Punstoppable
A list of puns related to "Swift County, Minnesota"
Recently, I got in love with Meryl Streep’s movies after watching some of her memorable movies like The Devil Wears Prada, Mamma Mia! The Movie, The Post, Silkwood and Kramer vs Kramer. But one in particular, The Bridges of Madison County, stroke me with a sense of familiarity. In tone and message. Its theme is about having your true love in a short period of time. And it reminded me of one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists, Taylor Swift. Yes, it is Wildest Dreams from her 1989 album. And this is how I theorized how the hit song is based on that story.
The concept of both Bridges of Madison County is that it is about Francesca Johnson, a lonely Italian war bride fell in love with a passing National Geographic photographer Robert Kincaid while her family attends a state fair. Meanwhile, Wildest Dreams concept in the song is about a woman hoping her lover will never forget about their best times after their fling is over and it shows in the song’s music video, an actress named Marjorie Finn fell in love with her co-star Robert Kingsley (in which their names are inspired by Taylor Swift’s real-life grandparents) when they shot a movie while in Africa. It shows they had fallouts but the real fallout it is when Marjorie realize that Robert is married to another woman after she saw a woman kissed him and when Robert’s wife wore a ring in the left finger.
So here is my take on how it is possibly connected to the story. First of the concept itself are the same. It is about two lovers fell in love in short period of time. Take note that the lyrics “He said, "Let's get out of this town, Drive out of the city, away from the crowds" is about the desire of Robert Kincaid that he and Francesca ran away in order to have a happier life. Second lyrics that kinda mentions The Bridges of Madison County again is “I said, "No one has to know what we do", His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room” in which Francesca says to Robert that no one must not know about their relationship until they wanted tell so and that Robert’s clothes are in Francesca and her husband Richard’s room when they took a soak in the bathtub. And another lyric that describe Robert’s and Francesca’s intimate moments is “Tangled up with you all night” having in two scenes that Robert and Francesca cuddled up near the fireplace and in the hot tub where they soaked at night, suggesting they cuddled all night. And the final lyric clue is *“He's so tall and handsome as he
