Romance Movies: Good or Bad

Recently I blogged about The Bachelor, and whether it is a good thing to watch as a young girl. This got me thinking about all romance movies and books. I am a fan of romance novels and movies, but I also know the cons of reading and watching romance books and movies. Many of you may, just like me, love romance novels, and they may be the only type of book you will read, but this may have some bad effects on your future.

The biggest effect being that when you are in a relationship you will expect the perfect romance in the books or movies that you have seen. Because its true those romances in books and movies are perfect, and would never actually be that perfect in real life. Real life relationships take time, and there are ups and downs that make the relationship difficult but that is what a relationship is all about. This leads me to another subject involving romantic books and movies, there is always a happy ending. In real life there isn’t always happy ending, and these books and movies are teaching young girls that happy ending exist. Which sometimes they do but not the extent that the books and movies show.

Many romantic movies are very predictable, and that’s why a lot of romance movie critics don’t like romance movies, but I think that there is always a twist to the ending other than the girl and boy being together in the end. I think that yeah a lot of romance movies are predictable but the happy ending at the end of a book or movie is what we are all looking for in this crazy, messed up world we live in. Sometimes all we need is a happy ending to a book or movie just to make our day, and hope that our in our life we can find a person just like that that we can have an amazing romance with.

Overall I think that romantic movies are predictable, and could lead to miscommunication in many young girls life, but in the end the directors are just trying to produce a movie that all women will love.
