    Part of the reason why I loved the character of Cristina Yang so much was because a lot of her most emotional scenes weren't about relationship drama so much as they were about a woman reckoning with her goals and dreams and realizing that some people were holding her back (lovers, teachers) and she had to let go of them. Cristina never lost sight of her goal of being a kickass heart surgeon - that was her driving motivation throughout the series and all her relationships took a back seat to that. And she wasn't shamed for it or painted as this weird unnatural woman! I think I'm just now realizing how meaningful that is to me. In a world where women are still expected to have nothing but marriage and children as their ultimate goals, we need characters like that.

      Here's the thing it was nothing wrong with her decision to just be about her career. In Christina mind both Owen and Burke was supposed to be just about sex. She never loved Burke the man, she loved Preston Burke the surgeon. She was willing to marry him but not have his kids. She told him in the beginning that all they had in common was medicine. He fell in love with her anyway and wanted to marry her and overlook her flaws and ambitions. Owen she actually loved him and told him that she loved him more than she loved Burke. She told him that she didn't want to love Owen because she knew what all that entailed and she wanted to stay focused. If she was honest here and told Owen listen I don't want kids and I don't see a future with you outside of this hospital having the nice house and kids and dog then their relationship wouldnt have been a waste.

      @@drlanae you clearly missed the part where he also wanted her to be more like the 1950s bride and have a big wedding and his mother and her mother chipping away at everything she wanted. And as the other person said she was lying FOR him and he went along with it. As her teacher he didn't encourage the right thing and he didn't have the balls to speak up. This is all coming from someone who actually loved burke and cristina, their relationship was flawed in the worst ways.

    Burke was- He took something from me. He took little pieces of me, little pieces over time, so small I didn't even notice, you know? He wanted me to be something I wasn't, and I made myself into what he wanted. One day I was me Cristina Yang, and then suddenly I was lying for him, and jeopardizing my career, and agreeing to be married and wearing a ring, and being a bride. Until I was standing there in a wedding dress with no eyebrows, and I wasn't Cristina Yang anymore. And even then, I would've married him. I would have. I lost myself for a long time. And now that I'm finally me again, I can't. I love you. I love you more than I loved Burke. I love you. And that scares the crap out of me because when you asked me to ignore Teddy's page, you took a piece of me, and I let you. And that will never happen again.

    No character in the history of Grey's Anatomy has ever been written better than Cristina Yang. She never sold Owen a dream, she made it clear that she didn't want to be a mother. Not that she wouldn't be an amazing mother but that's just not the life she wanted. I always loved that after Burke she never let her love life supersede her goals "Don't let what he wants, eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy, but he is not the sun. YOU are!"

    She isn't saying that she never loved Burke. She isn't saying that what they had wasn't real or doesn't mean anything but hindsight really is 20/20 and once you have been out of a situation long enough you begin to look back and see all the cracks in the foundation you missed at the time. She slowly changed everything she was trying to be what he wanted, not because he forced her to, but because she wanted him to want her. Him letting her go was his way of showing his love. He saw what she couldn't; that she was becoming someone she didn't really want to be, and so he walked away. Honestly she and Owen wound up having the same problem in the end only he didn't have the strength to stay away so Cristina was the one who set him free. That freedom is always bittersweet because it aches and you feel so lost without them because you don't know who you are without that person anymore. She didn't trash the relationship. She was just honest about its flaws. Also love the way she mentioned the having no eyebrows.

      I can see what Cristina meant about Burke taking pieces of her in Season 3, especially when she was lying for him and doing his surgeries. But in Season 2, it felt that Burke had to drag her kicking and screaming through just basic relationship stuff. Giving her a key to his apartment, asking her to move in, having Thanksgiving with her friends, even just having breakfast as a couple. Every time Christina would complain and gripe about all of it. Its one thing to compromise yourself for someone, which I think she did for Burke in Season 3. But throughout most of Season 2, she refused to open herself up to Burke beyond sex, hence why he had to push her into opening up even a little.

    • @Book_Dragon2562
      @Book_Dragon2562 4 роки тому +19

      C.C. Ekeke I’m not blaming Burke in any way, and neither is she. Cristina was an incredibly guarded individual who came into Seattle Grace determined to be on her own and it took a lot of consistency on Preston’s part to make her understand he loved her and had no intentions of being pushed away. He didn’t *ask* her to change who she was. She just didn’t know how to be in a relationship and still be her. Honestly, I think she had the same problem with Owen. When it comes down to it, Cristina is drawn to men who want things that she does not want and that always seems to be their undoing.

    I think the "taking away of pieces" went both ways in their relationship.

