Often at times we are given a predicament. Often at times we must confront the reality of circumstance. When we evoke on such a revelation when we find ourselves engaged in the feeling of hopelessness, retraction, or even betrayal. How we answer our own situational existence is dependent on how we embrace the forceful nature of ones ultimatum.
I speak in terms of ultimatums as a generalization of how sometimes it takes that ultimatum to enact a change.
This film was just released last year. It starred Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker as an estranged married, Paul and Meryl. They are a couple coming back to terms of their marriage demise because of circumstances. When the two are witnesses to a murder, they become feared for their lives and forced to be a part of a witness protection program. That program, dead set in Wyoming.
The greatest thing about this film is the force of circumstance. I say it is great because we often become biased to stepping outside our comfort zones.
When comfort becomes the norm and the norm becomes uncomfortable, we can safely assume that the only thing that is going to shake things up a bit is to actually let things shake. In pretenses I make the assumption that witnessing a murder isn't the best way to go when attempting to stir things up. But, we can at least say that being surprised at normalcy is sometimes the catalyst to pushing the boundaries of given ultimatums.
I found this film to enlist a concept that sometimes when the unobtainable seems less than obtainable, you can always allow the hardest times in ones life to turn into the greatest times in ones memory.

49 and counting.. I couldn't agree more. I will always see SJP as Carrie.. its hard to pass her character off as anything else but that. But, she is charming and it was a great balance between her and Hugh.
