A peaceful way of looking at the apocalypse

Ever since I started taking movies more seriously, I've never chosen a favorite one. And this, indubitably, isn't the best movie in the world or anything, but it is my favorite. I haven't seen anything like it, and it's been 9 years since it was made.It's a completely new outlook to how movies tackle the end of the world. Instead of focusing on the chaos and hysteria that comes with the fear of inevitable death, it shows us two strangers and their search for love, albeit not in each other, so it leaves you wondering throughout the movie whether or not they're going to fall for each other or go their separate ways in the end.The diversity in the supporting cast also deserves mention, with the exception of terror stricken characters, it shows you how different people would approach or react to the world ending, even though that's not exactly what the movie's about. Like any Armageddon film, there's people rioting, there's people shagging, there's people in bunkers but in this movie it's about those who're finding true love and connection. No volcanoes, earthquakes, meteor strikes or the like.I find that it isn't one of those movies that everyone loves, but those who do love it dearly. Guess I can understand why someone wouldn't like it, but I don't think it's one you can hate. I think the movie isn't talked about as much because the year it was released was full of blockbuster movies. Every time i think of 2012 movies I think of The Dark Knight, the movie "2012", magic mike, 21st jump street or pitch perfect and the like... so this just swiftly went under the radar.
