I feel the intention of the director is to provide a moving and emotional story, designed to gain momentum. But it does not accomplish that goal. Instead, it starts off with a somewhat endearing and entertaining tale of two couples falling in love. But as time progresses, the music and the atmosphere become more somber as we are led down a dreary path.
If this was supposed to be uplifting and inspirational, it was a valiant effort to be such. The drama serves to provide an initial exuberant hopefulness, followed by intense sadness and loss, without much hope for "happily ever after".
If you aren't familiar with the true story behind this film, you will be led astray. What you are watching is not fully actual. There is no narrator and no butterflies. Read the facts before embarking on the journey of '2 Hearts', then you'll be prepared.
