Congratulations. Luvky you. My first love found me on FB. I know I am.his first love but for him he just found out May 2023. I thought were doing okay. I don't know what happened? He just stop communicating with me. 😢
Everyone thinking this is cute is delulu. The dad dying was an accident. The fire not so much. Planned arson isn't cute or romantic no matter the motive. I didn't like this movie. Don't get me wrong the fact that they were so in love is sweet but obsessive love is usually toxic. They might have started as just two teens enjoying and expressing their love but planned arson? Too much. From a parents point of view it really is too much. He literally went over to her house unannounced while they were sleeping and snuck into her room to bang her while she was asleep studying. That's not a healthy relationship and y'all are glamorizing it too much. The only thing I like about it is how I relate to David in the beginning. Everyone thinks you're sucking up when you're honest and kind to the family of the one you love and they criminalize you for it. Been there.
First love is the hardest to get over and so in-depth. When this movie came out, it was summer after I graduated high school and I had just broke up with my first love like 2 months prior. He ended the relationship after I confessed to a fling (just kissing), owned it apologized and wanted to work on our relationship. I had finally realized he was truly who I wanted. He said he had to let me go due to pride. I never understood because I was only 17 years old. The Blue Lagoon had come out a year prior and this year it was Endless Love with Brooke Shields. They were playing the soundtrack over and over and that was killing me so I never did go see the movie. I never really heard anyone talking about the movie either but the song by Lionel Ritchie was popular. It took me over a year to get over my first love. I had deep depression. I had to seek counseling. Throughout the years I never really felt I was over him and always wondered what it would have been like if we had stayed together, gotten married and had kids like we had planned. I never found anyone who loved me unconditionally. I always wondered if I should have ever been truthful. The truth and my actions cost me my love at age 17. 38 years later my first love reached out to connect as friends. As we started talking he brought up things about himself I never knew which made me question our relationship. Things I felt I should have known. We were kids. I think I was 14 when we met and 17 when it ended. His father died months before we broke up. I realized our relationship was more sexual than it was friendship. I really didn’t know him but our love was deep (back then). What I realized 38 years later, after mourning him all those years, is that I really didn’t connect with this person. He had beliefs and values and morals different than mine. And partly because I had never asked him. He was in my sense a jerk, big ego, big republican, a flirt. It was like the universe knew there was a reason we broke up and I wasted all those years mourning a person who wasn’t even who I thought he was. The break up involved another guy who I thought they had ended their friendship. They didn’t stay friends forever but for a short while after our breakup and even went skydiving together. And my friends and acquaintances that he met through me, that I had lost touch with, and they never acted like they liked him, were all friends or acquaintances on his Facebook. He never married. He proposed to two different women and both turned him down even though they were pregnant with his child. Our re-connection only lasted a year which he ended again because he didn’t like my reaction to something and I can finally let him go. No loss. So because of my young age, like the movie, sort of, I thought I was in love with someone, but it was never really what I thought. I was too young to understand. Sex blinds you. Here we are 2024, I’m 60 and could finally watch the movie. That deep hurt David felt I can totally relate.
The movie goes to show you may feel in love but that doesn’t mean the other person is as in love as you are. It also shows that if the other person is not reaching out and not looking for you (even if they still love you), maybe it’s time to let go. David pushed himself on that family so much for what he himself, David, wanted, it was intoxicating. If this were real life, was Brook’s love enough to accept her family’s home and all their belongings burnt down, that the family had to uproot and move, her parents got divorced, her father died basically trying to protect his family and the mother wanted to sleep with her ex-boyfriend, and everyone else in her family appears to hate David and will always blame him for the death of their father. Is it worth all that when David is clearly obsessed, never went to college and may have psychological issues and his own family separated?

