The elements of passion, love, fantasies, romance, happy endings, lewdness, excitement, lovemaking, and other topics associated with these themes are portrayed in romantic books and films.
It is undeniable that romantic works of fiction and films have the power to inspire individuals to act out their imaginations, whether they do so on purpose or not. It has an impact on relationships, both positively and negatively, depending on how you look at it.
People are led to believe that the process of falling in love is one that is uncomplicated, exciting, and stress-free, and that it always links two dissimilar people merely at first sight, as portrayed in romance novels and romantic movies.
In all seriousness, I anticipated that I would experience love at first sight and anticipated that it would happen precisely like it did in the movie Titanic with Jack and Rose, which I had read about and seen.
On the other hand, I am well aware that the way events play out in real life are rarely like those shown in books and films, and that exciting conclusions are sometimes misleading. Both partners in a married couple need to have a strong desire to honour the commitment they have made to one another in order for the relationship to be considered honourable and for things to work out well.
Despite what the vast majority of films portray, not all romantic relationships result in a happy ending.
Dwelling on the images that are presented in romantic movies and books can lead to the development of unrealistic expectations in a relationship. For example, a person may come to believe that their partner or spouse should be able to intuitively understand their suffering and be aware of it even if they do not need to express it. In real life, it is impractical to expect people to be able to interpret the body language and facial emotions of their romantic partners in the same way that they do in movies and books. This is especially true for men, who typically take the lead in heterosexual relationships.
Expecting our partners to adore, put up with, and fully comprehend us is a romantic notion, but it is an impractical one. This results in unhappiness as well as a significant sense of letdown, especially when we weigh our partners on the same scale used for romantic movies and books.
The majority of people, as a result of seeing romantic movies, become emotionally linked to their romantic ideals as portrayed in these movies and books. While this is not necessarily a negative thing, it can become troublesome when the movies promote love as the only thing that can help us heal.
I am feel obligated to say that movies with romantic themes have, without a doubt, educated us on a few things about love. I also make an effort, on occasion, to imitate particular movie scenes in an effort to strengthen relationships, add some flavour to the situation, and foster a deeper understanding and camaraderie.
As an adult, I've used them as ways to express my emotions or as quotes to convey my affection for others. On occasion, I find myself wishing that life could have been more like these sequences, where everything works out perfectly.
It can be difficult to conceptualize a real-life individual who lives up to the expectations that are placed on fictional characters and the beings they inhabit. Additionally, it has the potential to end relationships because partners work so hard to imitate and fulfill the expectations set by fictional characters while simultaneously pushing themselves to their utmost capacity. Sometimes the standards that are established are not even what we want, but we decide to copy them and make something that is impossible into a practical option.
The fact that we regularly consume media raises the possibility that these erroneous expectations will have a negative and long-lasting effect on the relationships we have. Nobody ever has a happily ever after, at least not in this world and certainly not for the time being. You can't always have everything you want, and the same holds true for happiness. Sometimes you have a lot of it, other times you have very few of it, and other times you have none at all.
Romantic movies are fascinating and delightful to watch, but they rarely portray real-life scenarios because, let's face it, it's tough to recreate the experience of living with a partner for years in just a couple of hours (or approximately). Therefore, keep yourself entertained with them if they are your thing, but continue reining in your expectations towards real life.
