The Age of Adeline
I just watched that movie again. It breaks my heart every time. I don’t know why Hollywood is trying so hard to make it go away, for a five year old movie it should be all over HBO / Cinemax / Starz. There is some political shit going on behind the scenes I am sure.
It is so heartbreaking and bittersweet.
I am in the midst of writing, or more appropriately rewriting a short story for a submission as a writing sample for my application to the MFA program.
I struck me that for the lost love in my short story, I had no emotional investment.
As is, she is “Celia.”
After watching “The Age of Adeline” I wondered how changing her name to “Audrey” would change the trajectory of my emotional writing.
For Celia, as a writer, I have no feelings. But for Audrey, she is the ache that never goes away. And that is what I am looking for in the story I am writing.

It is almost impossible to find on COMCAST/XFINITY, and when you do find it, it costs six bucks. At five years most movies are included. Even The Shallows which came out after Age of Adeline is available as included.

I loved that movie. Change your character’s name to Audrey; it will breathe life into your story.

I could always change her to Audrey while writing, then switch back after I am done editing.

That is true but no one will recognize the name / person ; Audrey , where you are submitting so if you want her name in it , you could leave it that way .

That's one of my favorites....it was just shown recently here. We have a local fibre company - not Comcast/Afinity.
