This movie shows us exactly what's wrong with our culture...

It is exactly our inability or unwillingness to express what it is we are TRULY feeling - that leads to relationship disaster eventually. We simply don't talk straight. We're too pre-occupied with sounding cool and socially acceptable.

This kind of break-up happens not just in relationships but also with family and friendships too.

Why can't we learn to talk straight to each other?

double edged sword,you can be totally honest with people and somehow it still gets thrown back at you. its all one giant non win situation. :)

Thrown back at you? You mean people are being brutally HONEST with you, right?

Definitely agree with you. This movie really showed how a lack of communication can cripple the most solid of relationships. Communication is so underrated these days, and it's the most important part of being a couple.
