My favorite love movie The Notebook had a great effect in my life. When I first saw it, I had a perspective of a perfect, pure, innocent, and eternal love. I was little and I was always dreaming of the perfect love of my life. As I grew up, things change, I fell in love with the wrong person. Love began to disappoint me, I was so frustrated. My life started to fall apart. Drugs, alcohol, miseries, and abuse were the protagonist of my life. I became a victim of domestic violence, I was living in a co-dependent relationship, and it was a nightmare. I got strong, I began to love myself and change the path of my life. This experiences and stages that some of us pass, make us grow and appreciate life more. Love is not just a beautiful love story. Love begins; with loving God and yourself, so you can love another person and have a healthy and eternal beautiful loving relationship.
I met a boy in my first year of college in Puerto Rico in 2009 and fell deeply in love. I was a very studious person, shy and vulnerable. One day at the beach, I saw this blond, muscular, sexy, sporty, guy. He had the biggest boat on the beach and everyone knew him. My best friend introduced us and we just talked all day and hung out that night. He was one year younger than me

Love shouldn’t hurt. Love is kindness, amiability, and respect. We need to love ourselves and not allow any kind of abuse. God made us for a purpose and that is to be happy and loved. This love story of The Notebook made different effects in my life. What I learned is that we own our life stories and we are the ones who can be changed them. Let’s make good stories. There are experiences or events that can change our life. We need to be able to take the right path to a healthy life. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to find a man makes me and my daughter happy with a healthy and respectfully
Love. What is it? An intense feeling of deep affection. Abuse. What is it? Violent treatment of someone. Now, that we have the correct meaning of the two, do they combine? Well, in many cases, they do, but are not intended to. Connecting a film to a piece of writing gives it a meaning and makes it whole. The connection between the two can be broad, or hard to understand, but will make the idea bigger as a whole. Have you ever read a good story? I mean a really good story? The kind of story that has you where you feel as if your entire life blinked before your eyes? Or the kind of story where it was so good that you want to read it over and over again? Have you ever thought about why that story was as good as it was? The same can occur in a
The movie teaches us to look beyond the cover and into who someone is as a person. We also learn that sometimes contact with people makes us reconsider our judgement towards them, to find out the real person underneath.
What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. It is a story that explores all
Love caused his logic and sensibility to fail him, and provoked him to commit monstrous acts that destroyed many lives. Through analysis of “Happy Endings” by Margaret Atwood, it can be concluded that one of her many intended lessons was to show the value and the powerful effects of love. Atwood successfully proved this lesson by using powerful examples of both successful and disastrous relationships to illustrate the positive and negative effects of love. Atwood truly demonstrated what it is like to follow your heart.
Since the time of Aristotle, romantic comedies have sought to tell a story about two people, and questions whether or not they would end up together as Billy Mernit (author of Writing the Romantic Comedy)informs. They also make us question what it means to be in a relationship and tell us a little about ourselves. The romantic comedies were extremely popular with moviegoers during its Golden Age of the 1930’s as Daniel M. Kimmel (author of I’ll Have What She’s Having: Behind the Scenes of the Great Romantic Comedies) informs us. The good romantic comedies of this time were referred to as “weepies” or “three hanky pictures (Kimmel). Over time, though, the romantic comedies dwindled to the point where nowadays the romantic comedies seem to be dead (Mernit). Today, the romantic comedy is alive and well, but it goes unrecognized due to it adapting. The appearance of the romantic comedy may have changed, but the key elements have not changed. The key elements of any romantic comedy include two characters who will meet and fall in love with each other, a conflict that will tear the two of them apart, and an ending where love has changed the main characters and they will either accept or deny love such as the events of Philadelphia Story.
I spent a lot of time considering what movie I would watch to write this essay. I listed off the movies that I would like to watch again, and then I decided on The Notebook. I didn’t really think I could write about adolescence or children, so I thought that, maybe, I could write about the elderly. The love story that The Notebook tells is truly amazing. I love watching this movie, although I cry every time I watch it. The Notebook is about an elderly man that tells the story of his life with the one he loves the most, his wife. He is telling the story to his wife, who has Alzheimer’s Disease, which is a degenerative disease that affects a person’s memory. She has no recollection of him or their life together, or even her own children. She wrote the story of their love herself, so that when he read the story to her, she would come back to him. There are three things that I would like to discuss about this movie. First, I would like to discuss their stage of life and the theory that I believe describes their stage of life the best. Second, I would like to discuss Alzheimer’s DIsease and its affect on the main character who has it and her family. Third, I would like to discuss how at the end of the movie, they died together. I know it is a movie, but I do know that it is known that elderly people who have been together for a long time, usually die not to far apart from one another.
Love is not simple or easy. The kind of love that will last over time and overcome each obstacle it brings is actually a fair amount of work. In the film Valentine’s Day there are all different kinds of love and some of them thrive while others fail by the end of the day. All these different relationships present an opportunity to analyze how different aspects of communication help people find love and make it last.
