The Break-up



Saw this with Francis yesterday. This movie is so real. I guess many times we’re often caught in similar situations…. Our pride, stubbornness and willfulness caught us right off guard. Often, it started with something small but ended up in a situation where it suddenly erupted to a break up.
All I really want was just some attention (most gals) and as for the guys, all they want is to just love her. Seems so simple: “to just love her”… but somehow, how it was being carried out by the way a guy thinks best is not exactly the way the gal wants. Well I guessed… small things add up, and if you don’t take the time to nurture the relationship, it finishes in natural death.

**Some great lines from the movie**

J: I don’t feel that you appreciate any of it, I don’t feel you appreciate me. And all I wanna know is just for you to show me that you care.

V: Why didn’t you just say that to me

J: Gary, I tried, I tried.....

V: Never like that, You might have said some things to imply it, but I am not a mind reader

**Another Scene**

V: Brook this whole thing has really been tough on me, and I have tried to act like it hasn’t been tough on me but the 1st Sunday after you and I broke up, it all kinda hit me. And I think it partially hit me because Sunday was sorta always our day where we would do stuff together, but I didn’t have any idea that you still cared so much and you know, I saw you crying the other night, That was honestly the worst moment in my life.

V: Look, I know that I have caused you alot of pain, and the funny thing is that all I wanted to do was make you happy, I just wanna make you smile. I had alot of time to think about some of the things that went on, and I know I don’t always do the right things or always say the right things, but I am willing to try to do things differently.

V: But I realize that that's not the point. I realize that the point isn’t that at all. Because it’s not about doing things, that you love to do always, it’s about doing things with the person that you love. And I love you.

V: Give me 1 second here, I have missed you so much, I promise you brooke, that I will do whatever it is I have to do, to never hurt you again. I love you, I am sorry....

J: I don’t feel the same way. I don’t think I have anything left to give. I am sorry....

**Another Scene**

J: Gary, you know there are a thousand things I would have done differently

You seems to only want to remember what you want to remember. In a relationship, it takes 2 hands to clap. While I had not given in at times, I had also given in at times. However, usually what was remembered of me is the times that I had not given in... And that to me, is sad! You know everytime I gets anygry, I tell myself not to be rash and make a decision which I may one fine day regret. There are occasions that I tell myself I have 2 choices. I can give it all up or I can try to make it work. So I focus on how good you can be to convince myself I should carry on... In a relationship, if you only focus in on the shortcoming of your partner, it will fail very quickly... Give this some tots.
