Why I chose this as my reference film

Me before you is a romantic tragic movie which perfectly follows the typical conventions of a romantic tragedy genre and as my genre is romantic tragedy too I will be using this movie as my reference. Me before you does not follow the conventional romantic genre ending as the the couple does not unite and I myself want to go against the stereotype of the romantic movies which have happy endings.

Why I chose this as my reference movie

As my genre is romantic tragedy I chose Love Rosie because it perfectly shows the problems best friends face because of being in love. With a lot of plot twists and ups and down, love Rosie compliments the typical conventions of a romantic movie. As I even want to show teenage love problems I can relate a lot to love Rosie as in this movie it tells us how Sometimes, the right love comes at the wrong time and They just can't get themselves together which end up with a lot of complications.