The film Endless Love is about the struggle of a first love, the story of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair. The film is a romance and drama theme, which was written in 2013. These characters are out rightly different, they are both classmates who have just graduated from high school. David, who is a smart and sensitive grease-monkey who works in his dad’s auto shop has no plans to go to college, but has an incredible ACT score. Jade, a sheltered rich girl who needs to realize what life has to offer her. David lights her fire that she lost in mourning after the death of her brother. Her brother dying of cancer distracted her from her high school life. Although Jade’s dad is 100% against these two being together, it makes these two love struck teens more determined to prove to him that they crave each other. Desire is an excellent way to describe David’s passion and overwhelming want for Jade.
To begin with, romantic movies mold expectations of what love is really like. They portray that love is the only thing that matters. In the past, love was secondary. Relationships were arranged by parents because they wanted their children to join lands or kingdoms, and whether or not the couple actually loved each other was irrelevant. Today, parents have almost no say in who their children fall in love with. Romance movies over-emphasize love when it comes to “falling in love at first sight” and the idea that “true love conquers all”. I’m sure that almost everyone knows that real-life love doesn’t work like this, but that doesn’t mean that those illustrations of love that movies characterize doesn’t affect viewers’ hope for romance and true love in their own life. For example, after watching The Notebook, viewers might portray Noah’s l...

André and I met about two years ago in Sorbonne University of Paris, I was 21 years old and studied languages and he was 22 years old and studied Journalism. I was late for my class and was in a hurry, I didn’t look where I was going and I accidentally bumped into him, all my books fell just like in the movies, I looked at him, he was very handsome, he had blond hair, eyes of emerald green and a perfect bone structure. I apologized picked up my books and rushed over to my class, I figured it was the last time I will ever see him again, well except maybe on a Calvin Klein underwear campaign but not in person. Fortunately I was wrong, the next day we bumped into each other again in a small coffee near the university, he recognized me, and asked if he could seat with me, I agreed. We immediately clicked, we talked about our courses, teachers, friends and our origin, at first I was a bit hesitant if I should tell him that I was a Jew from Israel because of all the Anti-Semitic people in France, but I was and still am proud of who I am, and so I told him, and I was thrilled when he told me that he was Jewish too. After talking for two whole hours, he noticed that he was late for an appointment, so we exchanged numbers and went each one his different way. Since that day we started seeing each other regularly but only as friends, I fell in love with him very quickly, he was smart, funny, charismatic, good looking and he always made me feel better. The problem was that he...
Love could influence or affect people in positive ways by leading them to a healthier lifestyle and to new experiences. For example, they can change their unhealthy, damaging lifestyle due to a romantic relationship. They can be willing to take risks and attempt to chase things that they would not alone. It could lead them to a jubilant life, knowing they are receiving beneficial love and are transmitting healthy love. Although, love could influence or affect people in negative ways. It could lead them to leave or not accept opportunities that could benefit them in the long run, for a certain person. A so-called “friend” can claim to “love” his “friend”, but would lead him to wicked temptations like drug and alcohol abuse. A friend cannot claim to love their friends if they entice them to negative habits or to leave opportunities behind. How “This Ain’t Love” by Bizzle states it— “This ain’t love” (Bizzle, 2017). True love is leading each other to beneficial things that will mold the people within the relationship. 1 Corinthians 15:33 states, “Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company corrupts good morals’” (New Living
Victor Hugo once said, “The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.” Whether in Shakespeare’s tragic play about lovers doomed by fate, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare’s sonnet describing love, “Sonnet 116”, or O. Henry’s age old The Gift of the Magi, love motivates the characters and authors to make decisions that have a weighty impact on their lives. Throughout these works of literature, authors use love’s power to drive the plot forward to create good events within the characters’ lives. Love is a force for good because it makes people willing to forgive each other, it brings the best out of people in bad situations, and it
Eben Harrell, a writer for Time Magazine, explains in the article entitled “Are Romantic Movies Bad For You?” that many couples being treated in therapy have problems as a result of the “misconceptions about love and romance depicted in Hollywood films” (Harrell 1). “Phillip Hodson, a fellow at the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy, says that while romantic comedies can cause problems for couples once they exit the euphoric first few years of a relationship, they also provide a much needed source of hope and inspiration for the unattached” (Harrell 1). While I do agree that romantic films can provide people with encouragement that there is somewhere in the world for them, I believe Hollywood’s portrayal of love is only acceptable to an extent. People must be careful not to project circumstances or expectations shown in films on their loved
Life experiences shape an individual into the person they are today. It concede a person to grow. Make a more thoughtful and wise decision in order to not repeat the same mistakes they have made in the past. Being in love was a life lesson experience I had learned from. Love happens so unexpectedly that when it does arrive our emotions become unsteady. Happiness, sadness, hurt, and pain are the emotions that derive from love. One 's emotions are expressed as intense, so they would call it; especially when it is first time their time falling in love. Being in love with my guy best friend was the most beautiful and painful experience I have withstood.
