Chasing the Dream

Chasing the Dream

Last nigh I watched "The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream" on TV. Being a tele-movie it was short and crisp. It was pleasant to watch all through.

The movie is about an unlikely figure skating pair: A champion figure skater paired with a tough tomboyish ice hockey player. I found it very enjoyable watching all the twist and turns and jumps they do so smoothly like in a ballet.

To win the nationals, the pair must do a new life-threatening move nobody has risked doing lately. The move involves the man picking the woman up by an ankle, swinging her up and down and around at greater speeds and parabolic angles and throwing her up into the air, after which the pair spins identically but at different heights. It ends with the man catching the woman on her way down as they both come out of their spins, bringing her down on to her feet.

When they executed this move it was so spectacular, I involuntarily stood up and clapped with joy. After a pair has gone through such an experience is it any wonder / surprise that they expressed their love for each other? They could have done that move only as a team with trust in each other - main ingredient for love, any kind of love between any two individuals.

I liked the movie very much. I am romantic at heart. It made me bubble with happiness and energy for the rest of the evening.
