“Till death do us part…”
– A Reaction Paper
On the movie Amour (Love) –
Amour is the French word for “love”. Love can be defined in many ways. Actually, it depends on the person on how he or she defines love.

The film depicts an unconditional love of elderly couples with each other until death parted them. The movie starts with what seemed to be the ending.

He even promised his wife to not hospitalize her or put her into a home. He finally lost his patience when she refused his help.

But even though it is considered a murder, his intentions were not to harm his wife but to save her which makes it for the better. The film also depicts Georges’ genuine love and a very long patience for Anne. It was so amazing for Georges to endure all his wife’s sufferings and to take care of her alone. He even fulfilled his promise on not to hospitalize his wife even though he is old and weak to take care of another
