movies vs. real life part 5

today I'll just do a little comparison about the ex if my life was a romantic comedy,if it was drama movie,and the documentary or in other words..real life. I'll take a few scenes and compare a little bit in each case.. -----------the ex------------------- In the romantic comedy, we'll always have the pleasure and peace of mind in knowing that the ex was a complete @$$&0!* who didn't deserve her in the first place. He only shows up in the movie as a clumsy drunk who is obviously miserable because he misses her in his life and we can tell how screwed up he is. She sees him , perhaps before the leading man asks her out on a date. He makes a laughing stock out of himself and she feels sorry for herself yet does not show it in front of the leading man. The scene changes to later that night; when she is eating lots and lots of ice cream to cheer herself up and while she is singing out loud " I will survive" and cutting out her ex's face from old pictures , the leading man calls and asks her out on a date. She says yes and somehow stumbles over some weird object on the floor while she is still on the phone. The camera rotates around and we see her still on the phone with the leading man,laughing out loud while still lying on the floor the way she fell.... Soundtrack: clearly as it has mentioned "I will survive" by y Gloria Gaynor In the drama version, the ex is the heartthrob who abused her emotionally. We see him as the better looking man (compared to leading man), with a hint of sophistication and charisma. He would show up at the exact moment when she's about to give an important public speech/ about to confess her love for the leading man/ about to accept the job offer of her dream. She hesitates, and panics. She tries to tell herself that all is going to be alright, but she looks at his face one more time and she realizes the emotions are just too strong. She screws up that amazing opportunity and excuses herself and leaves. The next scene is her at home, in his old shirt, holding a bottle of wine and reading their old letters/emails/chat logs/pictures and crying her eyes out. Then some kind of miracle happens, right there and then; like an ad on the TV, or a random phone call or something and it occurs to her that she can't spend her whole life crying over him. She decides to be positive; call her manager and apologize about her awkward behavior that morning and asks for another chance/ call leading man and asks him out/ call the potential employer and ask to reschedule the meeting. We see her the next day, getting dressed for the replay of the big event and trying out her outfits while she's repeating to herself. I'm strong, I can do it. However, as the camera zooms out to change the scene, we see that his picture is still on her bed. Soundtrack: It's hard letting you go, by Bon Jovi In real life, the ex will be an extra civilized gentelman , who will be stalking her to tell her about the new girl he's flirting with, in real life, even though there is nothing left to say or do he insists on re-adjusting the nature of their relationship and make her a friend, even if she can't be his in real life, She feels uncertain and confused. He still is, after all , "the one" (given that one gets only one "the one" in their lifetime). He broke her heart and she lost faith in the whole "love" thing but somehow with the image of the leading man is in her mind she finds herself not that hurt anymore. It is a very varied mix of feelings; Is it ok that she doesn't feel sad anymore? Is it ok that she doesn't feel indifferent either? She knows her friends will say "You're better off with him!" and "Would you like it to have been you disgraced like that?". But what will he (leading man) say? She wishes she'd talk to him about it; she does, after all, need to feel like she matters for someone too. But in real life, those mixed feelings and thoughts are a luxury she can not afford. She has a million other things to worry about; most importantly how to stop thinking about the leading man. And that's what she plans to do, work her @$$ off till she has no spare time to think about him. Soundtrack: traffic noises from the streets, footsteps across the hallway, and her keyboard typing sounds.
