Romantic movies in America


 
By: Autumn Hill
 
            Romantic movies have been around since the invention of movies, and romance has always been an audience favorite. According to amctv.com, “Whether it’s about a long distance relationship or a stranger who walks into the protagonist’s life, anyone can relate to romance.”
Sleepless in Seattle is a modern classic romance and a perfect example of a long distance romance between two people who fall in love with one another. Though they haven’t met, they relate to each other’s struggles. A Walk to Remember portrays a different type of relationship, where the protagonists are totally different from one another yet they fall in love.
Romantic movies have been favored for a very long time. According to imbd.com, one of the top movie websites, romantic movies are exciting because of what the protagonist(s) goes through in the process of trying to get through struggles in life. Whether their love interest(s) gets in the way or disappears for a while, they keep you interested in the story. The website adds, “In the celluloid world of romantic comedies, shy but decent men get the girl, arguments set up sweet reconciliations, and couples separated by tragedy are always reunited through improbable coincidence.”
Romantic comedies normally don’t exactly mirror similar relationships in real life. Maybe that’s why most women love a good romantic movie. Romantic movies are easy to get lost in, because they often portray men who don’t give up too easily on the girl they are with. In the end, romantic movies may make us cry, smile, and sit there with our hopes high for the girl or boy trying to pursue the person of his or her dreams. Romantic movies have always been favored for that reason.
