Why is love such a prevailing theme in EVERY MOVIE

it bores me, the emotion doesn't exist. people who describe love use other verbs to describe it... it's the most vague word on the planet, yet every woman thinks the ultimate point of life is love.


i'm almost thinking about canceling this date just because all these movie trailors are just god awful

You think it's just movies? How many songs have you heard that weren't about love in one way or another? I can't think of many. How many books have you read that don't have underlying love stories?

But I agree, it gets boring after awhile. Some love stories/songs/books are really really well done, but like 99% of it is generic crap done just to appeal to teenage girls.

Do you mean it doesn't exist because we've all become desensitised to it or do you really think love doesnt exist at all?

Teenage girls like love themes, but as they are only a small portoin of audiences, there must be other reasons. It's an easy emotion for an audience to identify with and for directors etc to write about, as love stories have been tried and tested for hundereds of years. In some movies, love is used to soften a harsher major theme to the movie (e.g. the day after tomorrow). You could be right that canned love stories are there to appeal to the female half of the audience (particularly soap opera-watching maternal types). I find that sadly plausible.

Love aside, it's fairly common for words/concepts to start off good then become tied up with marketing, when the true meaning of the word becomes buried under logos and commercialisation.

Every woman? Sorry, I'm a woman, and I don't think that. But, I don't think it doesn't exist. What's the point of going on a date if you're not doing it in hopes of eventually ending up with someone you can care for and love? Might as well just skip the date. You must be one miserable and lonely guy. Sucks to be you man.

I think he meant that after a while you just don't feel the characters emotions toward eachother

mr brownstone is another term for heroin and the song is about getting high

but anyway

A U.S. Army Major General John H. Stanford once told his men...

"The secret to success is to stay in love. Staying in love gives you the fire to really ignite other people, to have a greater desire to get things done than other people. A person who is not in love doesn't really feel the kind of excitement that helps him or her to get ahead and lead others and to achieve. I don't know any other fire, any other thing in life that is more exhilarating and is more positive a feeling than love."

look how arbitrary the word can mean... in it's simplest form:


i love my wife with every breathe i take



i love my little brother like the dad he never had



how can that same word describe two COMPLETLY different emotions. the word is pointless, it makes no sense but is so vague everyone thinks it fits.

Held in different conexts it can mean several different things. You can say you like someone, and that you like your new car. Those are two different meanings towards the word like, is it not? It's a universal word, but the fine definition of it depends on the context that you happen to be using it in. There are several words in the English vocabulary that are universal and can be used in many different situations. So what are you suggesting? That we throw out the English language because you can't decipher the meanings behind the different contexts the word is used in?
