You can love until you die but you cannot die because of love.
A love can be born, grow or simply end. But the important thing is to know how to turn page and start over.
There are so many ways to overcome the end of a love. There is music, in fact, but there is also cinema. Here, 10 “breakup movies” that will help you face the end of a story and find a way to smile again.

(500) Days of Summer (2009)
________________________
This is NOT a love story. And given the premises, it’s a great movie if you’re going through a difficult time with the partner or the partner (ex, coming to this point) refuses your calls. It’s the story of a boy, Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and a girl, Summer (Zooey Deschanel). The two of them start hanging out, they like each other, he falls in love, she doesn’t want a serious story, they breakup. A story like many others, a story we all went through. However, this film is never a banal one. Why see it? Because the final optimism will give you the right strength to start over.

He’s Just Not That into You (2009)
________________________
Nine characters (a stellar cast!) in an interconnection of stories that will make you open your eyes on love and on what we think we know about love, which sometimes confuses us a bit. But reality is the same for all of us and sometimes you have to bang your head over and over before simply admit that maybe … the truth is that he/she’s just not that into you!

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
________________________
Two words: simply beautiful. Two great interpreters of international cinema, Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, together in a comedy that, even though has several ironic nuances, digs deep into human feelings, showing all its facets. The film tells the story of Joe and Clementine, a couple who is very in love. But love is also a difficult choice and we do not always have the courage to go all the way through it. Sometimes we prefer to cancel everything and start again. But that’s not always the best solution.
