Relationship burn out

Just watched two days in Paris. It was ok. Seemed to follow a similar format to Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, only it didn't grab me like those movies.


What I did find mildly interesting (if somewhat morbid) was her final monologue. She and her boyfriend of two years took a trip to Venice (which sounded like it didn't go well at all) and then decide to stop in Paris for two days before going home. While there, he meets a bunch of her exes, and ends up accusing her of having an affair with one. They part on the streets, and meet up again a couple hours later. They have this last conversation, which appears to be a break-up conversation (although it was unclear at the end if they stayed together or not).

Anyway, she narrates over their whole conversation:

It always fascinates me how people go from loving you madly... to nothing at all

nothing.

it hurts so much

here is it. one more, one less. another wasted love story

i really loved this one

...

we will slowly think of each other less and less
until we forget each other completely...

almost.

its always the same for me:

break up, break down
drink 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 its gone as well
