Because of the breakup, they can only reunite after a long absence!

To sum up the movie in one sentence, the way of thinking of men and women is really different.

American psychologists say that boys and girls have 6 basic love needs.
The forms of love that boys need include trust, acceptance, gratitude, praise, recognition, and encouragement;
the forms of love that girls need are caring, understanding, respect, loyalty, consideration, and comfort.
When there is a disagreement, it is more effective to lean on his chest and say nothing than arguing.
When he calms down, he will naturally understand your heart and take the initiative to adjust his pace with you.


I love the way the director handles their feelings in the movie.

They were standing inside when their home had been emptied for sale.
The two of them lost their earlier arrogance and domineering, and the hair on their bodies seemed to be smoothed out.
Brooke won't go out with boys to get mad at him; gary won't go out with strippers to get revenge on her.
If two people, get closer, get closer, it seems that a hug can put an end to the quarrel.
But the reality is, they can't go back.

When Gary cleaned up the house and prepared a dinner carefully, he thought that Brooke would forgive Gary after seeing the changes Gary made, but it was of no use.

Waiting and tormenting each other really took too much energy.
One of their conversations was very interesting.

Gary came home from get off work and bought 3 lemons as Brook ordered.

Woman: Honey, did you just buy 3 lemons?
Man: Yes, I bought it exactly as you ordered.
Woman: I asked you to buy 12, how to use 3?
Man: Well, maybe I heard it right...
Woman: Anyway, you never take what I said to heart. How come you never forget when you buy your own beer?

After dinner.
Woman: Can you help me wash the dishes?
Man: Okay, wait until I finish this one.
Woman: I've finished washing up after playing this one.
Man: It doesn't matter if you wait a few minutes.
Woman: Can't you play after washing it?
Man: Alright alright, stop playing, I'll wash the dishes.
Woman: You do this every time. I hate your attitude the most, just like I force you.
Man: What's the matter? Didn't I come to wash the dishes?
Woman: It's not about washing dishes!
Man: You just said it was about washing the dishes, and now you say no, why are you just looking at me upset?

The above dialogue seems to be something that every man and woman in love will experience.
I told my best friend that no matter if you are African, Asian, American, all people encounter love, it is the same. There is no difference.


During the many games during the breakup, I sweated for them.
It may be the weakness of my character. I hope that those who love each other can be together forever, be beautiful and happy.
However, the stubborn character of the hero and heroine always makes my sweat hang on my forehead and can't fall.


At the end, when the two reunited after a long absence, an image came to my mind.
If at that time, because of habit and reluctance, the two of them got together again, then the tragedy would be staged endlessly, and quarrels would continue to appear.
Instead of 3 lemons, cocoa-flavored cakes, or drinking too much beer...
Fortunately, they chose Breakup instead of staying together.
Because, breaking up, so there will be later, so clean and hearty goodbye.

I'm doing well, and so am I.


Just like in "Previous", Gillian dragged the box and started her own journey~
We always have to say goodbye, so that we can meet a better self and a better TA.

    From the beginning of the film, the two of them didn't call at all, and felt rushed to get together in a life-breaking crisis. In the end, they must break up because they lacked a common heart. Feeling again after breaking up, but how much love can be made again?

    070624. a new day. Is it true that the relationship will eventually come to such a dead end before thinking about each other. In fact, as long as you work hard, persist and take a little more initiative, the outcome will be completely different. But if it really is different, is it good or bad?

The Break-Up quotes

  • Brooke: I just don't know how we got here. Our entire relationship, I have gone above and beyond for you, for us. I've cooked, I've picked your shit up off the floor, I've laid your clothes out for you like you're a four year old. I support you, I supported your work. If we ever had dinner or anything I did the plans, I take care of everything. And I just don't feel like you appreciate any of it. I don't feel you appreciate me. All I want is to know, is for you to show me that you care.

    Gary: Why didn't you just say that to me"

    Brooke: I tried. I've tried.

    Gary: Never like that, you might have said some things that meant to imply that, but I'm not a mind reader...

    Brooke: It wouldn't matter you are who you are. Just leave me alone ok? Right now, just shut my door.

    Gary: Listen...

    Brooke: Alright Gary just please, just leave the room. Gary just... I don't want to be near you right now, please just shut the door, please.
