Romantic movies May Just Be a Fairytale
Most often it seems the authors of romantic movies and novels already know the expectations of their viewers or readers and they reach out to fulfill those expectations. In the beginning, they create a romantic scene and visualize roses dropping from the sky and how the static clouds give a color of red making the atmosphere perfect for the moment. In the end there is always the resolution of a happy or sad ending. It's not so with the real world, there are no roses, no blue or red skies,just young people with differing personalities who are bent on giving the other person hell on earth if they're not compatible.
I believe in love, at a point in my life I have felt the butterflies happily flapping their wings in my belly, it felt like the world revolved around us but the resolution in the real world doesn't happen as quickly as the one in movies, the storm came and shattered what we've built in years. It's unfortunate how romantic movies had enclosed love to fit their imagination of a fairytale (the happy ending). It portrays the power of it but fails to identify the other forces in the real world that tamper with our imaginary scenes.
Novels and romantic movies portray love to be all blissful and perfect and these set people's up for disappointment. It always portrays love in a certain manner that misleads people to see love in that direction, whatever doesn't look like it makes them believe it isn't love. Sometimes, most romantic movies are ideologies of the author, he pictures love and sells it out to the viewers who starts to incubate it and gradually it becomes his reality. No doubt, all the fairytales on display should be the standard for love but life has its vicissitudes that makes people focus on other areas of life and give little attention to love itself.
I have seen ladies who compare their relationship with a character in a love movie they've watched. They want their lover to live the life of that character and try to mud him into someone different. It's Okay to incorporate a few things we see from romantic movies as part of it speaks about real life events but it becomes evil if one partner expects the other partner to live like what she had accepted as love. Such a mindset hinders the diversification of love and only trivializes the sincerity of one's way of expressing love. Romantic movies May not be a fairytale if only diversification is accepted

What if I told you that a lot of Nigerian ladies actually are guilty of this.
They even go the extent of making stick I watch the movie and learn.
It's not like an addiction which makes them deluded to think that everyone has to play according to their worldview.
It's a disease.
Hahaha. I just hope this disease wouldn't become cancerous. But it's a pity to think acting and reality should be compared
My brother.. the sad truth may dawn at a later time.
Well. You can't blame them😂 women are emotional beings and they look for comfort in everything.
Life has it's own rules, and we that are living have to play by it. Whether we want to or not. Fiction on the other hand, does not have that limitation.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
That's true, fiction and reality are two different components
Romantic movies are just for entertainment. It's sad that many people especially women, take it literally.
That's true, unfortunately it speaks to them differently
