What is the director trying to say about long distance relationships

long distance relationships...They don't Work.


Specially in emotional-inmature-people.






***If you can't laugh then SMILE***

I'm in a long distance relationship right now with a wonderful girl. Doing my masters in Europe, and my girlfriend lives in Canada doing her own studies. I'm going back to Canada for the xmas holidays (I'm nervous, and excited) and would like to watch this with her. From the synopsis it sounds like this is so very close to our situation. I can say that the long distance relationship is hell and I don't know if I will be able to hold on. What do I have to look forward to anyway? I'm in an academia stream dedicated to my research and I'll be moving arond the world every few years. Born to be a drifter I suppose. Hope these holidays are great for everyone! Sorry for crying on this forum like a wussy-boy (but it hurts).

The movie means to say that love won't survive if you spend everyday looking at each other, but walking in separate directions.

I don't think they're trying to say anything about long distance relationships. I think they're just trying to focus on the couple together, not the distance. The film just seems to be zoned in on two people who fell in love but grow apart and that's exactly what it shows us perfectly. I, myself, am in a long distance relationship and I have been for two years and it's hard, but it's also great. Not all long distance relationships are like the one that's shown in this movie.

They can work but only if the two people are serious and are committed to each other, having spent maximum time together.

The test of time will be a tough experience as my long distance relationship lasted 5 years (Me in London, she in Moscow), we are now living together and have a daughter. It was worth the 5 years of two week stays (maximum) that we had a couple of times a year in various places.

If you are serious and you are in the long haul - both people must know that they will end up together one way or another and that it may take years if need be, but this can be done.

Whatever people say I am - Thats what I am NOT

The struggle is real. Long distance relationships rarely last.

They usually don't work indeed, unless they already are on the grounds of a very adult and mature foundation, which doesn't necessarily depend on age (though it usually helps a bit, especially work-wise).
I was in one, between late 00's and early 10's. It worked for a bit, then her personal life got much more complicated. And we still had a lot going on, before turning into a "stable" lifestyle (as long as it really does exist, right now). I think we really loved each other, but we ultimately drifted apart.

Anyway, this is one of my favourite romantic dramas ever. You can feel the two leads' pain and struggle through the screen.
