My Philosophy on Love

As an individual who has written a lot {well, not that much} of stories about and movies, and novels about love, I know a thing or two about the subject. I'm not an expert. I just know enough to get by. I don't think I've ever fallen in love but I do have some sort of feelings for boys before. But here's something I thought up;

You know those movies/ novels where you see the boy and girl fall in love and they're together and survive the odds and conflict? Well, what happens to them? I mean, like, after the movie. When we don't see anything after the credits or the pages.

I recently watched a movie called "Prime", a movie about a woman who is older than her boyfriend. She goes to her therapist {who is the woman's boyfriend's mother} and in the end, they break up, get together and right when the movie finishes and a year has past, they break up and stay broken up. These two people claim that they love each other and they went trough the conflict and then gotten together again, so why oh why, did they break up? I found that it was more realistic that they did.

Another movie I watched was called "Elizabethtown", a movie where a man who has single- handedly run his company into the ground and when he is about to commit suicide, fate intervenes and he goes to his recently late father's hometown to pick up the body of his father. The man meets a woman who is very eccentric and they fall in love. As I was watching the roadtrip scenes near the end, I realized that - what the hell, this is a special thing that couples do, if they break up, they're SCREWED. So, the movie ends with the two of them hugging. What would happen next? Are they a stable enough of a couple to get married? Would they break up?

I always wonder these sort of things when I write stories or when I watch a movie. I recently just saw the movie version of "Pride and Prejudice" {Loved it, BTW} and found it a bit strange that Lizzie fell in love with Mr Darcy so quickly. But, then again, I am a Dramione shipper and the concept shouldn't be so sudden to me >_<. But in "Pride and Prejudice", Darcy and Lizzie get married but they don't show much of married life, do they?

The only movie I can think up of when the couple in question is truly revealed and whatnot, is probably- okay here it is, get ready - Shrek. Yup... SHREK. TEH OGRE.

I shall add more on the subject in the near future. Like adultery and what not {that means you're next, "Notes on a Scandel"!}.
