I've never been to Paris. This movie makes me know I will go one day. This movie came out a while back and I saw it for the first time last winter. If this ending quote from Two Days in Paris doesn't make you want to see the rest of the movie, well, you might not have a mushy heart like mine is sometimes. Just so beautiful and true. She didn't write this initially, but when she got to the end the lead actress and writer Julie Delpy put it in. Just stuck with me I guess. To watch a clip of this scene, go here:
"It always fascinated me how people go from loving you madly to nothing
at all, nothing. It hurts so much. When I feel someone is going to leave me,
I have a tendency to break up first before I get to hear the whole thing. Here
it is. One more, one less. Another wasted love story. I really love this one.
When I think that its over, that I'll never see him again like this... well yes,
I'll bump into him, we'll meet our new boyfriend and girlfriend, act as if we
had never been together, then we'll slowly think of each other less and less
until we forget each other completely. Almost. Always the same for me. Break up,
break down. Drunk up, fool around. Meet one guy, then another, fuck around.
Forget the one and only. Then after a few months of total emptiness start
again to look for true love, desperately look everywhere and after
two years of loneliness meet a new love and swear it is the one, until
that one is gone as well. There's a moment in life where you can't recover
any more from another break-up. And even if this person bugs you sixty percent
of the time, well you still can’t live without him. And even if he wakes you up
every day by sneezing right in your face, well you love his sneezes more than anyone else’s kisses."
