Director: Woody AllenWriter: Woody AllenStars: Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Emily MortimerSummary: From a humble background and with traditional values, Irish Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is still struggling financially despite being a recently retired high ranked tennis pro. He has taken a job as a tennis instructor at an upscale London tennis club, although he knows there is a better life for him somewhere down the road. He is befriended by one of his students, wealthy Tom Hewett (Matthew Goode). Chris starts to date Tom's sister, Chloe Hewett (Emily Mortimer), a girl-next-door type who is immediately attracted to Chris. Chloe quickly knows she wants to marry Chris, and through her businessman father, Alec Hewett (Brian Cox), tries to help Chris and their future by getting him an executive job in Alec's company. In his life with the Hewetts, Chris begins to enjoy the finer things in life. Through it all however, Chris cannot help thinking about Nola Rice (Scarlett Johansson), a struggling American actress who he meets at the Hewett estate and who is Tom's unofficial fiancée. Nola is vivacious, and she knows the effect she has on men, including Chris. Unlike Chris, Nola is not accepted by Tom and Chloe's mother, the outspoken Eleanor Hewett (Dame Penelope Wilton). Chris has to decide if he can give up what he has been able to achieve with Chloe and the Hewetts, or if the passion he feels for Nola is stronger than the finer things in life to which he is now accustomed. He may go to any length to have his cake and eat it too. —Huggo

Serendipity

September 1, 2021 By Antoine Excidet

Serendipity (2001) is a Jon Cusack and Kate Beckinsale film about love and you can see ample information about it below. It is available for free on the web.

A good example of Resilience in a relationship, while a comedy, and fantasy, is the film, Serendipity, starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale. The two leads are both of high Intelligence, and they fall in love over witty banter, only much later to discover how important that Beliefs are in the survival of a romance, or in this case, even a "star-crossed love." The film also wonderfully highlights how a high IQ indicates an equal amount of left-brained and right-brained intellect, since the male lead (Cusack) sometimes seems to be a King and at other times, more of a romantic Lover personality, while Beckinsale's character sometimes is the hard-driving Warrior personality, but at other times, is outright magical in her words and behavior.

While a fantasy, it is a study in the kind of persistence, and Resilience that lasting couples can only hope to strive for if they are to make it in today's pessimistic, divorce-ridden world. Both of them bounce between the vices of Capriciousness (too flexible and Resilient, as if to quickly get over the loss of their love), and being Frail (and utterly broken inside, at the repetitive loss of each other, just slipping through each other's grasp time and time again through the story. That is, until they finally surrender to the Faith that they are destined to be together and the Belief in the spiritual power of love over the miles. Faith is a close analogue of Resilience in the realm of the spiritual connection of romance.
