Movie Night: ***The Gift of the Magi (2010)
This is a remake of the O. Henry classic. However in this version we substitute an antique car and a camera for the hair and watch. This version adds a marital fight and separation just before the giving of gifts. I didn't really care for this part, because if they were truly people who sacrificed so much as they did, I think they would have had more trust. The two things did not fit in my mine. The separation was based on a misunderstanding and lots of pride. He saw her with a man, who in fact was her second boss at a job she took to make money for his gift. There is a side story of the best friends of each of the main characters needing to find someone, and having been unlucky in love in the past.
