So imma talk about my favourite movie that I watched probably a gazillion times already and the things I learned from this movie. Someone Great is a funny, heartbreaking post-breakup chic-flick that you need if you just broke up or needed some assurance to go thru a breakup.
This movie is so relatable and it gives you a hard slap on the truth and reality about a breakup, growing up, changes and friendship. The messages behind this movie is so beautiful that I dont even want the movie to end hence I watched it over and over again.
The three characters Jenny, Blair and Erin have a really strong bond and chemistry that you wish the friendship is yours. They have this beautiful bond of friendship that lasted years between the three of them and you just wish that you had a small circle of friends like that.
Jenny and Nate relationship is beautiful. Going thru shits countless of time but they always ended up together but you'll realize that nothing last forever and even if you wanted the relationship to last forever, sometimes it is not actually what you need.
You have to move on if it's not meant to be. You can love someone forever and ended up not being with them bcs it aint about staying together forever, it is about who that person is in your heart. Jenny couldnt get over Nate but she realized that she cant live in the same loop.
She gotta move on by leaving Nate but still having Nate in her heart because that what love is. You cant always work things out. You have to break in order for it to mend. In order for you to mend. Like Jenny said and I quote
You have to accept the fact that in a relationship, everything is fire and fireworks in the early stage "and the possibilities seems endless" as Jenny said. But at one point it'll not gonna be the same way. Not because you grew apart where you dont love but bcs you grow up.
You find your interest on different things and not the same thing you both used to like. You have different interest and likings and preferences just like how Jenny and Nate's relationship ended up. But that doesnt stop them to still be in love with each other.
You will also have to face the fact that things will change and are changing. Even if you're afraid. Even if you don't want to. We all grow up. Our friends grow up. We will have a different life. But that doesnt mean you have to grow apart from each other.
A phone call, once in a month hangout is enough. It dont have to be the same way it was a few years back and it wont stay like that forever. Dont fear the change. Embrace it.
I understand Erin. I understand her fears. I understand that she's afraid of growing up and changes. I am Erin. But that's life. Also, even if you have goals in life, sometimes that might not be the best for you. Loosen up. Follow the flow. It'll bring you right to it.
This movie has such a good soundtrack. I love it so much!
