Chasing Amy

[@TheLolstar6]

One of my favourite monologues in movie history. This film is so criminally underrated.

[@paolothorpe1461]

So underrated

[@MrGuggisberg]

Especially for Joey.

[@sweetsour6783]

It's weird, Affleck is alright in this movie even though he bombed so many others.

[@ericl7842]

This is the greatest declaration of love in any film.

[@amygravelle5820]

"You are the epitome of everything I've ever looked for in another human being." I've only recently found what this really means.

Did you get a boyfriend or get married?

[@michaelcook6889]

This film is on another level. It pulls you out of your comfort zone. I'm just glad this wasn't my life.

Yup, I'm sure Kevin Smith tried this, too. Only to have been pepper sprayed as well. Only Ben Affleck could pull it off.

[@dylanwithlifesince1998]

Out of all performances by Ben Affleck in his acting career, Holden McNeil in this movie, and “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back” (2001), is his greatest role! Just, this confession of love hurts me because of how realistic it is, and how relatable, and I bet this is how someone wants to pour their heart out to the person they are in love with. And, in the next scene, the passionate kiss in the rain.

[@notmyself]

When I first saw this movie, this scene was moving but I didn't relate to what was being said. But after falling in love and watching this scene again, I realise all the words being said are true.

[@paolothorpe1461]

You still in love?

[@Gemd8]

This scene brought me to tears! I felt it in my soul😭

[@michaeldominick735]

I really need to have this conversation with someone. She’s driving me crazy. 😢

[@hangry265]

Awww go for it sweetie

[@Bella-Mae0422]

When i was younger, in highschool I never understood why people would fall in love and get so hung up on the person if it didn't work, like "just move on" would have been my reaction back then but after getting rejected, heart broken and now in a relationship and so in love with the man I'm with today I can totally understand the pain he felt and the fear she felt in this scene. Relationships and love can be beautiful but so scary bc when you give your heart to someone theres always the chance they will break it and a broken heart is one of the worst feelings in the world. It's hard to let go of someone that you've infested in so much time and energy too! Love is more in the brain then it is in the heart.. When that 1 person makes you feel that certain feeling, that feeling you you don't feel with anybody else.. It's like a drug, that person is your drug and when their gone you have to get use to life without them in it and learn to love somebody else again. She had a past and he was too insecure and immature at the time to accept it. They were good for eachother it was just bad timing, you can be with the right person at the wrong time and this was the case here. Haha sorry for the long typo. Movie really gets to me.

Faeries_Xylia 923 thanks for this 💛

[@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821]

Faeries_Xylia 923 thanks for sharing, and I know what you mean. Recently this past summer in August I went to this horror movie marathon at Cinema Arts in Long Island. I met this amazing, fun, beautiful women who I fell head over heals for. It was like we where soul mates I thought she was the one. I thought I found my significant other. I had never met a women who I had so much in common interest, felt deep, connected, alive, and complete she was everything I wanted to see in a women. I hate shopping but for once I loved going shopping with her because she helped me pick out clothes that suit my style. From the beginning it was great we had fun, then one day it's like a switch turned off with her she was having personal problems, drama that she was recovering from a bad ex-boyfriend before she met me. After that it wasn't the same with her. The last time I saw her was a month ago, and we went to see It Chapter 2 with my friends she met, and after the night was over she ended because she wasn't ready for a relationship. It's been hard ever since I broke up with her. I pray that one day I'll find love again the same way I had with her. I pray that my soulmate is out there.

[@Bella-Mae0422]

@@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821 I'm sorry! I had to go through 2 different jerks before I met my boyfriend a couple years later. I remember I thought something was wrong with me bc every guy I showed interest in either didnt like me or they were still caught up with an ex girlfriend before me. I met my boyfriend during the Summer time too. It was definitely Summer Love. I'm sure you will meet the right girl. Give it time.

