Love Again Movie Review

The classic premise of You’ve Got Mail

In Love Again, Celine is present in her role of being herself. Celine has just returned to being active after overcoming the pain of being abandoned by her beloved husband and manager, Rene Angelil. She became something of a love therapist and mother figure for Rob by providing advice and support to help him in his love life. Rob then succeeded and became acquainted with Mira and they started dating.

Love Again is a recent variation on the “anonymous pen pal” premise similar to the film Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan starred in You’ve Got Mail in 1998. Or even further, the premise is the same as the 1940 film, which was still a black and white film, The Shop Around the Corner who exchanged romantic messages via correspondence. The premise of the three films has one thing in common when two strangers send anonymous messages to each other and end up falling in love with each other.

In this film, Celine Dion is the selling point of Love Again, but a central narrative that follows the romantic entanglement between Rob and a still grieving Mira. Basically, Love Again explores themes of love, chance, hope and the presentation of wounded souls. Mira Ray, who is still grieving and hurting from the loss of the people she loves, finds it very difficult to forget John and chooses to confine herself rather than “move on”. Meanwhile, even though Rob’s heartbreak was not detailed further, he still often “stalked” his old girlfriend through his social media accounts.

The two wounded souls finally met each other and what became a problem was the non-disclosure of one of the parties about how he actually knew the true state of his partner, who first poured out the sadness and longing that was sent via a cell phone message found by Rob. But after that everything then became the cliché of all romance movies.
