I am currently addicted to the song Romance by Reckless Love and that got me thinking about why I dislike films that is filled with romance. Don't judge me, it's late at night and I can't sleep. That gets my brain in to a weird state where I ponder over the philosophical stuff or stuff like this. I came up with a few reasons that I think explains my dislike the best. 1) My idea of romance is vastly different from the way it is portrayed in most films. I mean, sure, a romantic dinner is nice and everything, but I would prefer a movie date. Something simple. Think of it like this, I would like to skip all that love at first sight, PDA, celebrating every month together crap and go straight to the old married couple stage. This may be because I'm lazy as fuck, but I'd hate going out every other day for a date. It's not like I don't want my future boyfriend (if you do exist), to not show me affection, but do it in privacy of our home (let me just assume we are living together because that's a lot more appealing because like I said, old married couple). Also let me just state that I don't believe in love at first sight. Thinking you want to have that person's baby when you just met them is not love, it's called hormones. 2) Why do the girl in those romance film have to get makeovers? You know, those with a not-so-appealing-appearance girl as the lead who falls in love with a good-looking/popular guy with a just as good-looking/popular girlfriend who is conveniently a bitch. The lead girl then proceeds to get a makeover and finally the good-looking/popular guy notices her and falls for her. They may or may not get together because there might be a character who was friends with the lead girl even before her makeover but only decides to show his feelings after her makeover. I'm not sure about the guy version of this, do they get makeovers too? Because I don't recall any movies that has a guy version of this, usually the girl falls for the guy because they did something sweet or some shit then she's all like "aww, appearance isn't everything" and falls in love with him. 3) Too little comedy/action/anything that's not romance. You can't expect me to watch an entire movie about two people trying to over come obstacles to be together and nothing else. I need comedy or action, hell even horror to keep me entertained. Also the background characters need more airtime/story-line/development, they are usually the best characters. 4) It makes annoying people post annoying quotes from romantic movies on Facebook/Twitter/any social networking site in annoyingly large amounts when they are upset/going through a rough patch/being annoying. If you are going through something rough, tell it to your friend, not broadcast it to the fucking world. Ok, this may not be a valid reason because it's not the movie's fault but I don't give a shit. 5) Unrealistic standard for real life romance/love. Not just for girls, guys too. Especially guys. Girls, stop comparing your boyfriend to the ones in romance films ok. If you are not going to act like the girl in a romance film then they are not going to act like the guy in the romance film. Even if it's based on a true story, shit is going to get exaggerated. I think that's everything. Oddly for me, I like to find romance in films that have very little romance in them. I cry over those films more than actual romance films. For example, do not watch Doctor Who with me, I will cry like a little bitch. |
