Closer

So, I picked probably to most depressing romance movie of all time. In "Closer", two women and two men are connected through their relationships with each other, and have their own relationships on the side over the years. In one scene in particular, there is an argument between Natalie Portman and Jude Law. He has just come home and confesses to her that for the last year, he has been sleeping with Julia Roberts and tells her that he's in love with her and that he will be leaving to be with her. Natalie Portman's reaction is heartbreakingly real, as she goes from being angry to sad and back to angry again. She finally tells him, "I'm always the one who leaves" and when he goes to make some tea for her so she'll calm down, she runs away without saying another word.
I chose this movie because I felt like it was more realistic than most romantic movies. The arguments in most romantic comedies are contrived and petty, but this aargument, I feel, is actually an argument a lot of people have had. It's hard to be hurt by the person you love, and it's even harder to leave him or her. I feel like this movie, as depressing as it is, goes to show how severely messed up a lot of relationships are and how difficult it is to break free of someone you love, even though you know it's the right thing to do.
