untitledfilmblog: Blue Valentine (Dir. Derek Cianfrance) “I think it’s very romantic. Back home, they call it an anti-love story. But the filmmaker, when he first started writing this film 12 years ago, he said he wrote it as a reaction to all these films that he was watching, which seemed like the actors were carved out of marble and made in the image of gods. He wanted to make a film that was made in the image of man, that embraces that our faults are what makes us special and human. And these characters in this film couldn’t embrace each other’s faults, because they were trying to live up to some idea of perfection that only exists in movies. So, I think that it is romantic to acknowledge the faults.” - Ryan Gosling I loved Blue Valentine because it was so honest, but hated it at the same time because I wanted to escape from reality.

“I think it’s very romantic. Back home, they call it an anti-love story. But the filmmaker, when he first started writing this film 12 years ago, he said he wrote it as a reaction to all these films that he was watching, which seemed like the actors were carved out of marble and made in the image of gods. He wanted to make a film that was made in the image of man, that embraces that our faults are what makes us special and human.

I loved Blue Valentine because it was so honest, but hated it at the same time because I wanted to escape from reality.

"I’ve always believed that I want people emotionally involved in my story. And when they’re in a dangerous situation—just as you’d be in life in a dangerous situation—I want the readers to be almost afraid to turn the page, not knowing who’s going to win and who’s going to die. I mean, we all know books and movies where, you know, the hero may seem to be in deep trouble but you know he’s gonna get out of it because, after all, he’s the hero. Or they are the heroes of this movie. And those shows are fun, but they don’t really involve your emotions, and that’s what I’m looking for."

"The thing that nobody talks about when that whole debacle went down is that he was right. The Beyoncé video was the best video of the decade."

lovecomesyourway: “Mom, listen, I haven’t been together with Topanga for 22 years, but we have been together for 16. That’s a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born, you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together around the block. When we were two, we were best friends. I mean, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color, her favorite food. Then we became six, Eric made fun of me because it wasn’t cool to have a best friend that was a girl or even know a girl. So for the next seven years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those “the lost years”. Then when I was thirteen, mom, she put me up against my locker and she kissed me. I mean, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance. She always was talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said. All I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about, and when I’m with her, I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talk to you like this. So that’s, that’s what I think is love, mom. When I’m better because she’s here.” - Cory Matthews, Boy Meets World I will never not reblog this quote. Greatest scene ever.
