My Blueberry Nights (2007)

"The last few days, I've been learning
not to trust people and I'm glad I've failed.
Sometimes we depend on other people as
a mirror to define us and tell us who
we are and each reflection makes me like
myself a little more."

"It took me nearly a year to get here. It wasn't so hard to cross that street after all. It all depends on who's waiting for you on the other side"

I believe there is always right timing for anything that happens in your life, even when you watch any kind of movie or start to do any other kind of stuff.

When I watched this movie years ago it has no impact & seemed meaningless one. It suddenly came to my mind to watch it week ago while I was on vacation figuring out what I am going to do with my life. 
"Sometimes your rhythm's off, you read the person right but still do the wrong thing."
Elizabeth  was in relationship and suddenly found out that her boyfriend cheated on her. And one of these nights she decided to leave all her memories, everything and everyone behind her and left New York. She started to work as waitress at several places to support her journey. On the way she met with a series of lost souls as Leslie,Rachel and others, whose life and state of mind was much worse than hers. 
Elizabeth: So what's wrong with the Blueberry Pie?
Jeremy: There's nothing wrong with the Blueberry Pie, just people make other choices.
You can't blame the Blueberry Pie, it's just... no one wants it.
So...what you need just take a break from life,routine and just spend time with yourself. ...let your soul to live the life he sent here for.

500 Days of Summer (2009, based on a real romance)

"This is a story of boy meets girl" - this is how the story begins...

Tom Hansen - grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met "the one", even though his parents broke up.

Summer Finn - didn't share this belief, since her parents broke up. She is getting into relationships just to be "friends"

Tom: But what happens when you fall in love?
Summer: Well, you don't believe that, do you?
Tom: It's love. It's not Santa Claus.
Summer: Well, what does that word even mean? I've been in relationships and I don't think I've ever seen it.
Tom: Well, maybe that's because...


If you share the same beliefs as Tom then you can feel what he did. How you know this is "the one"? You enter the room where so many people and you just see one person & you feel that energy and think this is how story starts. But you never know the intentions of another person and that's where your world collapsed.
People don't realize this, but loneliness is underrated

"Just because she likes the same bizzaro crap you do doesn't mean she's your soul mate"

Summer let him know upfront that they are friends - kissing in the copy room,holding hands in IKEA,shower sex? Yes,that's all was about friendship.

Do really anyone lie, cheat, use, break, leave, hurt us? Or is it just really we who feel it upfront and goes for it anyway, knowing the consequences...


Tom: You know what sucks? Realizing that everything you believe in is complete and utter bullshit. It sucks. Destiny, and soul mates, and true love. And all that childhood fairytale nonsense.
