So I'm sitting here, on my couch, at 2:30 in the morning, watching P.S. I Love You. It's a very wonderful, romantic, heart-rending movie, and I might just post about it.
However this post isn't about sappy romances; it concerns a different kind of romance - the father/daughter kind.
Last night, I watched the 1995 rendition of A Little Princess with my daddy. Of course, I read the book about three times over when I was little, and I'm going to read it again, just to get that enveloping, warm feeling again.
This movie is one of the few movies that are guaranteed to make me tear up and/or cry uncontrollably every time I watch it. I'm not sure why... it's just so perfect. I don't think I've ever seen a better representation of the father/daughter relationship on film. Captain Crewe (played by Liam Cunningham) is possibly the most perfect father in the history of perfect fathers. The love that makes his eyes glow when he looks at Sara, the charm and strength he possesses... that alone makes me cry.
Here are a few videos about Captain Crewe and Sara. I was crying hysterically by the time I finished the last one.
The end scene is my absolute favourite. The way that Captain Crewe screams his daughter's name when he remembers... indescribable. It just shows how much he loves her, his little princess.

"You can be anything you want to be, my love, as long as you believe."
"What do you believe?"
"I believe that you are... and always will be... my little princess."
