Ok, So everyone knows I'm a horror freak anyway, however I have major rage about romantic movies!!!
They should be banned, they give girls (probably not just girls to be fair) a stupid idealised image of romance, an image where people have one perfect soulmate, where people are always eventually forgiven for their fuck-ups and where the guy will go to any lengths to fight for his girl! The reason I hate this - is because its all bullshit!!!
These ideals are completely fucked up, they instigate stupidity and false hopes and beliefs. They make people hold out for something that doesn't even exist.
There are billions of people on this planet, so why would there ever be just 1 person for everyone, no what there really is, is just several combinations of people who for some reason at one time or another work together for a while. And if you fuck up, chances are, you have fucked up - no one is gonna forgive you, weather or not you run in at the last scene with some grand gesture, its not gonna be enough. And honestly - no one IS gonna bother with those grand gestures, no one is gonna make that much effort!
Love is not any of this, it hopeless! Its pain and everything the movies tell you is lies, because if you are lucky enough to find someone who compliments you so perfectly, chances are you will lose them. Sooner or later! Chasing Amy - there is a film about love that pretty much has it right, its a realistic view point, in my opinion.
People should just say screw it and watch Saw, at least you'll come out of it with some survival tips, and a more realistic view of the nature of people.
So we should ban these chick-flicks, before they can make anyone else stupid!
