Because of the comments to my last post I felt the need to explain why I love the movie The Last Kiss, so much. This is going to be pretty hard because it's kind of personal and I don't really understand it in myself.
I guess it comes down to that I don't think there's any perfect dream. This might be due to my upbringing and just the reality of the world. I haven't ever heard of anything that's supposed to be "perfect" that isn't scary or boring in some fashion. In the movie I see it so accurately portray real life and real relationships then anything else I have ever seen, especially from the man's point of view. I guess mainly because it shows how imperfect people (especially men), and relationships are and just how difficult relationships are. I know as a cliche women (or I guess I more accurately girls) have this idea of a man and a relationship that is completely idolized, and without problem. I don't mean to single women out because men do this as well, but I don't see it as much. In men I see them wanting more of a woman is who is someone they'll always be attracted to and most importantly of all, understanding. Someone who completely knows them, and can feel with them and be able to empathize in their problems or mistakes, that would be "perfect". Or I could be completely wrong and just projecting how I feel on to other men. Anyway, back to the point. I love the movie because it represents something real, without perfect resolution, with real thought and that's something I can relate to.
