Love is full of cruelties, each corner you turn leads to countless endless roads of possibilities. Some good and some bad. One path could lead you to a house in the Hamptons, or could have you in a custody battle and dealing with alimony.
As a teenage girl, and through my younger infant days, since the age of three. Ive idolized the male sex.
Their charm, appearance, the clothes they wear, the scent they carry. Crush's, love and heartbreak. I have experienced the ups and downs in this risky business of the heart.
Movies, as we also know, are a huge participant in advertising.
Broadcasting anything to it's viewers. Hair styles, clothing trends, the ideal car, and even Starbucks coffee.
But also, most importantly. Love.
From the disney fairy tales we have come to adore, to box office blowers (The Notebook, Shrek, Pretty Woman).
They have fabricated our illusion of love, set our standards to the extreme.
That our prince will come galloping on his horse, save us during out time of need.
And he will just so happen to be amazingly good looking, a perfect gentleman, good fortune,
no mental, emotional or physical problems, understands you, and just so happens to want you.
Life rarely results in such a way.
Ariel and the Little Mermaid,
Ariel found and married her prince charming. Eric was a dream come true in the eyes of hundreds of little girls, feasting their eyes at his wonder.
But all we know, is that they were married, had a daughter, and life supposedly turned our just ducky. But what if, Eric turned into a sick workaholic lunatic who needed extra loving from his secretary?
What if Cinderella had to many mental and emotional problems from her years of abuse that the charming, glass slipper searching, Prince, just could not handle? What if he just began to fall out of love with her? She was not the girl he thought she should be.
What if snow white's daring and dashing man turned out to be gay? And he just picked the most charming person he could find. Maybe he chose her because she had the same loving features his mother had? What if he refused to touch her in years?
What if snow white felt so angry one night, she resulted to murder?
Even the modern day movies,
Pretty woman. When you base the story line, Richard Geere is actually a very grotesque man.
He is paying for a hooker to have sexual intercourse with. And then happens to fall in love, after the coarse of a week.
The after math, the big picture, that is what is important.
It has brainwashed our society. Expecting more.
Edward Cullen, is a prime example of a man far above expectations.
I have come to gather, that the Twilight series novels, would not nearly even be popular
if Edward was not a desirable character. He makes you want him.
A real true love relationship, can not happen in two days. That is not love.
If someone is to perfect, they could be trying to be your perfect person, molding themselves to what you want. But for the wrong reasons. Your relationship would be a lie.
Even most beautiful of faces have a downfall. Do not try to make your standards so high, no man or woman can reach them. You will never find happiness, because you wont be able to let yourself be happy.
When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.
'We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly'

I believe in "Pretty Woman" he does pay a hooker to Escort him. I dont believe I saw them having intercourse in the movie and also the fact is he was a gentleman and maybe in fact was trying to help the hooker out by showing that she doesnt have to sell herself to live the life of a rich person. Not to mention she goes on shopping sprees with his money with his permission so that she smartens up her looks and doesnt look hookery anymore.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Im not saying about the movie, im saying the concept.
ReplyDeleteThe big picture on it, yes in the end he is doing her a favour of giving her the option of a better life. But I dont think that those set of circumstances should spark the aspirations on how to meet your true love.