      Exactly. I am surprised at how the interpretation of their relationship is so one dimensional. Except for the last couple of episodes of S3, which made the actor's exit evident, I never felt Burke tried to change her. The last few episodes were really off, for Burke's character. There was no point in ruining his character. If there is no give and take in a relationship then what is the point of being in a relationship!? He was okay with her no wearing the ring, getting married in the city hall and suddenly he thinks she was joking!!?? Sad way to ruin the story, they could have killed him instead.

      I don't like Owen, but I do think he was better for Cristina than Burke. Burke was never willing to let Cristina flourish the way she wanted to. You can even argue what we saw with Owen/Cristina's marriage would have happened with Burke since Burke did want kids. The difference is Burke wanted Cristina to hold her career back for family whereas Owen wanted her to want both. Owen also knew how much Cristina's career meant to her and wanted her to succeed in it. IMO Owen will probably always be the love of Cristina's life, not Burke.

    One of my all time favorite scenes. The acting is fantastic, the music is perfect. Christina's delivery was perfect- the determined, tear-choked voice at the end, the little pauses, the slight slurring together of words - it's so clear that it's hard for her to talk about, that she just wants to be done talking about it but that she will thorough even if it hurts because she doesn't do anything half way. The almost-smile in her voice when she says "Burke?" suggests that she's handling the situation with just a hint of the dark amusement that she carries within her, that she uses later to handle Owen's betrayal after he trips in the bathroom and she can't stop laughing. Even though Owen doesn't speak for the second half of the video, his facial expressions speak volumes, especially the way his eyes continue to soften. When he hears Christina say "he took something from me" his face begins to slacken, concern replacing frustration - and perhaps regret too, realizing that he is getting what he asked for at the price of making Christina dig up painful memories. He looks almost like he wants to take it back, not only to relieve any pain of hers but as if it just occurred to him, from the thoughtful tone of her voice, that he may not want to hear this. Because she has put a lot of thought into the risk of getting hurt again - and she may still be weighing whether or not love is worth the risk. His face really shows his slow realization that Christina has just cause to be afraid of her love for him. What a scene.

    I can relate to Christina, soooo much. She knows what it's like to have someone take something from them. You change when you're with someone and I don't think she wanted that anymore. She didn't want any of it. But she fell in love. That's what love does to us. So she lost herself and she doesn't want that. And now that she is back to herself, she loves Owen but she doesn't want what happen with Burke happen with Owen. Because you can see by her emotion it broke her, it really broke her & she really did lose herself.
    That is the reason why she is hard to love/pushes people away and the way she is.
    She's an amazing character and I hate that she left because she made the show honestly. She made it with her sexiness with her emotions and with her honesty.

    Maybe its just my opinion but I think ppl stress too much about how people change in a relationship for each others too much...everyone of us change around people we like, we change for many reasons and many aspects in life.
    Yes she changed for Burke, but she also changed for Mere, she also became softer and caring because having friends required her too do so.
    I do know about wether Christina's change was good or bad, but I know people change not only for others but for themselves too, and this self determined part is often being neglected.

    Christina might've ended up loveing Owen mkre then Burke and stuff... but to all you who are saying Burke was bullying Christina Intl stuff and all that...like really? did you watch the show? I agree that in certain times of their relationship it would've been considered toxic (like When Christina dis his surgeries for him) but that was on both of them. they both loved eachother SO much yet they wanted different things in their relationship... even Derek had to do some pushing with Meredith because she was a little iffy with that stuff too. the difference, Derek stuck around to work it all out. and if it wasn't for the actor I wonder if Burke would've too. I actually liked Burke's character a lot, outside of Christina and his relationship. and I wish that even if that hadn't ended up together they wouldn't have fired him. But back to the point, they did love eachother, and people change people, its a good thing, not a bad thing and with love you have to sacrifice what you want sometimes... Burke should've sacrificed mkre for her I agree.. but I don't think he was "bad" for her. I think they could've easily made things work and have a fantastic relationship if they hadn't fired the actor and they chose that path. cuz I like Owen, I do, and I like their relationship, but I'll always ship her with Burke more

      The problem with burke for me is that burke had more power in the relationship. Back then christina was not as experienced both in her job and emotionally. Burke had most off the power in the relationship. Like she said she lost herself to him. At this stage in her life she knew when to draw boundaries. She knew when to put her foot down. I knew burke loved her but at that time in her life it wasn't for the best in my opinion. Derek was very different with mer. I didn't feel the imbalance so much with them. Maybe because both der/merwhere very different people. But in any case I have always loved theae different relationships.

    @royallly What Jerry meant to say was that Cristina had taken a huge risk for her career to help Burke. And what hurt her most was when Burke got the Harper Avery Award, he did not even mention her in it. Even though it was her idea, Cristina gambled her career (something she valued more than life itself) to help the man she loved. It was probably the most noble thing she has ever done. ANd I'm not badmouthing Burke; IMO, he made Cristina grow into a much better person.