[@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821]

@@Bella-Mae0422 the biggest bullshit lie my ex told me was that she told me she was not ready yet for a serious relthionship. One month later she got a boyfriend and after that I told her I want nothing to do with her and that she was garbage and full of shit. I ghosted her on social media. It's like how can I still be friends with someone who hurt me and told me she was not ready and yet you get a new guy.

[@bushbasher85]

When hes not making Dick, weed and fart jokes, Kevin Smith can be one damn good writer. If he would write a movie without his trademark humor, which I love by the way don't get me wrong, he could easily be nominated for his screenplays.

[@CrisCDXX]

it's 2024, I am 44 years old, and I have fallen deeply in love with the singer of my band. She is perfect. I have so much fear of ruining everything with her and my band. And considering that I hate myself, I probably will. Love has only given me mostly pain throughout my life. Now, I don't want to feel anything again ever. I can't live anymore with this inside and I know she will reject me. I can't live like this anymore. I am too old to fall in love and die of a broken heart again. But before I die, she will know that I love her, regardless of the consequences that will happen.

[@unchewedtaco2266]

In eighth grade I fell in love with this girl. I know people say u cannot fall in love with someone that young. I have spent almost 5 years with this girl. I am not the type of person to run away either. I have tried changing my ways and my baby momma still doesn't want to try with me. I'm a fuck up but I keep telling myself that I can do this. I can live my life without her and move on. I just don't want too. I don't want her to be with anyone else but me. We have tried before with other people and I know I am not ready right now for any of this shit. Love is a very strong and powerful drug that you don't ever want to get addicted to.. and there isn't another person out there, because I don't want there to be. You know when u found the one and I feel like I found her and took every chance I had to having a happy life and fucked it up. I just want other people to realize that you don't need someone to make you happy, you need yourself. I miss my son and my baby momma everyday. I wish I could take everything back but I can't. I hope a lot of people will treat their females in their lives with the most respect. Because I don't want other people going through what I have too. But at the same time I think this is good for me, and I could never be able to get my own place and work on myself, if I am always worried about her and my baby. The entire point of this is because my baby momma doesn't understand how much I care she looks past all the small things and only focuses on the big. So I really need to make some big changes. If anyone out there has anger issues just reach out for help because there is always some out there no matter how long it takes u need to remember that you are doing that for you and once u get the help you need people will want to be around you. I yell a lot because that is just how I was raised in a loud asf house. I don't want my son living in the same house as me it made me feel like shit just having him here. It's gross and unsafe in my eyes and I try to put effort into things but it keeps getting worse. I am not calling for help because I have already been receiving as much as I can. I really just hope nobody makes the same mistakes I have made in my life, and they actually learn from them instead of flipping out or losing their shit to make everyone around you think you are crazy.. I never knew what " you're actions have consequences" meant until like a week ago.

This hurts to watch. I loved this movie until I fell in love with my best friend and was rejected. Couldn't bring myself to watch it until recently. It hurts to watch this scene because we are no longer best friends. I did not regret telling her how I felt I do regret losing my best friend though.

[@DavidAndreaBernhard]

Been there. Had a crush on a colleague who was gay. Broke my heart when I found out and left me desperate. At some point, I had to tell her. She was totally cool. And when I asked if she felt mad or anything her answer was:"Why would I be? You are a straight man and I'm a woman. These things can happen and there is nothing wrong with it. I'm glad you told me." It was a relief. We have been close friends since. In fact, she saw my crush combined with the positive reaction as the ultimate test of friendship.

[@Maizerus]

Such a wonderful scene, and something guys in love with a platonic female friend dream about. But is not reality, and that's okay, it's a movie meant to be enjoyed. Reality is, Alyssa bolts and doesn't come back to kiss Holden after she tells him to go home... or... pretends to be okay, is dropped off and simply doesn't call again, ever. I've only ever transitioned from best friend to lover one time, she was my third wife, and she's gone now, discarded me because she was bored with me after 12 years. It is as great a feeling as they say in the beginning, but like all love, it's fleeting, fragile and is just as vulnerable to failure as all the others. I don't miss her anyway, she was a narcissist.
