#32 “Is that how you want to play it Brooke? Because I can play it like that. I can play it like Lionel Richie, ‘All night long.’ ” Gary - The Break-up 2006
Do we really know what other people mean when they use words we seem to not want to hear? If we continue to compete the meaning of words in people, we may continue to lose the battle over acceptance. Words are avenues to deeper thoughts. Words are non verbal actions in arguments within ourselves.
If we choose to play it like that, are we choosing to expect the other person to get it?
Conversations are valuable. Relationships are valuable. Becoming more in tuned with someone is exceptional. We we shut down our emotions we not only avoid our intentions, we become reliant on the dominance of someone's words. If we could only say what we want and not avoid the confortation would we be better communicators?
Movies allow words to be said, there is no holds bar. Life allows consequences for words, and we set the bar.
Think about what movies get away with. The guy gets the girl. The argument is always solved. The temptation for love is always passionate and climatic. Why can't we mirror this? Why can't we assume that life is what we make of it? Well.. if we needed to escape the realities of our own life through movies.. yes N. Jordan you do... then why wouldn't you expect anything less than happily ever after.
The Break-up.. ya.. it didn't end so happily for Gary, and it didn't sit well for audiences. Brooke was strong and comfortable with her choice. She walked away. Did Gary ultimately lose? Or was he better off knowing she couldn't love him for who he was anymore?
Remember.. if we have to force love, relationships and communication with others, we won't be happy. We will always be let down from our own standards and our own self pity.
