^ Link to the video, its in spanish, but this is the scene from the movie.

The scene from the movie "In her Shoes" really brings out the message of the poem. The poem "i keep in my heart" by e.e. cummings isn't just about couple love, but about love in general. Through Carmen Diaz isn't the one getting married, the poem was directed toward her friend ( I believe she hated her before), showing that even friends can have a strong love bond. This poem wasn't just for lovers, but for anyone who is loved or love someone. Whether it be mom, dad, lover, or friend.

This scene of the sunset from the movie "the Outsiders", where Ponyboys recite the poem "Nothing can stay gold" by Robert Frost really capture the main poem's theme. Its about the moment in lifes, though they can not stay gold, the moment that it does, it is beautiful. The image from the movie, such as the sunset, really represent the meaning of nothing can stay gold.
