Things Hollywood Teaches Us About Love

With Covid taking a second pass at most parts of the world and still roaring in the United States, we’re seeing loads of people getting stuck in lockdown again. And since we’re stuck with all that time to watch movies and think of the loved ones we can’t be with, how about we combine those two things?

Let’s take a look at some of the things that Hollywood teaches us about love. Or at least, the things Hollywood tries to teach us.

Love Conquers All

Remember that one movie where the guy couldn’t be with the girl because of reasons but he loved her just hard enough for the reasons to miraculously disappear? Yeah. It’s been used so many times in Hollywood movies, it’s basically the Wilhelm scream of romcoms.

Music Makes Everything Better

La La Land, Grease, … There’s no better way to show your love and appreciation for someone than laughing, dancing and singing. And no matter which conversation pops up, it’s never weird to randomly burst out into song. I swear, it isn’t!

Casual Girls Are Better Than The Hot Chick

This is a lesson we’ve learnt from romantic teen comedies in the vein of She’s All That or Mean Girls. If you’re hot and/or blonde, you’re going to be an insanely bad person. It’s the casual, silent type that’s somehow the girl everyone wants at the end of the movie. It’s not exactly realistic since there’ll always be jocks that can’t get over looks, but at least it has a nice message. I guess. Too bad jocks don’t … watch … rom coms? Wait a minute, who are these movies trying to give a message here?
