"Here's what made 'The Bridges of Madison County' work. Clint Eastwood understood something other directors missed: This is a story about what doesn't happen. About the love not chosen. The life not lived. The door handle not pulled. Francesca and Robert don't end up together. They don't run away. They don't get their Hollywood ending. Instead, they get something rarer: A brief, perfect connection that changes them forever—and the courage to let it go."
"The deepest loves aren't always the ones we choose."

P.S. I wrote about movie 'The Bridget of Madison County' before in post 'Francesca's You just ... Got Off?' (11-2020): here.
