| Romantic comedies |
Just finished watching Alex&Emma, a typical romantic comedy starring Kate Hudson and Luke Wilson. I luv watching romantic comedies, give me a good one anytime! However, after watching one, i do feel a little upset and frustrated at times. Why is it that movies, fairy tales and even cartoons always have to end with the couple being together and kissing after overcoming many obstacles? Why is it that they never do show what happens after the couple get together? Why do they have to portray the image that they will most probably live happily ever after but not really show the viewers if they really do.
My classic example is Cinderalla, who suffered greatly under the hands of her evil stepmother and step-sisters till she met her prince charming and after much difficulties, they do end up together, and thats the end. Hey.. don't Cinderella ever quarrelled with her prince? Will Cinderella grow so fat that her glass slippers will just crack when she wears them? Has Cinderella ever thought of a divorce? Its these little things in life that is evident in our daily life that gets left out in romantic stories. Yes i know that fairy tales and all are supposed to make us realised that its possible to live happily ever after but is everything really that sweet and nice.
Sometimes it does occur to me that magnificant love stories are happening all the time, just that we do not recognise them. We may be swept off our feet by Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black, especially when he was licking peanut butter off the spoon or by Freddie Prinze Junior in She's All That, when he was driving all around Beverly Hills, and calling the hotels just to locate Laney BUT these things does happened in our everyday lives, don't they? I just that if each of our life is made into a movie, perhaps we get to see things in a different angle, just add the music and lighting, we will realised that we are starring in the Great 20th Century Movie . But then, we do not have music and playbacks to remind us that.
Well, if you ask me again, i am so cynical. I will probably tell u that in Fairy tale land, half the couples are divorce or having affairs; as for the other half, they will be so bored with each other that they are scheming how to kill their spouse. The 7 drawfs??? They are probably gay. Sleeping beauty? Well, the prince is probably interested in her money cos she is like a 100 years older than him!
I think there's something wrong with me, I am such a big time sucker for things that i do not believe in. I simply love fairy tales, romantic comedies and trashy love stories. In fact i think that the large volume of trashy movies and books is doing me more harm than good, I have so high expectation of love and relationship that makes me feel dissatisfied at times, I feel that I am missing out so much! okies, now i am better.. seriously!!!
Anyway, do not think that i will ever stop watching romantic comedies. They are too entertaining. What are your favourites? mmm... i like Dirty Dancing, Pretty Women, You've got mail (all the meg ryan shit LOL), and the list goes on n on n on... |
