The 20th century saw a shift in dance as new forms were created and artists began entertaining audiences in new ways. The rise of Jazz music and the swing era allowed a couple of tap dancers, commonly known as the Nicholas Brothers, to gain fame.

The movie includes a lot of plot twists and that’s what makes this drama movie so thrilling. No one ever knows what is next and it is not easily predictable. Secondly, it allows viewers to experience a thrill ride and fall in love. Safe Haven separates itself from other movies by allowing audiences to relate to the relationship/romance occurring in the movie and the challenges that the duo face. “Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys.” Sometimes women struggle to find the love they dream of and when they finally experience the feeling of truly being loved it is extraordinary and breathtaking. “For them, it was nothing but an ordinary day on an ordinary day on an ordinary weekend, but for her, there was something revelatory about the notion that wonderful moments like these existed.” She had never experienced a man truly loving her before. Everyone has things that they would rather hide than tell the one they love about because some things are too shameful to tell. “That was the dirty secret associated with her past. Not that she’d been abused but that somehow she felt that she deserved it because she’d let it happen. Even now, it shamed her, and there were times when she felt hideously ugly, as though the scars that had
