Fletcher and Megan Stenswick, helps support that claim providing a scientific background on how love is shaped by those different feelings.

One interesting fact that I have noticed deals with the movie When a Man Loves a Woman, the meetings the heroine of the movie is saddened by the fact that she is no longer the same person, she was while she was drinking. She is no longer as much fun, or no longed as interesting as she once was. Many of the people at the "real meeting" expressed the same concern, that the fun life is no longer fun, and they are not the same people as they once were.

When Harry Met Sally is a romantic comedy that breaks out of the norm of the genre with some very real messages about interpersonal communication between both genders and how we handle different situations differently. When Harry met Sally is one of the greatest romantic comedies I’ve watched. Harry and Sally are perfect examples of two people for searching for a companion. In the beginning both are very opposites but in the end Sally and Harry both longed for true love, friendship and security.

In Twelfth Night, Feste asks the “most simple and at the same time most complex of questions,” “What is Love?” (The English Review). Some people believe that love is easy, effortless, and leads to fairytale endings. However, in Twelfth Night, Shakespeare shows the other side of love. Love is not a simple feeling, and it is a confusing emotion which leads to heartbreak, or pure happiness. These two polar opposites are derived from either true or false love. Shakespeare portrays the idea that love is not always easy, and differentiates between false and true love in Twelfth Night.

Second hand embarrassment, awkward one-liners and a main character stumbling on every flat surface he happens to wander across – three incidents repeatedly found in the film Rocket Science from 2007, directed by Jeffrey Blitz. Following the stuttering high schooler Hal Hefner’s (Reece Thompson) search for love through a journey into his school’s debating team, we see him struggling with public speaking as well as falling in love for the first time. What seems to be a clichéd High School film, containing the simple and over-used themes of a lack in confidence and a careful romance, confirming all the expectations the viewers have, continues to be predictable – until the very end where

The movie “Summer of Love” was about the rise and fall of the world of hippies. In January 14,1967 there was a gathering in Gold Gate Park in San Francisco were people came together for the purpose of love and peace.

Most of the people were baby boomers who lived their lives during the assassination of President Kennedy, Civil Rights Movement, and the Vietnam War. All these dramatic moments led people to search a place of love and belonging which they found in Ashbury and Haight.

At the Sundance Film Festival, Beach Rats writer and director Eliza Hittman told a polarized and divided audience, "I'm interested in taboos as a filmmaker." With her second feature film, following 2013's It Felt Like Love, she locks our attention upon Frankie (Harris Dickinson), a 19-year-old boy, living at home, and trying to sort through a lot of difficult emotions in a rather chaotic personal life.

Filmed over the course of 12 years, Richard Linklater cast Ellar Coltrane as Mason as we follow his growth and childhood experience as he learns about life and himself. It sounds like an incredible idea and Linklater does deserve approbation for taking this approach, but 'Boyhood' fails to work as a character study. In fact, 'Boyhood' really does not have much to say besides "life goes by fast".
