Am I the only person who doesn't think they broke up??

I like your explanation that this love movie seems more realistic than other bubble gum movies. The vibe I got at the end is that they can only be in love with each other when they are apart. They miss each other when they are away and when they are together they snarl at each other. Another thing is both had being disloyal to each other which says something about the two. They let down Simon and Sam which is quite selfish and I feel they will do the same to one another.

I actually found the scene where they are at a vacation just before Anna suppose to leave back home and she is trying to read and he is yapping to her about tuna fish. At that moment I almost felt that they can’t be together. They don’t know how to respect each others time alone while being together which I feel is the reason they can only exist when they are apart from one another.

The elements that you mention that keeps them close to one another (the flashbacks in the last scene) are individual moments that they love but they are not love tied to one another. That’s how I saw their relationship.

Have to agree with the post above, although I wouldn't read this much into that tuna fish scene.


In short (other) words:

Their bond was more or less strong as long as they had to fight the obstacles keeping them apart.
As soon as these were - finally and somehow unexpectedly - out of the way, it started to fade .....

I love the idea that Jacob now had a chance to open his heart for sad Sam to fully commit to her.
Anna would go back to her career in England (which she instantly missed) and start all over again.

It is all the guilt they felt.

Sad ending. As with any film, I would have liked some closure. But ending it this way did speak volumes and leave me thinking a lot, so in that sense it was a great ending.
There's no definite answer as to what happens though because the movie ends... We're left to wonder what could happen.
It tells me that the time apart, and to a lesser extent the other relationships they had, took their toll and left them wondering if they could get back to that place they were before. They'd been living their lives apart for so much of the time. I think we can still hope that their love is strong enough and they can resurrect it and make their lives work. They already found they couldn't live without eachother. I think we can hope.

For me the last scene was about accepting it was over. That too much had happened in the time apart, that thier lives were lived in different places, and that they were no longer in love. It's a sad, hard, honest ending.
