Five times that Got 2 Believe movie captures the real magic of love

‎

Seeking realness in something surreal is a very confusing plot in life for many. What if the one you've been waiting for is in front of you but you just cannot admit the truth about how you feel? The feeling of being in denial undoubtedly conflicts with the escalation of turning the magical into a lifetime reality. Since love gives us undefined emotions and behavior, it is important for us to understand that romance shouldn't always be expected.

‎

‎Now, Got 2 Believe is a 2000s Filipino film that features a timeless take on what real love is. Here come the 5 moments that will remind you that the real magic of love does not follow a script.

‎

‎1. Breaking the no-more-love curse after 25

‎Following a superstition seems like a magical move, like how Tori's family believed that she needs to find a husband before turning 25 years old, or else she'll never have one. But Toni found her love, Lorenz, as she turned 25, and their relationship magically grew deeper, as no one could expect. This proves that love can wait; when it's time, it is not rushed. 

‎

‎2. Experiencing fairytale love in a movie-like reality in Got 2 Believe

‎The fairy tales and destiny in relationships are very unrealistic for everyone except Toni and Lorenz. Her dreams go beyond the wedding dress she designs, while Lorenz captures them. He doesn't believe in weddings yet gets a euphoric feeling of love behind the single candid photos of Toni, especially in every qqqqqqwedding event. The magic happens when their differing perspectives about weddings connect their hearts.

‎

‎3. Magical truth in dog and cat-like relationships

‎Who says a cat and dog cannot be meant to be? Tori and Lorenz portray a very childish attitude towards one another, full of bickering, teasing, and annoyance. But transformations occur in light moments of friendship when they see each other through soft glances. It captures the magical truth that even the one that annoys you makes you feel complete or makes you feel you can't live without them. Their dynamic friendship grew into something deeper and romantic.

‎

‎4. Love beyond the camera's magical lens

‎To have the passion for something, what a person does in their lives can be doubted for their attachment to reality. The magical turn happens when Toni finally realizes that Lorenz is not only committed to his photography, but he is also a man with feelings and hope for a romantic relationship. This was proven from the moment Lorenz chased her in the airport and confessed his love attachment towards her. 

‎

‎5. First epic love shot of Toni from Lorenz

‎Through the lens of Lorenz, a stranger to Toni, her embarrassing image was captured and revealed her raw charm and beauty. Toni's annoyance met Lorenz's teaseful character, depicting a slow enemies-to-lovers trope. It is where everything started, the most epic but unexpected beginning of their relationship, depicting that finding true love is not always intentional but rather sparks in a very organic encounter.

‎

‎Got 2 Believe instills real magic of love that doesn't happen when we force it. Every scene in the movie shows how love can start out unexpectedly and develop profoundly outside of the boundaries of passion and the camera. It also tells us that we must allow ourselves to feel before pursuing and nearly losing the chance to fulfill what our heart desires.

‎"Love isn't a decision. It's a feeling. If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but much less magical." - Trey Parker and Matt Stone
