Two films I saw in the recent past:
Before Sunrise
The story of a boy who meets a girl on a train and convinces her to spend a night with her in an altogether new city to both of them. They do a lot of things together, in which their friendship and affection grows for each other, until they want to wonder if they have, what they say, fallen in love. Yet in hesitation, they decide to be pragmatic and not believe that such infatuation can indeed be called so. In an era with no quick contacts and the decision to not exchange each others' addresses, they still decide to see each other one more time - because they must - and fix a date for exactly an year later at the same train station. "I will wait."
Good Will Hunting
An exceptionally mathematically gifted orphan boy grows up to believe no one else except him can understand himself, and makes an illusory defensive world for himself in the proto-rationalisation of every and any good that could even happen to him. His cynicism is challenged by an compassionate counsellor who helps him acknowledge his vulnerability while setting him on the path to find what could possibly give an experience of fullness - in acceptance and finding love.
