  • The Romantic Comedies

    720 Words  | 2 Pages

    Since the time of Aristotle, romantic comedies have sought to tell a story about two people, and questions whether or not they would end up together as Billy Mernit (author of Writing the Romantic Comedy)informs. They also make us question what it means to be in a relationship and tell us a little about ourselves. The romantic comedies were extremely popular with moviegoers during its Golden Age of the 1930’s as Daniel M. Kimmel (author of I’ll Have What She’s Having: Behind the Scenes of the Great Romantic Comedies) informs us. The good romantic comedies of this time were referred to as “weepies” or “three hanky pictures (Kimmel). Over time, though, the romantic comedies dwindled to the point where nowadays the romantic comedies seem to be dead (Mernit). Today, the romantic comedy is alive and well, but it goes unrecognized due to it adapting. The appearance of the romantic comedy may have changed, but the key elements have not changed. The key elements of any romantic comedy include two characters who will meet and fall in love with each other, a conflict that will tear the two of them apart, and an ending where love has changed the main characters and they will either accept or deny love such as the events of Philadelphia Story.

    ...blems with these things too. Romantic movies don’t show you the process of getting used to cohabiting, or the strains that having children might put on a relationship. You are always watching the good things, the laughs, the sentimental moments, and the passionate love scenes. Any negativity or bump on the road is just a precursor to the golden reunion. It’s understandable why movie writers don’t choose to put these real life situations in their scripts, really who wants to watch a movie that doesn’t end on a happy note. Unfortunately, there’s not much that can be done about these movies being made because according to one analysis done by Nash (2010), the romantic comedy genre was the sixth highest grossing category of films between 1995 and 2010, pulling in over $10 billion in gross revenue during this 15-year period. Perhaps some enhancements can be made to them.
