What types of movies do both of you enjoy together

Remember when you enjoyed the simple things together?

 One thing I love about “The Lovers” is that it’s impossible to categorize. I hate the word “dramady,” which seems so dismissive, and “romance” doesn’t usually apply to a couple who are already married 20+some years at the beginning of the movie.

Her response:  I agree that it’s in a league of its own. Writer-director Azazel Jacobs has taken the realistic, well-rounded approach of “Manchester by the Sea” – an unusual beast itself – and added an atypical love story.

 Except that “Manchester” is so tightly conceived and executed, and “The Lovers” seems so loose and nimble.

Her response: I wouldn’t be surprised if Mike Leigh had a ghostwriting credit here. It’s that level of humane.

Exactly. And it’s so nice to see Tracy Letts and Debra Winger, who can be so intense, playing Michael and Mary, a couple who are basically improvising their lives. Only Robert (Aidan Gillen), Mary’s lover, has the self-confidence to exert some control.

The above is a conversation between a lady friend and myself during a movie we both enjoyed.... it seem like this doesn't happen very much these days as folks are into their own little worlds... Not really enjoying the same things....
Social media and other distractions  are interfering with face to face or side by side interaction time between people.
 My thoughts are not important to you.... and Your thoughts are not important to me... therefore we co-exist and almost never connect anymore which leads to:  "  I've had enough of this relationship... it's been real"

All too often, our thoughts and conversations reveal that we wrestle with characters who have moved on and events that don't really mate.
The people who surround us are kept on hold while we invest valuable amounts of time and attention to areas of the past that are dead issues and possess no ability to reward ... personally I think that the greatest of all depressions come when we live and gather our successes just to prove something to someone who isn't even looking. Have you stopped to appreciate what life has allowed you to accomplish, or have you been too busy trying to make an impression on someone, who shouldn't even matter?
Somewhere self doubt and self deprivation there is contentment, and contentment is born out of necessity. It springs up in the heart that lives in an empty house, and in the smile that comes on the face of a person who has amused him/herself with his/her own thoughts. You can't tell what's in you by looking at you!
When you establish patience, character and concentration in the school of " nothing seems to be happening" you will be surprised things start making sense.
