moved and heartbroken

This is one of my favorite dramas, Wicker Park, a 2004 remake. It is said that because the director used a rather obscure technique in editing, the evaluation was not high. But I personally think that this movie has a lot of intentions, and it may be more suitable for a part of the audience who have some understanding of the language of the film.
I really like Josh Hartnett's performance in the movie, hesitation and determination are natural. The setting of the plot itself is also relatively good, and the ending is even more touching and trembling.
I really like the music of the movie. In fact, I also watched the movie after listening to the original soundtrack. At that time, I didn't know, it would be so heartbreaking to watch.
I don't want too much spoilers, some movies are like this, I keep them well and don't give them away. "Wicker Park" is such a movie, a moving and heartbreaking movie that I rarely see.

    Luke: No. Shh. It's okay.

    Alex: I'm so sorry.

    Luke: No. Please, don't apologize. Please. God. I know you're doing the best you can. I just... I want to you to know that I... that I love you. All right? And I don't want to play games anymore. What's the point? I'm just terrible at them anyways.
