Blue Valentine

I don't like romantic movies

There's something about it that makes me uncomfortable.

I guess I don't appreciate being lied to.

I know it is just movie but I honestly can't explain the psychology behind my unreasonable hate.

All I know is that creating the best believable lies is to hide the little lies in the truth.

Maybe I feel like that's what romance movies are doing, deceiving.

I have been searching for romance movies that don't work out.
(what a such twisted mind I have)

So far, I loved "Before Sunrise" which invited me into their beautiful crush and then woke me up from it.

I liked "500 Days of Summer". People can be such drama queens, falling in love with the idea of the person, and often forget that bad crush is like fever that it goes away.

Tonight, I finally found another really good movie.

It's called, "Blue Valentine".

This movie portrays the evolution of the relationship.

I liked the movie.

Although it made me sad because I knew that I didn't need this movie to figure out how a relationship began and ended since the age of 10.

This movie was my parents love story with seriously unhappy ending.
