This link provides information on the basic formula for writing a good romantic movie. It goes deeper than just explaining a romantic movie. This website discusses how there are six different lovestyles. One of the six being infatuated love, when only passion is present, another being romantic love when intimacy, commitment and passion are all present. This is typically the style that is written about in movies. When we watch romantic movies we get a sense of what love is supposed to be like, even if never experiencing love for ourselves. The directors try and instill a sense of what love is for everyone, when in reality it varies from person to person."One study, performed on men in India, suggests that married men were more likely to express love for their wives if they had been exposed to movies depicting heroes in love (Derne’, 2000). By identifying with the heroes, the Indian men were able to: (a) break free from the social and parental restraints imposed on them by their culture and (b) feel more comfortable expressing their love for their wives (Derne,’ 2000). " This is an example of how romantic movies can influence our ideas and feelings about love.