    This speech hit home for me. Despite being a strong, ambitious woman, I am a doormat in a relationship. I love people so deeply that I will do anything for them and it does feel like losing pieces of yourself. The worst part of it is that you don't notice it when it first happens and it is not the man's fault. It is so natural to want to please someone you love that it often happens naturally, to both men and women.

      Old comment, I know, but IMO, it didn't need to be emphasized. The monologue is all about explaining to him how what he did was just like what her ex did. I think that was all the emphasis it needed. If the viewers remembered the connection, great! If not, the scene still worked.

    @sesskag17 4 роки тому +7

    You know, I'm gonna get a lot of backlash but why is the man always the damn villain? He took pieces of her, but honestly, she kinda gave them freely. How many times did Burke ask Christina if she wanted to end things? How many times did she SEE what Burke was? Oh and she wanted to cover for him, it was her IDEA. Yes, Burke did shitty things, he didn't give Christina credit when he won the Harper Avery, he sometimes pushed her away when he didn't understand her, or her ideals on spirituality, veganism, or her constant need to be the best. Those are things Christina didn't give him, or atleast things she thought he wouldn't care to know. Burke, mostly took Christina as is.
    And in the end, he did the BEST thing for her and let her go. Owen didn't. He drug things out, he knew she didn't want kids, but tried to con her into having them. He blamed her, cheated on her. So, who really took pieces? Idk. Maybe I'm just tired of the victim mentality. Take responsibility, it takes two to make a relationship.

    He was... he took something from me. He took little pieces of me - little pieces over time, so small I didn't even notice, you know he wanted me to be something I wasn't, and I made myself into what he wanted. One day I was me, Danu, and then suddenly I was lying for him and agreeing to be in a relationship with him and starving myself. I couldn't recognize myself I didn't know who I was. Until I was standing there in the middle of the room with no clothes on and agreeing to be intimate with him, because i was afraid of how he is going to feel if I didn't do it. And I wasn't Daniela Dragu anymore. And even then, I would've stayed with him. I would have. I lost myself for a long time, and now that I'm finally me again, I can't. I love you. I love you more than I loved him. I love you. And that scares the crap out of me, because when you asked me to act like a normal person, to stop stressing about stuff or to feel love towards other people you took a piece of me, and I let you. And that will never happen again.

    This is why I loved this season so much. Christina was well and truly Christina again.
    I liked her relationship with both Burke and Owen, however the relationships were both toxic in different ways.
    With Burke, he truly understood Christina's passion and die hard love of surgury and that's what made their love so intoxicating they both are the most passionate people they know. Ultimately, Christina nails it when she says that Burke took little pieces of her and in later seasons she realises that the best thing Burke did was leave. For me Burke and Yangs relationship always seemed to have Mentor/Mentee feel to it which meant Burke always felt like the boss in the relationship.
    Then Owen comes around and he and Christina for the most part are on equal fitting as far as dominance in the relationship. I always felt like Owen understood Christina as a person and her emotions as well as their relationship being a lot more emotional despite the fact that both of them are hesitant to show emotion. Owen understood and listened to Christina and took the time to at least try and figure her out. He was was quick to understand Christina and Meredith's relationship and embrace it instead of getting mad about it like Burke did, he even embraced it quicker than Derek did too. But Ultimately, Owen couldn't get the fact that Christina's true love was always and will always be surgury.
    Ultimately, no one could truly and completely understand Christina apart from Meredith. Christina was such an important character for me to see in my teenage years. An independent woman who loved her job and didn't apologise or feel guilty for putting it first and never doubted herself.

    Everything that she says about her relationship with Burke is true. How she talks is really how people talk about their exes. They downplay the relationship or talk trash about their ex so they can feel okay about the fact that its over. Burke bullied her all through the relationship and kept giving her ultimatums. Watch the episodes, you'll see. I think he would have succeeded where Owen hasn't. He would have bullied her into having kids. Their breakup made her stronger.

    • @th2k864
      @th2k864 6 років тому +2

      I never saw bullying I saw a man who knew he was with a strong woman who put her to the test. I think it was more of a thing where Burke wanted Christina to be like him, so he was as hard on her as he was on himself. In their final scene together Christina tells Burke that she wanted to "be him". She just didn't have enough time with him to learn how to do that, if she had she would have begun to push and challenge him as much as he was challenging her.

    • @maria901

Say is that they didn't of people that just don't like them and because of some that he supposed to say it to another active and got fired from when from what I understand the fight was between him and Patrick Dempsey from what I heard he didn't call the other guy that there was a fight between him and Patrick Dempsey and the other was nowhere around they wanted to best actors on the show and those were the two best characters on the show and they was acted by two actors that are real good at what they do for a living and it shows in all three season that he was on there alongside her
