I am a huge Sap when it comes to romantic movies. I am that one to just go AWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! at any given moment. That is a very feminine characteristic of me and its kind of ironic since i am a feminist and that feminism is stereotypically anti feminine. What i love, and hate about romantic movies is that we (as in a percentage of women) wish that we were all in the position of the girl with the dashingly handsome man falling head over heels for the beautiful woman. But at the same time, romance does not come at a drop of a hat, it takes time to build a relationship and not, like in the case of letters to Juliette, three days and then one visit later. Society teaches us that love can come at any moment and that it will only come to the most beautiful and smart. is that sending the correct message? Even though letters to Juliette is geared towards older teens and twenty-somethings, this movie, and various others crush our expectations of these knights in shining armor and that they will come for us one day. In fact many people never live to find their true love. I personally hope i do, someday, and maybe i have, maybe i haven't...who really knows? but if my "prince" never comes, ehhh i can deal with being single...who needs marrying into royalty, they are all so scandalous, like the kennedys. maybe the "prince" could be someone regular, money doesn't buy love or happiness.
