My therapy, when I miss someone, is “Romantic Movies” with sad and tragic endings. It’s like a guilty pleasure. I cannot find a way to get out of it. Can you? Movies like Five Feet Apart can make the most insensitive person cry! If you loved this movie, then my friends, buckle up for an emotional rollercoaster.
For some very weird reason, we tend to fall for the movies that will make us cry. It’s like we love to watch something that will make us emotionally vulnerable. I get a craving for love whenever I see a movie like Five Feet Apart. The pain and struggle infused by the actors make me a sucker for drama. An infamous piece of information: The movie “Five Feet Apart” is based on a novel of the same name written by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis.
The movie revolves around the story of a girl and boy who meet in a medical center. Both the leads are suffering from a high level of cancer which does not have any treatment. To add more to their pain, the boy and the girl has to stay away from each other at a distance of 6 Feet, at all times. However, as the movie progress, they decide to take an inch of a risk and turn 6 feet into “5 Feet”. Hence the name of the movie! We all know what happens at the end.
If you loved watching “Five Feet Apart” and are looking for similar plot stories, you are in luck, my friend! After spending nights (crying sad nights) I have found some of the best movies like Five Feet Apart that you must watch! Be ready with your margaritas and a box of tissues because you cannot join the club without tears!
