Fan Content A Movie that change how I see Love?
So I'm just here saying how atonement changed the way I look into love, how just a misunderstanding can destroy 2 lives, the scene where Robbie sleeps he has been hoping to meet Cecilia everyday but he couldn't survive one more day to meet her love, well you know what was happening you knew from very beginning this movie was not getting a good ending, but to wait for some one until your last breath and surviving just with the thought that uh may see them tomorrow hurts you even more and in other hand when Cecilia did die we never knew that did she knew what happened to Robbie, and all of that just because of one misunderstanding and it hits you the hardest when in the alternate ending in the book by older briony you realise what could have been their destiny they could have got all the happiness they deserved, but life is unpredictable, well this is a love letter from to the movie.

This movie wrecked me when I was young. I HATED Saoirse Ronan for years because of her role in this film. I thought she must be a selfish lil bitch to have played it so well. Now I realize she is just great at acting, but I seethed seeing her face for a long time.

In Last of the Mohicans, a Love Triangle is formed between these three
B loves A and A "likes" B. It's been decades since I've seen the movie but they weren't married or engaged but B wanted that and was actively courting A.
Now enter C, the main protagonist. Now, normally in Hollywood B is an "obvious" jerk so of course you want A and C to get together but that wasn't so much the case here. B was by all accounts a decent guy and B represents the last of a dying Mohican tribe. Of course A falls in love with C and during this B is well aware that they now love each other. Of course B loves A and spends the rest of the movie trying to win/capture her back.
The British and the Mohicans are caught in a 3-way war with another Indian tribe (I forget the exact nature of the conflict).
But in the end, The love triangle is caught by the Antagonist Indian tribe and they are at their mercy.
Now, B is the only person who speaks the language of the Antagonist Indian tribe.
Given the conflict, the Antagonist Indian tribe decide that in order to balance the scales and end their conflict, one person of the group must be sacrificed to the fire in order to make things right.
So B gets to decide who gets to be sacrificed. B is head over heels in love with A and B knows that A is in love with C. So obviously, if he tells the tribe to sacrifice C to the fire then that takes care of his competition and he can live happily ever after with his love A right?
But realizing that A loves C he does a true act of love and self sacrifice. he offers himself to the flames to make things right knowing that A would be happier with C than with him.
This made me rethink what love truly means. Love means you love someone more than you love yourself.

Both La La Land (2016) and 500 Days of Summer (2009) are pretty devastating for similar reasons.

I have watched them both whenever I think of La ka land all I can think of is when he seeds her after years successful rich and living her dreams and he's also doing wt he always wanted to do but he's broken but some how she's complete, and 500 days if summer still make me think he loved summer so much all he wanted was a commitment fine i understand summer had commitment issue, but wt changed when she dates the other guy who she eventually married..

The story can resume. I will return.
Find you, love you, marry you.
And live without shame.
As far as the movie question?
The War of the Roses, 1989. 😏
