Never ever I have felt so strongly about writing a review on any other movie, as I feel like writing about this particular movie SERENDIPITY. I think serendipity is one of the most amazing word in english dictionary which means a fortunate and unexpected accident and discovery just like falling is love is an unexpected and fortunate accident and its all about destiny. This is the feeling that serendipity also provokes in us... if we have to fall in love, if we are meant for someone, we would end up with that person. Destiny would find its own way.

2)The story jonathan tells sara about the constellation Cassiopeia
A long time ago in Ethiopia there’s this queen named Cassiopeia who thought she was the most beautiful woman in the entire world, and there wasn’t anybody in the kingdom who wasn’t offended by this woman’s relentless vanity. And one day she really screwed up and offended the gods.
I don’t remember what she did, and I don’t remember who she offended, but it was bad; she crossed the line. But anyway, Poseidon the Sea God punished Cassiopeia by placing her in the heavens upside down on her throne; stuck for eternity with her skirt around her shoulders and all the blood rushing to her head. And now she’s just a constellation in the sky; a bunch of English freckles in the shape of a throne. So she made one tragic mistake...
...and paid for eternity.
