My wife and I decided to relax a bit tonight after a long weekend working our booth at the Austin Bridal Extravaganza wedding show (she's a visual storyteller). We searched through Netflix for something to take our minds off of the crazy day and stumbled across, Chaos Theory (with Ryan Reynolds).
The movie has some humor, some sexual overtones, and some heart-felt narrative, but it is primarily a story about life choices... and most importantly, love. One of my favorite quotes came near the very end of the movie when Frank Allen (Ryan Reynolds) gives the following sage advice to his soon-to-be son-in-law"
"Frank Allen: Ever heard of chaos theory, Ed? It's a science, tries to determine underlying patterns in chaotic systems like weather, ocean currents, blood flow sort of things. But it turns out that few things are more chaotic than the beat of a human heart. Its beating up, slowing down. Pretty face, flirty stares. It's always changing on what's happening to ourselves out there. It's an erratic son of a b***ch. But underneath all of that bump-da-bump mess, there is in fact a pattern, the truth, and it's love. Most important thing about love is that we choose to give it, and we choose to receive it. Making it the least random act in the entire universe. It transcends blood, it transcends betrayal and all the dirt and makes us human."
