Love forms a circle

• Love starts with two hearts simultaneously connect.

• Day by day, feelings are getting stronger - miss - happiness & sadness - dream - fights - hallucination - possession

• There is always an end. (i.e. family, breaking up)

Love begins… (macho movies)

• The beginning of love comes from great talks?

It takes too much times in macho movies.

Macho movie: Speed

Chick flick: Something’s

Gotta Give

• In macho movies, love unconsciously begins under the tension of gun shots, bombs, beating baddies, survival.

• After the crisis has been solved, male and female leading characters passionately kiss, embrace or have sex.

Love/sex as an outlet (Macho movies)

• Love is demonstrated as a fireworks.

• Sex provides an outlet of tension and physical desire.

Love emerges implicitly (chick flicks)

• In “Something’s Gotta Give,” the two person can’t deny that love unconsciously comes in between.

• He admires her intelligence and humor.

• After several talks, she finds he is not just a playboy.

The Process…

• Being in a relationship requires courage and the preparation of the possibility of getting hurt.

• There are joy, worries, regret, or even heart breaks in a relationship.

Such as: he has a heart attack.

He leaves~

Or…

The End… (conclusion )

• Since audience like happy endings, most macho movies and chick flicks end up with leading characters falling in love.

• However, no concrete terminal is provided.

• Yet, in chick flicks, romance is fulfilled with rising and falling during the process of a relationship. And that’s the reason why chick flicks make us cry.

True or false?
