love more dangerous than war?

The Edge of Love is loosely based around the marriage of Dylan Thomas' to Catilin Thomas. Sienna Miller stars as the fiesty and flirtatious Catilin opposite Vera (Dylan's childhood sweetheart) played by Keira Knightly. One of my favourite actors plays Vera's husband, Cillian Murphy. So an excellent cast and an excellent script. I loved the intensity between Vera and Dylan as well as the intensity between best friends Catilin and Vera. It was such a good film, set in Wales and London, I would say that it had similarities to Atonement however Knightley's welsh accent was fantastic.
One thing I did note was how brilliantly Miller played her role. I have not actually seen her in anything substantial and here I though she was strong and beaming with attitude. I liked this film a lot, it shows that true love is not only between men and women but also between friends. And true love lasts a lifetime.

All We Have Are The Choice We Make

Last night I watched The Adjustment Bureau starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt.
It got me thinking about fate and chance. Are there higher forces/beings/spirits whatever you want to call them that make the choices for us only allowing us to believe that we make them by ourselves. The film goes along the fact that say for instance we spill our coffee on ourselves before we go to work. We would of course change our clothes and therefore making us a little late for work. Would this be classed as fate or chance? It was fate in the film that Matt Damon in the film ran into Emily Blunt which then inspired him to make one of the most compelling and moving speeches of his political career. However it was chance that brought them together again, twice.
We are told to believe that free will is available to us, yet is it really?! I've never really though about this sort of thing before but just think, the world is kept in order by people who make the decisions for us. By a higher being that keeps us all in check, so next time I spill a cup of coffee or run into some Matt Damon lookalike I will be asking myself, is this fate or is it chance?
