10 Romantic Film Relationships That Definitely Wouldn't Last
You'd Better Shape Up, Cause This Will Be Short...
Romance in movies is all about chemistry, the sexual tension between two unfairly attractive humans. It usually isn't, however, about the realism. Screenwriters sometimes seem like they have a connect the dots mentally when it comes to on-screen relationships, where they need to get from point A to point B to point C, but it doesn't really matter how it happens. Or if it is even remotely believable. In the movies, the couple always manages to find their way back to one another in the third act, where theyll live happily ever after. But most of the time, you know its not going to last. Are they compatible at all, or were they just haphazardly thrown together to pander to the audiences? There's a sense that if the characters can make it to the very end of the film still together, that's all that matters. But we can't help but wonder what happens to them after the credits role. Inevitably, the issues that are casually swept under the rug for the movie's run time are going to rear their ugly heads again, and that wonderful sexy romantic couple is going to self-destruct in spectacular fashion. Six months down the line, theyre just going to be a pair of bitter exes, and we all know it.
