People should be able to say how they feel..

i just thought of blogging about people should be able to say how they feel..
Why it isn't easy? ..to say what you feel, what you really feel..?
and there goes the song and the movie that entered my mind.

I NEVER TOLD YOU | COLBIE CALLIAT
I miss those blue eyes, how you kiss me at night
I miss the way we sleep
Like there's no sunrise, like the taste of your smile
I miss the way we breathe


But I never told you what I should have said
No, I never told you, I just held it in


And now I miss everything about you
I can't believe it, I still want you
And after all the things we've been through
I miss everything about you, without you


I see your blue eyes every time I close mine
You make it hard to see
Where I belong to, when I'm not around you
It's like I'm not with me


But I never told you what I should have said
No, I never told you, I just held it in


And now I miss everything about you
(Still, you're gone)
I can't believe it, I still want you
(And I'm lovin' you, I never should've walked away)
After all the things we've been through
(I know it's never gonna come again)
I miss everything about you, without you


But I never told you what I should have said
No, I never told you, I just held it in


And now I miss everything about you
(Still, you're gone)
I can't believe it, I still want you
(And I'm lovin' you, I never should've walked away)
After all the things we've been through
(I know it's never gonna come again)
I miss everything about you, without you

People should be able to say how they feel, how they really feel, without some strangers putting words in their mouths. 


love this scene from 500 days of summer
(here's the actual script Ü)

(387)
INT TOM'S BEDROOM
Alarm clock. We PAN ACROSS to see Tom is wide awake. He
probably hasn't slept in a day or so. He has no reaction to
the alarm.
INT OFFICE - LATER
Tom actually wanders in to work, wearing sunglasses and the
clothes he slept in. People pass and say hello. He can't
muster responses. At his desk,
MCKENZIE
Tom!
Nothing.
MCKENZIE
I've been calling every five
minutes. Are you ok?
TOM
What? Oh yeah. Great.
MCKENZIE
Do you need anything?
TOM
Twinkies?
MCKENZIE
Sorry.
TOM
I'm out of Twinkies.
MCKENZIE
Well let's go.
TOM
Go... where?
91.
MCKENZIE
It's Thursday.
INT BOARDROOM - LATER
Tom sits next to McKenzie and across from Vance. He's in his
usual boardroom position, which is to say, near comatose.
A female CO-WORKER, 50s, stands at the front of the room in
mid-presentation, showing slides that have something to do
with a cat in various poses. First we see, "Cat Reaching Up
for Out-of-Reach Milk Bowl."
CO-WORKER
This one says "Go for it!"
She clicks to the next slide. "Cat Hanging From Tree Branch."
CO-WORKER
This one says "Don't give up!"
Click. We see "Cat Considering a Giant Leap."
CO-WORKER
And this one says "You can do it!"
We have a whole line of
inspirational cards featuring
Pickles, my cat. I think people
will really enjoy them. Thank you.
She takes her seat.
VANCE.
Good job Rhoda, I agree. Really
inspirational stuff. Now, who's
next. We haven't heard from
"Sympathy" in a while. Hansen...
TOM
(reacting to his name)
Hmm?VANCE.
The Winter collection. You have
anything to contribute?
TOM
Uh...no. I really don't.
VANCE.
You have nothing?
92.
TOM
Well I wouldn't say nothing...
Actually, that's about right.
VANCE.
(DISAPPOINTED)
Oh...k. We'll come back to you.
McKenzie --
TOM
You know what...?
VANCE.
Yes Tom.
TOM
Can I say something about the cat?
VANCE
Well sure. Go ahead.
TOM
This here is, and Rhoda, you know I
mean no disrespect... but this...
this is total shit.
MCKENZIE
Tom!
TOM
"Don't give up?" "You can do it?"
He points to the screen, still showing the "Cat About to
Leap" image.
TOM
This isn't inspirational. It's
suicidal. He tries that jump, I'm
writing a sympathy card for that
cat. That's the last thing I want
to be doing with my life. It's bad
enough writing these things for
people.VANCE
Hansen, this is a place of
business. We don't cut down our co-
workers --
TOM
That's cause we're liars! It's what
we do here. Why don't we level with
people? Stop feeding them nonsense?
93.

CO-WORKER (RHODA)
We're a greeting card company.
TOM
Yes but think about it! Why do
people buy these things? Not to say
how they feel. There's paper and
pens for that. People give these
cards when they can't say how they
feel. Or they're afraid to. And we
provide the service that lets `em
get away with that!
Tom is getting excited. The rest of the room is growing
uncomfortable.
TOM
I say to hell with it! Let's level
with America. Or at least make them
speak for themselves! I mean,
seriously, what's this...
(picks a card off the
TABLE)
"I'm sorry to hear your grandmother
has passed." What the hell? Let's
give em some truth. Something like,
"Sorry to hear about your
grandmother. Here's a card so I get
some credit in your time of need.
I'm sure it makes up for the fact
that grandma's dead."
Vance and the card-writing team are appalled.
TOM
Think about it.
(picks up another card)
"Congratulations on your new baby."
Eh... How bout... "Congratulations
on your new baby... Guess that's it
for hanging out. Nice knowing ya,
buddy."
VANCE
Hansen, sit down!
TOM
(picks up a card)
Wait, what's this? Ooh... fancy!
Look at this one with all the
hearts. Let's open it up. "Happy
Valentine's Day, Sweetheart. I love
you." Oh that's nice.
94.

MCKENZIE
Tom...TOM
If someone gave me this card, Mr.
Vance... I would eat it.
MCKENZIE
Tom!
Tom recognizes he's losing his shit. He takes a seat on the
boardroom table.
TOM
(BEAT)
It's these greeting cards, Sir,
these cards, these movies, these
pop songs. They're responsible for
all the lies, the heartache,
everything! We're responsible!
Everyone shifts in their seats.
TOM
I think we do a bad thing here.
People should be able to say how
they feel, how they really feel,
without some strangers putting
words in their mouths. The truth. A
card is a nice thought but it
shouldn't do the dirty work for
you. You love someone, tell them
yourself, in your own words. Maybe
it's not love at all. Maybe there's
no such thing as love. Maybe
it's... "galoogoo."
(BEAT)
Yeah I made it up, so what?!
Tom gets up and walks to the door.
TOM
It's all crap. We make and peddle
crap. And sometimes people believe
in this crap. I just can't do it
anymore, Mr. Vance. There's enough
bullshit in the world without my
help. I quit.
95.
And with that he gets up and walks off. The room is pretty.
