a thousand kisses; but give me none in return, for they set my blood on fire.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Actually, Vera Wang was the first gown of the shoot.
It would have been a crime not to have her, I agree.
wow, and here i was thinking HOW could this miss out on vera wang?! ends up - i guess b/c she was the very first - *I* missed her! haha. eh well...although i AM glad, b/c i thought for such a fashionista, would've been a MAJOR faux pas.

huh?
i thought EVERY e-mail had a poem...or a love letter...written by 'other great men' as carrie said.....and his LAST e-mail he wrote, but no poem...just one line? or am i totally misremembering all this? either scenario is entirely plausible....:p

My beloved angel,
I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them.
I can no longer think of anything but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you. I grasp you, I kiss you, I caress you, a thousand of the most amorous caresses take possession of me.
As for my heart, there you will always be - very much so. I have a delicious sense of you there. But my God, what is to become of me, if you have deprived me of my reason? This is a monomania which, this morning, terrifies me.
I rise up every moment saying to myself, "Come, I am going there!" Then I sit down again, moved by the sense of my obligations. There is a frightful conflict. This is not life. I have never before been like that. You have devoured everything.
I feel foolish and happy as soon as I think of you. I whirl round in a delicious dream in which in one instant I live a thousand years. What a horrible situation!
Overcome with love, feeling love in every pore, living only for love, and seeing oneself consumed by griefs, and caught in a thousand spiders' threads.
O, my darling Eva, you did not know it. I picked up your card. It is there before me, and I talk to you as if you were there. I see you, as I did yesterday, beautiful, astonishingly beautiful.
Yesterday, during the whole evening, I said to myself "she is mine!" Ah! The angels are not as happy in Paradise as I was yesterday!

you are right. all the poems first. and then a one line email written by him.

oh boy....evidently Im cinematically dyslexic...:p
I thought that's what happened but I guess I'm wrong. I couldve sworn he was writing these short little emails like "Im so sorry" then pulled out the romantic poetry...
Well I did see on a Monday night, so....
I stand corrected

DVD out...yesterday!
watched the flick, again, last night....and yep, he quotes EVERY letter from that book of love letters from famous men - which i believe is a ficitional book? - but the words are correct. i do know of the letter by beetoven in any case.
anyhoo...if you haven't seen the movie and were at all a fan of the series......rent it NOW! if you love the series, go get the DVD! love it, love it, love it.
oh, and watching the wedding gown scene more carefully...yep, vera wang the first gown. don't love it. i STILL think the most beautiful was the oscar de la renta gown...when she was standing on the ladder. i think? it was oscar....or christian dior. i can't remember the designer now. too many gowns and names all at once.
also, still love seeing bryant park figure so prominently.
Ah, thanks for the reminder! I need to add this movie to my birthday wishlist!

You don't think much of trust
