“It’s my cross to bear.”
“In all honesty…”
“At the end of the day…”
“It’s not you, it’s me.”
“I need to work on my novel.”
“This isn’t easy.”
“I just want to dance.”
“I want to break up.”
“You need to be in a relationship to break up with someone.”
“Alright, then I want to stop seeing you in a way that is similar to a relationship. Or I want to stop doing the part of our friendship that would be considered a relationship.”
“So you’re telling me that you don’t want to be with me.”
“Precisely.”
“Ok fine. I’m going to go get a drink.”
I’m obsessed with this song and I’m so in love with this girl.
I recently watched the movie “Something’s Gotta Give” starring Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. First, let me start off by saying that every time I talk about a film with my friends, I say the title of the film and immediately follow with the stars. I really don’t know why I do this. I especially do this when they say “Oh, what’s that movie about?”
“Starring Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton.”
“Who’s that?”
Anyway, for some reason, I thought the movie was made sometime in the late 90s. It was actually released in 2003, so I was cognitive enough to know that this movie existed. However, I must have been some hating 18-year-old who didn’t give a shit about old people falling in love.
Now, at the age of 27, I still get grossed out when I see old people in love. However, they have every right to be in love as much as I have the right. Sadly, I’m not taking advantage of my right. Mine is just kind of growing mold and dust is settling on it until I finally actually fall in love, which I feel won’t be for a great while now.
The story outlines two older people both happily single, one more so than the other. Jack Nicholson’s character, Harry, falls in love with a younger woman (about 26) and suffers a heart attack. After his episode, he’s forced to stay out in the Hamptons with the woman’s mother (played by Diane Keaton). Obviousy, love ensues as two self-proclaimed singles don’t ever stay single when left in a posh Hampton home in the middle of nowhere. You know why? Because something’s always gotta give.
I don’t know what it is about romantic dramas/comedies/action films/independent films/childrens’ classics/period pieces/the entire repertoire of movies that requires that something always give. There is just this twist and pull of a story happening and then it becomes mellow, dies down, becomes what will summarize the end of the film: everyone wins.
And it’s not like this idea has never been implemented before. There are films out there where nothing gives, people end up alone and depressed and nothing is resolved. These films sometimes are much more real than any of the other things that I see, and they do badly in the box office because of it. Why? Because in reality, sometimes nothing gives. Sometimes the guy that you want doesn’t want you back. Sometimes you end up eating a bag of chips by yourself while you watch a guinea pig lick his own balls. When does this “giving” portray in real life? When you just throw your hands into the air and say, “I give up. Really.”
I couldn’t count in my head the number of times I’ve thrown my hands in the air, and said “fuck it.” Of course, my choice of phrase is much different than “I give up,” but the sentiment is the same. I’m done. I wash my hands of the situation. I am forced to just walk away and begin again someplace new.
Is that the “give”? Giving up? Society does say that you should expect the unexpected and that things will turn out ok in the end. Perhaps to give up is to finally get the give that you’ve been waiting for. Maybe that’s what the director of “Something’s Gotta Give” is trying to relay. He’s trying to say that giving up on pretention, your moral standards, your stubbornness, your OCD will bring you the freedom and happiness that you’ve been waiting for. I mean, giving up is something and that something’s gotta give.
And what does this do with me? Well, let’s say that sitting at home watching a guinea pig lick himself, eating bags of potato chips and watching old people do it isn’t my idea of an awesome Saturday night. What I need is some magic. I need the super moon (if you will) of my late 20s to finally rise and fuck up gravity for me. If something’s gotta give, then I’m going to give up all of it.
Whaaaaaaaaaaat the hell.
