So the other day, I was watching twilight for like the tenth time.
And
that is a sentence that I never thought I'd ever
say but, I- what can I say Twilight's my guilty pleasure
Okay? I like to watch Twilight and make fun of it with my friends.
It's actually really fun. Um, you should try it.
Sometimes...
Anyway,
I particularly like the scene when Bella walks in the biology classroom, and the fan is blowing
and Edward looks like he just smelled the nastiest dump of his life.
And then the two just stare at each other
really awkwardly .
For a while.
I just- it's just an amazing scene.
I was watching this film, it's just reminding me that period back in 2010,
When you had this whole "team Jacob" "Ooh team Edward" craze.
When these little teenager girls were swooning and declaring they wanted Robert Pattinson's children,
and it was just very disturbing period of time.
In the Twilight movie, not only is there a scene where she is just walking along the alleyway
and he says: "Yeah, I was following you around."
Casual.
There is a scene where he actively breaks into her room
and watches her sleep and he says that he has been doing this
just "for the past couple of months."
And they say romance is dead.
And this got me thinking about all those things that we think are romantic,
that they show us in movies, but actually
they are bit creepy in real life.
Romeo, Oh Romeo,
why are you trying to slide into all these DMs,
Romeo?
For me, personally, Romeo is bit of a fickle and changeable character.
I mean, one minute he says:
"Ha, I'm so in love with Rosaline ."
But the next minute he turns up, you know,
at a lit banging party, and he sees a 10/10
walking and he suddenly
Whoa
I was
with Juliet.
And it's like,
boi...
Romeo and Juliet is a story of rebellion, of violence and passion.
But, is it really the greatest romance of all times?
I mean, I beg to differ.
I don't personally find their suicide a grand romantic gesture.
I think, it's more exposing the tragic irony of excessive emotions.
If Juliet, in the real world, in our modern context, she'd be like in year eight
and she met this guy at a party, like three days ago
and she's like, screw you mom and dad.
You don't know what love is!
And it's just a little bit strange, because she's so young, that if this happened
in this day and age, we'd- honestly we'd just roll our eyes and be like
yo just go sit down and drink some milk, alright you still got a lot of growing up to do, you haven't hit puberty yet
what do you know?
So number two is something that really annoys me,
and this is the whole cheating romance plot.
We have an individual they already have an established partner,
but then, this guy cheats on this partner
when they realise how someone else is
the one for them.
Oh my God, the one true love!
They always try justify, these cheating
with the original partner by
calling the original partner so catty, you know, isn't she the rude?
But that's beside the point, like, I think there just something so
inherently cruel and selfish,
about breaking that bond, and that trust
that you had with your original partner.
Like, especially if it's a close relationship,
and then going away and disrespecting that.
Like, that's not romantic.
The Notebook,
Oh my God Ryan Gosling,
Ryan Gosling
The way he asks her out on a date it's
the- one of the biggest red flags,
right off the bat.
He threatens to kill himself, if she won't go out with him.
That's not cute,
that's horrifying,
and that's completely unstable.
The scene, where they're on a date,
and they're lying down in the middle of the road,
and she asks "Oh but what if a car comes?"
and he says
"We die"
When will you and bae ever ,
am i right?

Fourth thing that movies tell us it's romantic,
but isn't actually,
guy crashing the wedding.
I understand why people think this is romantic gesture,
because it's such grand movement,
like, right at the cusp there's a lot of tension,
and it's where the man and the woman realises
Ooh she's actually meant to be with this one.
But in reality, it's just a really douchebag move,
isn't it?
Not only have this couple spent months
and possibly even years,
getting to know each other,
setting it up,you know,
inviting all their friends, their families,
paying a lot of money for the wedding,
girl,
weddings are expensive.
And now you gonna come along and say
"Hi guys, remember me,
ahm, yeah, insert romantic speech here,
about how I've always loved you and I've just noticed until now,
and how I'm coming here last minute,to try and like,
sabotage your wedding,
pick me girl, i'm the one for you!"
After you guy crashed the wedding and woman turns
"Ha, bye Bill ain't gonna marry you
gonna marry this guy instead!"
What happened after that?
So they run away and
and then what?
That's completely awkward in front of all your friends, all your family,
and what about the poor guy, Bill, who thought he was gonna marry the love of his life?
It's just incredible... it's just so...
it's just... it's just...
I just... I, Mmmh
that's just not romantic.
And number five it's the movie Grease.
Not only did Sandy completely changed herself to be with
a guy, and be more attractive,
which ladies and gentleman, that's a big no-no, you don't ever change who you are as person just to be more
attractive to someone, okay?Life lessons from Divya, if you take anything from this video
you'll find the way you're, and gonna get someone to accept you the way you're
The lyrics to Summer loving
*Summer Nights*
Did she put up a fight? What do you mean?
That sounds a little bit like assault, like harassment.
So tell me your opinions, do you think these things are actually romantic?
I don't know what others rom-com things you see in movies or books that you kind don't like,
'Cuz
Rom-coms they're fine
but
they also have their issues.
I think , like, as you're older you know
okay that's little bit creepy.
But I think is most important for like,
younger audiences, who may not be so aware as to, you know,
what's creepy and what's romantic,
what're red signs and what's fine.