Is it worth all that when David is clearly obsessed, never went to college and may have psychological issues and his own family separated? And David is so obsessed that even if they got married and later on Jade wanted to move on, could he handle it or would it be a murder suicide (domestic violence) or would David commit suicide? Regardless of how you feel, you want a relationship where the families love you and you all get along for the most part. You can love someone and not want to pursue that relationship and that’s okay.
You can love someone who’s not good for you. It’s your choice to move on. I’m surprised David was never charged with harassment. It also bothered me. I do feel he didn’t intentionally burn down house to harm that family. I think he thought he would get Jade’s attention and the fire would be put out. But while in an institution, he never tried to attend counseling and he was clearly depressed and wanted control of the situation and Jade. Why the doctors released him when he didn’t even try. And the parents had to know the only reason he was begging for release was to get to Jade. Then he broke his parole/probation which could mean he starts serving 20 years. Was that going to help his relationship with Jade? His parents suffered as much as Jade’s family in a different way. And David was causing everyone’s pain to get to Jade. I do think maybe everything could have turned out better when the father decided David needed a break from his daughter, they should have sat David down and explained why. And maybe called David’s parents and explained why. Make him feel confident this was only a necessary break/intervention and they could all sit down and talk again after 30 days. I don’t know if they needed to let David know Jade was taking prescription drugs to sleep because he never left her alone at night. But they also needed to let David and Jade speak, even for 15 minutes before the 30 days started. So the two could decide if they wanted to wait or date other people during their break. No surprises. And if Jade decided to let David go and move on (which I believe she did), she needed to let him know that. She was the only person who could break his spell. And even then without mental health treatment for David, I’m not sure he could let go. David never turned to his own father for guidance and it sounded like his father understood what he felt and had felt that before. It’s funny how Jade’s mother was so attracted to David when David saw her as a second mother. And David’s father who was envious of the love Jade and David had. I think Jade’s father felt he was losing his little girl and maybe needed to explain his feelings to his wife to work through boundaries for Jade and allowing her to grow up. And maybe the 30 day break was more for Jade’s father than anyone else. But I would have concerns if my 15 year old daughter’s boyfriend was spending the night, caught him with no clothes, her grades were going down and she was sneaking prescription drugs. And no one was talking to either one about protection knowing they were sexually active and he was a doctor.
I didn’t understand the ending. It could have gone both ways. I wish the movie would have picked one. Brook was 15/16 but because she was so tall, she liked older. David was a great actor in this movie, really the main part and carried the roles for both. I heard Shirley Knight didn’t want Brook which I could understand. I think Debra Winger or Christy Mcnichol would have been good as well. Debra could bring or play the innocence as well. It wasn’t Brook’s acting as much as her beauty and innocence that she brought to part.
You don't necessarily find true love again. I am 60 yrs old. I never found true love after the breakup of my first love at age 20. Sure I had bfs and a husband but none were the same as that first one. We met as teenagers and we were just too young to handle that kind of relationship yet. Some things are once in a lifetime.
Well...my dude SNUCK IN MY GARAGE AND CAME IN BROKE MY KITCHEN TABLE bc i didnt text him for 10 days...he's now in jail. IF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA doesnt grant me restraining order...im not filing one.
Excelente ator...os dois atuaram maravilhosamente, mas o Martin Hewitt é emoção à flor da pele,de chorar a cada cena dramática!linda história, e triste também ❤😢❤😢
I saw this at the Odeon, Newcastle upon Tyne. Still remember the girls coming out of the cinema with wet eyes, my girlfriend, my first love , included. I still think of her now and then, our first loving was in the front room of her parents house one Friday night , a gas fire, sheepskin rug and Motown L.P. On the record player, not quite a mansion like the movie but it was so beautiful for us
In late November 2014 I met Brooke Shields at her book signing for There Was A Little Girl in Glendale, California. I mentioned this movie to her. While signing my purchased copy, she replied, "I haven't seen the movie in years." She was very nice to me. In 2019, I have no idea why I called Martin Hewitt at his place of work in central California by leaving a message requesting a returned phone call. I wasn't sure if he would return the call. The following morning my phone rang. Just waking up I answered it. I told the man to call me back because I was sleeping. As soon as the call ended I realized it was Martin Hewitt. I absolutely knew it was Martin Hewitt. He never called me back. So I sent an email requesting a courteous autograph sent to my home address in San Pedro, Los Angeles. The autograph never came. So I just let it go. I remember telling him in the email how much I was a fan of Endless Love. I read Martin Hewitt lost interest in pursuing a Hollywood career because he was given a role as a gay male prostitute in West Hollywood. He wasn't interested in this role. He probably felt like his dignity was being challenged. I guess I needed to make contact. I remember watching Endless Love at 8 in Garland, Texas 1981. My little impressive mind was touched. This movie stirred my little imagination.
Terrible movie. Dude was obsessed and not in love
Congratulations. Luvky you. My first love found me on FB. I know I am.his first love but for him he just found out May 2023. I thought were doing okay. I don't know what happened? He just stop communicating with me. 😢
What really happened to us? I still love you, DR. Why was there a heartbreak 💔 written in our fate? Why we don't meet at the right time?

