The Proposal

Happy Valentine's  Day!

 I hope you all have a wonderful and amazing day, I have decided to write about the movie the proposal starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds,  Betty White

The movie starts off with Margret Tate who is from Canada and she is an executive editor in chief of a New York Publishing Company, and the way she displays her personality no one really likes her, or talks to her very much.

She learns from her boss that her visa renewal application has been denied due to a visa term violation and that she faces deportation back to Canada. 

Her assistants name is Andrew Paxton, he is her underpaid assistant she doesn't want to lose her job or her life in New York she tells him to marry her so she can get her green card.

 To also to get him to agree to marry her she tells him if she is deported his years as being her assistant will be lost, and forgotten it will set his dream back of becoming an Editor. 

A Us Immigration Agent named Gilbertson informs them that he suspects that their engagement is fake and that they are committing a Fraud to avoid Margaret's deportation. 

He explains to them they will each be questioned about each other separately. If their answers don't match each other Margaret will be deported to Canada permanently, and Andrew will be convicted of a felony,including a 250,000 fine and five years in prison.  

Before he agrees to officially marry her he insists that Margret make him an editor after their marriage and publish a book he has recommend to her and she accepts his offer.

 They travel to Andrew's hometown of Sitka, Alaska to meet his family which includes his mother Grace, and grandmother Annie who is known as Gammy. 

On the way to the family's home Margaret learns Andrew and his family are very wealthy, evidence by most business having the family's name on it. 

The family has a welcome home party that is where Andrew confronts his father Joe who is upset with him because he is dating the boss who he has disliked for a long time, he believes he is using her to get ahead in his career. 

After the argument is over, Andrew announces he and Margret are getting married, the next day Grace and Annie take Margret out for  her bachelorette party, she steps away from the party for a minute she comes across Andrew's ex girlfriend named Gertrude she tells Margret that Andrew wanted to become an Editor and make his own life, he proposed to her she didn't accept his offer because she didn't want to leave Sitka for New York. 

The following day the family convinces Andrew and Margret to get married. After Spending some Time with Andrew's family she realizes how close they all are, which moves Margret very deeply. 

 She gets on one of his boats, and she speeds away with Andrew, while on the boat she admits to him she has been alone since she was 16 when her parents died. and has forgotten what it is like to have a family.  She lets go of the helm and goes to the back of the boat, Andrew takes over the boat and  makes a sharp turn to avoid hitting a buoy, Margaret falls out the boat and Andrew saves her she can't swim. 

They make it back to the house and discover the immigration officer has contacted Joe and informed him of the possible fraud between Andrew and Margret. In response he flew the officer to Sitka where he offers them a deal, if they confess the marriage is a fake Margaret will be deported and there will be no further penalties, they refuse to accept the offer claiming to be in love. 

However the day of the wedding, Margaret touched by Andrew's family sincerity stops the ceremony and tells the truth to the guests and the immigration officer who tells her she has TwentyFour hours to return home to Canada. 

She returns to the house to pack her belongings, Andrew rushes to her room and sees she has already left and that she has left his book manuscript with a note of praise and promise to publish it. Gertrude comforts him and asks him if he is going to go after her. As he is on his way to find her he gets into another argument with his father Joe, a couple more dramatic scenes happen after this, it is a happy ending for everyone the movie will leave you with a smile on your face and joy in your heart, it will also keep you thinking what is going  to happen next in the movie? 

Everyone does an outstanding job in the movie you can really feel the characters who are the actors are portraying really come to life. 

I really like this movie because you see how Margaret's character transforms and changes as the movie goes along, you see how she is tough and strong on the outside, on the inside she is kind, caring, and has a desire to be liked and cared for she just has forgotten how to show love and kindness because she lost something that she loved and cared for very much, it was easier for her to be strong and a little bossy on the outside because that is what she has been doing since she was 16. 

I can relate to her through her strength,  there some events that have happened in my life where I have had to be strong, and tough because life can be hard sometimes even when life is hard you have to keep standing up and being the strong person and tough person that you are, and know that you can get through what life is throwing at you in the moment. 

I love how the family is showing love to each other throughout the movie , I am a big family person and  I love how my family is always there for me whenever I need them, I know they will always be there for me because they love me very much.  I am glad that God blessed me with a good, loving, kind, caring, big heart because I have so many friends and family that I can share my Love and Big Heart with and they share their love and heart in return to me. 

I also picked this movie because Sandra Bullock is one of my favorite actresses I enjoy a lot of her movies, and this is one of my favorite ones. And it also reminds me of the love verse love is patient, love is kind, love is not proud, it keeps no records of wrongs. it’s not easily angered and rejoices with the truth. Corinthians 13. And always remember to be loving and kind to one another. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good rom-com.
