Re: Why is love such a prevailing theme in EVERY MOVIE

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.