This Joker prequel was awful.

80's movie still watching in 2024.. Really Endless ❤
I would like to know why this film was so reviled by American critics.
You don't necessarily find true love again. I am 60 yrs old. I never found true love after the breakup of my first love at age 20. Sure I had bfs and a husband but none were the same as that first one. We met as teenagers and we were just too young to handle that kind of relationship yet. Some things are once in a lifetime.
Fade out 3 min 7 is so nice with the music upllifting
No one will ever love me like that… I was once like David! Never felt love like that again… I’m an old man looking back at my life,…
Well...my dude SNUCK IN MY GARAGE AND CAME IN BROKE MY KITCHEN TABLE bc i didnt text him for 10 days...he's now in jail. IF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA doesnt grant me restraining order...im not filing one.
Excelente ator...os dois atuaram maravilhosamente, mas o Martin Hewitt é emoção à flor da pele,de chorar a cada cena dramática!linda história, e triste também ❤😢❤😢
Ewwww
👩🏼❄️🐇🔛🔝
The modern love story like The Romeo and Juliet. What a beautiful movie and music.
Barbara Streisand called this movie and Endless bore.
I'd call it endless lust
Love is not for the weak. Dont be like david guys 😂
Lmaooo
Martin Hewitt acting is atrociously bad
Uma geração que ficou sem saber se eles finalmente ficaram juntos.....
Do they actually pause her posing like in the end in the acually move?
Leif Garrett should have been cast as her leading man....that movie would have exploded!!!
Solo una vez en la vida se ama así ...y no hay nada equiparable
Akit tiszta szívből szeretünk, azt megvárjuk, bármi is történjen! ❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Ah Brooke Shields, one of my 1st crushes (I'm 3 years younger so was perfectly ok 😊)
Thanks. I actually like reading the credits and listening to an amazing song like this ❤
Hasta hoy sigo imaginando q icruzaria la pista para ver a a su Jane...creo q todos querian eso,q es la vida sin estar enamorado?
God, Brooke & that song 🎵 made this movie so unforgettable! 💔

Its horrible being in love when ur eight and a half never mind that its horrible being in love ❤ at forty seven lol or any age xxxx
Obsession
With jade going too visit David, I'm guessing they possibly get back together.
I really like this movie 🎥 even though it could have been better. You just have to get the message about young love.
In late November 2014 I met Brooke Shields at her book signing for There Was A Little Girl in Glendale, California. I mentioned this movie to her.

Of course she's right. Never again will anyone love her like that.
Beautiful!
Wow
But I hurt......
You will always be loved like that.. the beauty of ot all. Breathless I am.. ever frickin time I come back to watch this film
The whole movie about nothing but obsession not love.
David was wacko.
