Still debating on the person of interest though

But It’s totally not inspired by listening to When he sees me on loop for the past two days! What are you talking about?

Blue Valentine. 2010. [film] Directed by D. Cianfrance. United States: Hunting Lane Films; Silverwood Films.

On one hand, the film explores the way the love relationship changed in time. It does not supply us with the explanation of what led to the supposive brake up. Rather, the viewer gets to see the samples of their attitude to each other from the time they had just started the relationship and from the moment they could not be together anymore. I suggest that the gap is made intentionally in order to intensify the distinction. We get to see the woman being in love, appreciating the moments together and his support, but some time later she can not stand any of his manifestation of life. The man, who believed that a marriage means you had chosen the girl you can not live without and you should be together forever. Yet later on in life he struggles to keep up with his beliefs, he is absolutely lost. They begun as the closest souls and ended up strangers, roughly saying.And we are here to see that the most tender couple could have a depressing future, and the most depressive couple could have had a tender beginning.

On the other hand, the gap could be for the viewer to fill it with personal experience. Many people have experienced similar withering or had seen it done by their relatives or friends, and they are all different. To have a conversation with the audience and hook on their feelings, the film could be structured to suggest the beginning and the ending point, and the viewer is left to fill up the gap.

Alternate Relationships in Science Fiction

I remember as a kid reading books like Orson Scott Card’s Memory of Earth and Stranger in a Strange land and being more fascinated by the Alternate Relationships than the actual science fiction aspects of the book. What I found truly interesting was the fact that unlike the spacecraft and the alien worlds the alternate relationship styles could be implemented now. Maybe this is one of the reasons…
