"SHE LOST THE WILL TO LIVE"

I watched Star Wars III, Revenge of the Sith tonight. Well actually, the kids were watching it when I got home. After watching it for a good 5 minutes, I realized that I haven't seen this particular episode. Weird! But anyways, I caught part of the ending and I gotta say, it was kickass.

One scene that caught my attention was the scene with Padme dying. The robot nurse said she was medically healthy, yet she was dying. "She lost the will to live". Isn't that quite interesting?! Something so cliché yet so real. We've all heard of the phrase, "I would dye for love." Padme's death is the best illustration of that. Anakin broke her heart, harmed her body, and discouraged her soul. Her body is physically healthy, but her mind is letting go. Is that really possible in real life?! If you lost someone you truly love, can you die from it?! Die from a heartbreak?! Die from betrayal?! Everyone suffers from a heartbreak, but we always seem to bounce back. In this case, Padme didn't. Does that mean she understands LOVE better than we do?! Does the love between Anakin and Padme overpower everyone elses?! I know they're just characters in a fictitious movie, but love is never unreal. Right?! Have you ever been so heartbroken to the point where life no longer exist?
