How deep is your love?

So I just finished watching Brokedown Palace at my best friends house. The movie was AMAZING. I remember just sitting on the couch, cuddled under the blanket and sobbing my eyes out for those two girls. If you have never seen the movie, I suggest you not read on because there are spoilers ahead.

The movie is about two best friends, Alice in Darlene who go on a trip together to Thailand and get arrested for smuggling drugs. The sad thing of the movie is, neither one of the girls did it and were actually really set up by a sleezeball named Nick.

The whole point of the the movie is, to just go ahead and skip ahead, Alice sacrifices herself for her best friend so her best friend can get out and go home, volunteering to not only stay but serve her friends time. Even though she was the one who could have really gotten away as she had signed no documents and stood a better chance.

Poor Alice, no one believed in her. She was the 'bad' one and she really wasn't. Transgressions she'd made as a child was held against her and to not only have the weight of that but to give everything up to spend the rest of your life in a prison in a foreign country with no ally. Wow.  I am not sure  I could have done it.

Just think about it. It would have been so easy. They both were innocent, we know this, But they had each other. Can you make that kind of sacrifice for someone else? Can you love someone else that much? Not only to let them go but to take all there lashing for them. To utterly and completely give up your time?

I want to say that if I were in the situation then yes I would have, could have, easily. But I don't know. I don't think so. I am afraid my love is more selfish then that. Ah, heck. Screw the fact that I spoiled the movie for you. Go ahead and watch it. And ask yourself, could you?
