@Petrouska, TheUltimate & sayali_babes: Stop bickering please, you are all mature adults and perfectly capable of handling such small disagreements. It's a small issue, so let's keep it small and move on. Focus on the main point of discussion and accordingly put forth points in support of or against the topic.
Have fun.

Off-topic but does your siggy spell out Harsha in ASL?

ASL is COMPLETELY different and seems so much harder compared to BSL!

My thoughts about movie relatated Jugaads:- Story kuch bi ho..for me Watching movies alone sucks...if there's no one to ask, "What did he/she just say? Who is that guy/girl?"😕

&I love violent movies...esply Tom & Jerry

&I blame movies for some ppls high expectations in relationships..

& Ya...Why is it that in movies when a guy is trying to get a girl who has a boyfriend, the boyfriend is always a cheating a.hol and the other guy is a perfect gentleman. In my experience, the guy trying to steal someone's girl is usually the a.hol. 😆😉

&Ya for eg there's a serial killer in the house!... NORMAL PEOPLE: "Call the police, let's get out of here!" IN MOVIES: "Let's go find him!" ...

&Ya, Bina matlab ,people who investigate strange noises in horror movies deserve to die...&plus that unnecessary music they play in scary movies that is scarier than the actual movie ...🤓 & in the theater,there must have been 200+ people... Most of them were not there to see the movie, but to compete in a popcorn box and chocolate wrapper rustling competition. Others came to cough ...😕

Love is the essence of life. Without love (which then leads to procreation), the world would not continue. Although all other relations are equally important, love stories are most famous because people love to see how love first blossoms between a couple, and how it then grows and develops. The love between a parent-child, sibling-sibling, etc does not start late in life. It is there since birth itself so it is a different kind of love, but the love between a couple is of a totally different sort. It has to start somewhere, and it has to grow and develop in different ways. This sort of love is easy to portray on screen because there are so many possible ways they can show it, not to mention that people are interested in this genre the most. It's not wrong, so I don't get what the problem is.

There are also movies out there about friendship and the bonds between a family, but almost every movie/show does have love or some sort of couple because without couples, there would be no parents, no grandparents, no aunts and uncles, and there no cousins or siblings. There has to be couples in a movie, and though love may not be the prominent theme in it, there will always be some form of it because it is there in real life also. Wherever you go, you will always see couples, people in love, in all age groups, so to leave that out in a movie or show would be impractical and unrealistic.

I believe there should be everything in a story. Love stories with just love and romance would get boring after awhile, but stories that show other relationships without romance would also get boring. If something is a love story, they should also show other relationships of the characters, like with their parents, siblings, cousins, friends, etc...those love stories where the main characters are selfish, think only of themselves, and disregard everyone else in their life annoy me more than ever and I feel like slapping them, but those stories where the family of a main character gives them troubles about their love life, without any good reason, also annoys me. I think there should be a balance in a story. Romance and familial relationship should be given equal importance, and I think most movies do do that...you don't see only romance in movies or shows these days. There are many other plots and tracks with other characters, and there's also a lot of action, sometimes violence, and definitely a lot of conflict. Some have really beautiful messages about sacrifice and doing one's duty towards family, so I think it's all a matter of what one watches. There are all sorts of genre out there, and though most include romance, it's not the only theme in them.

All relationships and bonds are just as important, need just the same amount of nurturing and care. One does not tend to take other relationships for granted but the expectations and anticipation of things to come make a romance stand out.

Importance is laid on the romantic side of relationships and it takes precedence maybe cause most of our relationships, bonds, ties are a given except maybe for friends. There is an element of mystery, excitement or just a surge of adrenaline rush attached to it. It may or may not appeal to the intellectual side of the brain but definitely triggers the emotional switch.

We look out for a romance and lay emphasis on it because we are all dreamers and there is feel good factor attached to it. Sometimes this could also be a source to live those unfulfilled dreams via books or any other media. The quest to find the right partner is emphasized for the simple fact that you could end up seeing that person for the rest of your life and sharing it with them.

A soap, series, movie, book is made wholesome by various characters, the relationship they share and its dynamics. The audience picks out what they enjoy most and focus on it.

Wherever you go, you will always see couples, people in love, in all age groups, so to leave that out in a movie or show would be impractical and unrealistic. That's the whole point. I have never seen any couple "in love" atleast not like how they show in the movies. It seems more like attraction in the begining that makes one starry eyed and all and then the fact that they have shared their lives together makes them kind of fond of each other. But I know more people who just tolerate their spouses. Leaving it out of movies does not seem impracticle at all, because in reality there are a lot of couples who just live together without actually sharing their lives. Infact an over dose of this particular emotion seems to be more impracticle and unrealistic and sometimes even makes a soap/movie/book seem unrealistic and impracticle.
