Alright Scott, let's see if you accept this suggestion. The "break-up" is not shown on screen, but is instead told in retrospect. And we're not sure how much of the story actually happened and how much of it is a metaphor. A bit of a stretch, perhaps, but oh so good. It's just a great scene. Paris, Texas (1984) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pukrWvzCw44 "And for the first time, he wished he were far away. Lost in a deep, vast country where nobody knew him. Somewhere without language or streets. And he dreamed about this place without knowing its name. And when he woke up, he was on fire. There were blue flames burning the sheets of his bed. He ran through the flames towards the only two people he loved. But they were gone. His arms were burning. And he threw himself outside, and rolled on the wet ground. Then he ran. He never looked back at the fire. He just ran. He ran until the sun came up, then he couldn't run any further. And when the sun went down, he ran again. For five days he ran like this until every sign of man had disappeared."

Perhaps the ultimate movie and break up, but folks usually miss the obvious parallel in this scene that the whole movie was a break up of our country on every level. The Philadelphia Story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rzJfU5ZsVM Tracy Lord: [Tracy and Mike have almost kissed. Both are very drunk] Has your mind taken hold again, dear professor? Macaulay Connor: Good thing, don't you agree? Tracy Lord: No, professor. Macaulay Connor: [angrily] Alright, lay off that "professor" stuff! Now, do you hear me? Tracy Lord: Yes, professor...

Good Will Hunting You need to watch the entire scene, really, not just the part listed below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq0apHW6Ezw Skylar: What is your obsession with this money? My father died when I was 13 and I inherited this money. You don't think that every day I wake up and wish I could give it back? That I would give it back in a second if I could have one more day with him? But I can't, and that's my life and I deal with it. So don't put your shit on me when you're the one that's afraid. Will: I'm afraid? What am I afraid of? What the fuck am I afraid of? Skylar: You're afraid of me! You're afraid that I won't love you back! Fuck it, I wanna give it a shot! At least I'm honest with you.
