Blue Valentine: Happily Ever After
"Opposites Attract" is a standard theme in romance stories, from Romeo and Juliet to whatever movie Kate Hudson is starring in this month, and it's at the centre of Blue Valentine: Cindy (Michelle Williams) is a smart, scholarly girl aiming for med school. Dean (Ryan Gosling) works for a moving company, and isn't particularly career-minded. She's reluctant to open up to his advances, but eventually accepts that he has no ulterior motives: He only wants to make her happy. They overcome the obstacles in their way and live happily ever after, until they become completely and utterly miserable.
