TEXT from the movie SHALL WE DANCE?
- All these promises that we make and we can break. Why is it, do you think, that people get married, why do people get married?
- For passion.
- No
- That is interesting. Because i would’ve taken you for a romantic. Why then?
- Because we need a witness to our lives. There is a billion people on the planet. I mean. What does anyones life really mean? But in a marriage you are promising to care about everything – the good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things. All of it. All of the time. Every day. You are saying “your life will not go unnoticed, because I will notice it”. “Your life wont go unwitnessed, because I will be your witness.”. You can quote me on that if you like.
- I am sure I will. I was right. You’re a romantic.
I think it is just right. People get married cause they want a witness to their lives, so that they wont live unnoticed, but they will feel important to someone. Do you agree?
