Break-ups are by far some of the most unpleasant situations. Regardless of whose fault it is, they leave a bitter taste. I have the perfect recipe for broken hearts: a box of ice cream, a bowl of popcorn, alcohol and these three movies:
1. The First Wives Club
1. The First Wives Club
Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler and Diane Keaton are three women who have been deserted by their husbands for younger and more beautiful women.
Instead of feeling sorry for themselves, the three decide to take revenge on their unfaithful husbands. So, the deserted wives found The First Wives Club and hit men where it hurts most: the budget.
2. 500 Days of Summer
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zoey Deschanel are Tom and Summer. She does not believe in soul mates and true love. He is a hopeless romantic and falls madly in love with Summer.
The two eventually get together but their relationship becomes so complicated that Tom, despite his idealism, is forced to make a choice. Even if the film does not shows their relationship chronologically, it captures the sweet beginnings of a relationship, confusion and tension and the often inevitable end.
3. Heathers
If you have not seen before Heathers with Winona Ryder, Christian Slater and Shannen Doherty you will be at least stunned. Note to self: crime is not the best way to heal a broken heart.
This film does not ooze romance, but it can teach you a very important lesson when you go through a breakup: even the nicest people that are part of your life may be very toxic and you need to get rid of them.
4. She-Devil
Ruth (Roseanne Barr) was never a beautiful woman. Instead, she was a devoted mother and wife who did everything for her husband. He leaves her for Mary Fisher (Meryl Streep), a blonde version of Sandra Brown.
Initially, Ruth is devastated, but wipes her tears and devises the perfect plan to get revenge on Bob. She makes a list of the most valuable assets of her former man and destroys them methodically, step by step: home, family, career and freedom.
Before anything, Ruth sets fire to the house and takes her kids to their "new mom". Then she gets a job at a nursing home where Mary's mother is hospitalized and here she will meet Hooper, who will help her get one step closer to her plan.
Ruth and her friend establish Vesta Rose, a recruitment agency that helps disadvantaged women to find a job and get back on their feet. During this time, she successfully terminates her revenge plan against the unfaithful husband.
5. Eternal Sunshine of the Mind Spotless
Joel is an introverted man who falls for Clementine, a free-spirited woman with a very strong personality. Despite the differences between the two, they love each other and make a couple. After two years, their relationship deteriorates after a big fight, they break up.
Filled with anger, Clementine turns to the services of a company specializing in erasing memory, as she wants to forget all the details of their romance. Disappointed by this, Joel does the same. However, somewhere in the subconscious, he regretted the decision and will keep a memory of Clementine and this will completely change the story.
The lesson you can learn from the movie is that you cannot remove anyone from your life, nor is it healthy. You have to accept the past and make peace with it, or else it will affect your future.
