HPD and romantic movies

Postby Robert100 » Fri Dec 04, 2015 9:24 pm

Question for HPD's . How do you enjoy romantic movies. Or any movies about love, relationship, marriage or a drama .
How do happy / sad endings make you feel.
What if a character of the opposite sex, cheats on his partner in the movie. How do you feel towards that character? Good Bad look up to him / down?
All about movies now not real live.

I'm not too interested in sappy kind of movies where everything is too cute and perfect. A sad ending that makes me cry is usually more interesting. I usually like darker themes in movies, even if its a romance, there should be some dark twist to it.

I also dislike sappy movies.

I actually prefer movies thar portray the rare, eccentric, odd and at the same time using a REALISTIC approach to it. There is so much more about what's going on in life than what we perceive, are told how to perceive or that are portrayed in literary works/movies .... I like movies that shed light into the real, mundane, but in a realistic way and showing what most people choose to ignore or just fail to see for what it really is.

In a way, I like my movies to be an artistic portrayal of an accurate analysis of reality - that includes relationships and romance.

I despise romantic comedies, which are the opposite of what I enjoy: unreal portrayal of the idealizations of the stupid and feeble, instead of a gracious guide to an analysis of something real.

I like what you said TN and I like movies like that too

One of my favorite "romance" movies is Last Tango in Paris. its dark and kind of surreal, and has a very unexpected ending. It twists in a totally different direction than I expected it too, yet it is also strangely realistic, and sheds light on one aspect of the human condition...maybe not commonly talked about in polite society.

I'm good with a sappy movie now and then, but I liked what you wrote twisted. The movies that are ultimately the most fulfilling for me are the ones that shed some light on a subject that is rarely talked about, those semi-rare movies that make you think.

ok so no uncontrollable tears in romantic or sad or emotional scenes.?
In your opinion you don't cry either more or a lot less than other girls do?

When I was younger I may have been more idealistic and more easily moved and cried at happy endings, etc. I've gotten more cynical now and don't believe in idealistic true live any more. I don't know how I compare to other girls though.
