guysmily25 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 If you have netflix, I have a movie recommendation for you. If you don't have netflix, you should probably get it so you can have enough tv entertainment to make your eyes bleed. Anyway, it is a movie called "Like Crazy. " SPOILER ALERT Its a movie about two people that fall madly in love, but have to be separated for a few years. At first they try to make it work, then they go their separate ways. When they do end up back together, the relationship just isn't the same. They are plagued by the thoughts of who the other person had been with after the breakup. The movie is a good illustration of how a relationship can't go back to how it was before, and the reality of how haunting it can be to hold your previous partner again and think about what they have been up to.
soccerrprp Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Sounds depressing. So, this movie is about not wanting to get back together with exes. I may need to watch this....

It is depressing, it may not be manly but I cried haha. Its about how even when things were amazing in your relationship the first time you were together, getting back together has a lot of negatives that might not occur to you now. Its pretty insightful, you should watch!

IMO though to use that as a means of pushing away attempts to reconcile, get back together - which is something some will take out of it.do - is foolish, as it does still depend on a lot of factors [not to mention a gross generalization built by one case is hardly accurate] 1
soccerrprp Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Yup, movie was depressing. Neither were fully committed to one another when apart. Both cheated. Didn't like it and didn't cry (sorry guysmily25). It was sad, but all I could think of was the lack of commitment from one another and the way they "used" their cheating partners. Ugh.
thefooloftheyear Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Yeah, It is kinda strange how one never worries about what the other person did before they met, but after it seems like a big deal. I get the point. I suppose if the persons involved said something to the effect that "It toolk me the time to get out there and have other experiences to realize how truly special you were" or something to that effect... Sounds good, might not matter though.. TFOY 1

Sounds good, might not matter though.. TFOY Let us remember that they were still married during the last 1/3 of the movie while having their open affairs. They was no trust, commitment on their parts. They essentially had a "not-so-open" open relationship. Frankly, this is not a love story. It's about relationships and how complicated they can be, but not a LOVE story. Both characters were weak, selfish and typified people who are not willing to sacrifice...I found it impossible to feel a genuine closeness, appreciation for either character. I did not see love....just my take. 1
