Nette asked me if i saw the movie, The Mirror Has Two Faces, of Barbra Streisand and Jeff Bridges. When she got my affirmative response, we started recalling the scenes followed by throwing of opinions. We just had a movie review right there. Hehe. Where can i find a copy, maybe sa “debede store ni ate muslima, hihi“ Bad daw yun… I’m guilty, snif.
Anyway, the synopsis right here was copied and pasted from wikipedia (wikipedia is acknowledged)…
Rose Morgan (Streisand), a shy, plain, middle-aged English Literature Professor at Columbia University, shares a home with her vain, overbearing mother Hannah (Bacall). When her attractive sister Claire (Rogers) starts preparations for her wedding to Alex (Brosnan), Rose begins to feel her loveless life is empty.
Gregory Larkin (Bridges), a Columbia Mathematics teacher who feels sex complicates matters between men and women, is looking for a relationship based on the intellectual rather than the physical. When he overhears Rose’s lecture about chaste love in literature, he becomes intrigued and asks her out, and is impressed by her wit and knowledge. He proposes marriage, with the condition it will be strictly platonic. The prospect of spending the rest of her life as a lonely spinster living with her mother seems far worse than a marriage without sex, so Rose accepts.
Rose’s attraction to Gregory grows, and one night she attempts to seduce him, much to his annoyance. When he departs on a lengthy lecture tour, Rose embarks on a crash course in self improvement. She diets, exercises, changes her hairstyle, learns to use makeup, and outfits herself in an updated wardrobe, and when her husband returns, he finds a very different woman waiting for him, and his perception of her begins to alter dramatically.
All the while Rose realizes that everyone, including herself, is behaving differently now towards her improved-self, though not always to her liking. Gregory and Rose finally face that their mutual love has not been hindered by Rose’s appearance, but by Gregory’s unusual theories on marriage and sex, and finally recognize their deep affection.
I would also like to share the lyrics of the song:
