What is love? What qualities must a person have in order to fall in love, and what characterizes a real feeling? Anyone looking for answers to these questions throughout his life.
Even when people find the second half, this question does not leave them, especially women who tend to always try to improve the situation of their young man or husband. But in the cinema, everything is much simpler. For a half hour before the eyes of the viewer, the hero finds the very lady of the heart whom he is going to be betrayed for the rest of his life. There are not so many criteria that determine who will go beyond the horizon, although they can be constantly changing and the main factors can still be identified.
Who is worthy of love? If you do not have specific features (superpower), psychological or material problems - you will not find true love and will not appear on the movie screen. If the hero is a man, and there are much more of them in the world cinema, then he is most likely: either a handsome womanizer or an impenetrable nerd. Well, there is always a problem, without it, it would not be interesting to watch a movie, and the most pressing problems for today are internal conflicts and the presence of characteristic features that must be overcome in order to become happy.
The most serious human problem today is complexity, it can be a character trait, as is the case with the heroes of the films Too Cool for You, 7 Days and Nights with Marilyn, Reader, Zaitsev + 1, Ruby Sparks or acquired. That is, some features of the external environment affect the character’s character, and he is embarrassed in a particular situation when EE or someone else “Meet the Fockers”, “Notting Hill”, “Young Victoria”, and “America’s Favorites” appear"
If the main character is a handsome man, and there are much more films about such heroes, then he certainly needs to sit still, calm his libido and stay with one single girl, and most often not so beautiful, but giving him a powerful rebuff. He will not fall in love with one of his super models or a rich beautiful lady earning millions and spending hundreds of thousands on her appearance, give him a librarian, a fallen prostitute or a fat woman with unshaven legs! There are an incredible number of examples of such paintings: “Womanizer”, “Handsome”, “Ghosts of Former Girlfriends”, “Briolin”, “Removal Rules: Hitch Method”, “Naked Truth”, “Libertine” and even “Gone with the Wind”. The very same for a macho man is likely to be some kind of naughty girl than Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman or Vera Brezhnev.
Well, the last hero who is simply doomed to find that one and only love of his life - superman and all heroes with super abilities (including intellectual genius), even if they can’t fall in love, they will definitely do it by the end of the film. Twilight, Spider-Man, Batman, Monsters on Vacation, Megamind, V for Vendetta, Harry Potter, Teleport. The only exception is adult (or old) wizards. Being such love you will never find (Dumbledore, Gandalf, “Sorcerer's Apprentice”). However, if you are not an old wizard, then the chances of love are: “Love. Instructions for use.”
That is, roughly speaking, in order to find true love, cinema teaches us to reconsider our lives, get rid of complexes or completely change (without fail) or save the world (be in the process of salvation).
If the protagonist is a woman, she, too, can be notorious (Bella from Twilight, 10 reasons for my hatred "), a beautiful womanizer (" A very bad teacher ", " Pleasantville "), or a super-woman (" Brave pepper, "Woman cat) although there are fewer. In order to find love as a woman, it is easiest to completely abandon her: “To hell with love”, “How to get rid of a guy in 10 days”. Or the second option, to find a notorious, macho-handsome or superman and either change him or seek. But remember, a man will become yours only at that moment when you spit on this whole thing!
The most important feature of all films about love is unreality. In real life, outside the cinema world, such unions are almost impossible. The beauty falls in love with the nerd and changes him, the horror story falls in love with the macho and also changes him, you just find a vampire, a ghoul, a liquan or another superman - they are simply born for love! The most important thing in any case is to go through all the difficulties together. You noticed that no matter how strange the protagonist is, his girlfriend rarely abandons him. Even if they met an hour ago, and now it turns out that he is a serial maniac, a pervert, or 100, 000 people with machine guns are chasing him. Love in the cinema is a flash, all-consuming, all-encompassing, forcing you to change and go to strange things that require incredible dedication, such as in the "Memory Diary" or "Long Engagement".
