I know that I loved you back then

That girl made me suddenly pick up myself from high school. The director showed the inferiority complex, the hesitation, the fear of the future, the desire and curiosity for love and social life at that age without words. I remember that at the first party where two people went out, a few classmates asked Lloyd, how did you get her out? I called her, he said, but everyone else thought it was incredible.
Such a scene reminded me of myself at the school-wide scholarship conference. A certain boy quietly asked my boyfriend: How did you catch her? He said, he just caught up, I don't know.
Students always think that top students are icebergs, far away, but they are so easily moved, melted, terminated and separated by warm love. Because they seem to be the strongest, but in fact they are the most lonely.
Because of her father’s opposition and the pressure of studying abroad, Diane enjoyed the love that surpassed everything, but she was often distracted. I still remember that at the coffee shop, Lloyd looked at her affectionately, but she said with blinking eyes, I’m sorry, it’s not for you. To be fair, I always think of other things when I am with you. She knows that she can't devote herself wholeheartedly, or that she doesn't know how to love? Forced to break up with her beloved, she was in pain at the time, but she was still so determined, saying: It's not easy for me! And when Lloyd was heartbroken and said: don't do this, she almost moved, but turned around. Staring at the answering machine, listening to Lloyd's painful but still joking voice, she hesitated and uneasy; when she heard Lloyd standing downstairs holding the tape recorder, she was upset because of her father, so she covered herself with the quilt Do not listen or look at your head.
I am talking about these things, because I have done almost the same thing, and deeply hurt a young heart who loves me, because I am not sure, is this what I want? Can I change my path for her? Can I bear all the results? Can my family accept such a promising son-in-law?
At the end of the movie, they are together and start the next life together. In fact, I was not with the first person I loved, and again and again, I was separated.
Seeing someone comment that they will not be together in the end, maybe, they are still so young, they have not been tested, there are no setbacks, and the reality is cruel.
I don’t know if it’s appropriate to write this here. It seems a bit personal. I don’t know if my unauthorized interpretation is appropriate. I just want to say that I am moved, sad, heartbroken, and looking forward to it. Although very young, I know that I loved you deeply at that time.

Say Anything quotes

  • Diane Court: You don't like old people, do you?

    Lloyd Dobler: Me? Sure I do.

    Diane Court: Come on.

    Lloyd Dobler: Except for one thing. I used to work at a smorgasbord and the old people would flock there and they love to eat. And they just jammed their mouths, you know, and they would just eat with their mouths open and, you know, it's just too much for me. I mean, you know, you get to be thinking about how short life is and how maybe everything has no meaning. Because, you wake up and you're frying burgers and you then you're like 60 and 70 and then, you know, you check out and, you know, what are you doing? And I just don't need to think about those kind of things. So, that - that's the reason I was - But, I'm not sure I'm right, about any of that.

    Diane Court: I think that's ageism and that's being prejudiced against people because they're old. Maybe their mouths don't work well as yours.

  • Diane Court: I just don't want it to get too heavy. I feel really overloaded.
