“A romantic film is a love story recorded in visual media for broadcast in theaters and on TV. It focuses on passion, emotion, as well as the affectionate, romantic involvement of the main characters. It shows their journey that’s genuinely strong and true along with where the pure romantic love will take them through dating” (Dictionary). Romantic films tell the story of two unlikely characters who meet and fall in love. As the films continue, the characters are torn apart, and soon come to the realization of how much they truly love each other as they search for a way to get back together. The Last Song (2010) is a film that shows the struggle of two young teens that fall in love but are split apart when tragedy hits them.
On September 1, 2009, Nicholas Sparks released his fourteenth book, The Last Song which is about a young girl named Ronnie Miller, who spends the summer with her father at Wrightsville Beach, where he’s been living the past few years. In the beginning of the movie, she’s a rebellious seventeen-year-old girl, but soon changes her ways when she meets the boy of her dreams, Will Blakelee, who is played by Liam Hemsworth (Goodreads). According to Nicholas Sparks, he came up with the idea of his book from his past book. He’s always written about the tragedy in life and love at first sight, what he hasn’t done is taken that love and used it with teens around the age of seventeen. Sparks said, “Usually after those words pop into my head, I move into a
“The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T.S. Eliot is a poem unlike any I have ever read before. The poem starts off with the speaker taking what seems to be a potential lover along for a walk. The speaker first describes their surroundings and says that “the evening is spread out against the sky like a patient etherized upon a table” and that “the streets follow like a tedious argument”. The sky is described as someone who has been anesthetized, someone who can’t feel anything. The streets are like an argument, something that can tear two people apart. The similes used make the setting seem dark and dreary. The speaker then brings up that he has a question he wishes to
It is based on a young teenage girl and a popular teenage boy who both start of their relationship as a good friend and then gradually discovering their love for each other. This music video I have chosen follows a particular theorist known as David Trottier. He states that not all narrative start off with a backstory but will ‘start out in balance’. This can be seen in the over the shoulder shot and in the point of view angle where the two teenagaers talk to each other wih written signs, which presents a relationship of them two. Trottier’s idea of the ‘catalyst upsetting the balance’ due to ‘giving the central character a desire’ which can be identified in a close up shot where it shows the emotions of the characters as well as it reflects the intense feeling of desire and love the female character has for the male character.
Romantic love is the easiest love to identify with. It’s a relationship between two unrelated people that have an intimate connection comprised of different elements. Romantic love is made up of trust, time, communication, sacrifice and all these things require work and
The beautiful silent film released in 1927, ‘Sunrise: a Song of Two Humans,’ is directed by the famous German director, F.W. Murnau, and is starred by George O’Brien and Janet Gaynor who take the main characters as the Man and the Wife respectively. It is a story of married couples that have conflicts over the husband’s immoral actions, but however, they become reconciled through their journey in the City. Apart from love, another underlying theme of this film is the experience of human with modernity. Similar to ‘Sunrise,’ ‘The Notebook,’ the all-time famous love novel written by Nicholas Sparks, is adapted into a film by Nick Cassavetes, and is starred by Hollywood popular actress and actor, Rachael McAdams and Ryan Gosling

A month ago, while gardening my backyard, I found a clever four leaf, which is a symbol of luck. I usually do not believe in anecdotes that if whoever finds the leaf, they are lucky. However, right at the moment I found the leaf, I felt there was an unknown power of the leaf that made me consider it. After that, sitting down on a chair in my room with a silence, I questioned myself what was the real meaning of the luck in this life, who can define who are luckier than others...Most people are satisfied what they have without trying to achieve what they want. Beside, some people do not ever feel happy which what they have and always put entirely effort to accomplish what they want. Or people they are fighting in a struggle themselves to find the real

Has anyone heard the phrase “crazy in love”? Although some might say there is no truth in it, Kurt Vonnegut’s “EPICAC” provides an example of the emotion’s stronghold. Love is not only an emotion of the heart, but an emotion that can overpower the brain. The physiological and emotional influence can elicit irrational thoughts and behaviors of humans. One of Vonnegut’s themes is that love makes people do crazy things; sometimes to the extreme.
For this essay I will be unraveling two poems to find a deeper meaning from The Norton Anthology of World Literature, Volume B. The two poems are “A Lover’s Prize” by Beatrice of Dia and “The Wound of Love” written by Heinrich von Morungen. Heinrich and Beatrice are considered to be medieval lyric poets; however, Beatrice was a medieval lyric poet from France and they are known as troubadour. Beatrice just so happened to be apart of southern France’s trobairitz which was just a tribute to some of the best troubadour of their time. She was married to the Count of Viennois, Guilhem de Poitiers but she was having an affair with another troubadour who went by the name Raimbaut d’Orange and their poetic style was quite similar. However, when it comes to Heinrich von Morungen not much is known about him. From the little we know about Heinrich, we find that, his style of writing fit into the category of Minnesang which means “songs of love”. His lyrics (that have survived) are also some of the greatest in early German history. Nonetheless, these writers have both put forth some impressive work.
Generally, authors compose books that go along with the morals of the audience. So many stories are written today with the typical love story, girl falls in love with guy or vice versa. Others are action packed with a climax and a predictable ending. Victor Hugo took a different stance while writing his book Les Miserables. Hugo's idea of action is presented through Jean Valjean who is held in prison for four years because he stole a loaf of bread. He includes unique love stories unlike the typical ones that we read about. Hugo's main purpose is to challenge people to consider their morals on forgiveness and love.
In the poem, The Love song, written by T.S. Elliot, J Alfred Prufrock is a man who is very lonely and insecure. He goes throughout his life wishing for a change, but never stepping up to the plate and actually making a change. The title of the poem portrays to the reader that the poem is going to be full of love and romance. The reader soon found out later that the poem is just the opposite from the title, a sad, lonesome man who is not only lacking love, but also lacking self confidence and self esteem.
Romantic Comedy has been around for many generations enticing the public with ideas of love and romance in a humorous way. According to Dictionary.com Romantic Comedy is defined as, “a movie or play that deals with love in a light, humorous way.” For all romantic comedies to make this happen, they follow three simple rules. Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back. As Brian Finnigan from The Five Golden Rules of Romantic Comedy says, “Different but the same, He wants She Wants, turmoil, and learning curves”. Although these technical terms are different, they mean the same thing. Today that may look a little different but this is a staple part of romantic comedy that makes it different
