Movies Provide Unrealistic Expectations!

Once again, helloooo people :) I have decided to do a very quick post about my experiences with glamorous, over dramatic movies that portray romance, action and drama in such exquisite ways that you become depressed over your own dreary life. I mean, in this day and age, what kind of person expresses their love to you through skywriting or a truck full of roses? Or when will you ever run away in slow motion from a house on fire, about to explode? Or have a love triangle between a prince and rock star? These ridiculous story lines convince our gullible selves that possibly one day, our life could mirror these exact movies. Why are these ridiculous plots set in place? Mostly to make us dream and become frustrated with the family, friends, lovers etc we have now instead of the beautiful and exciting ones we could have on screen. Last night, my friend and I were watching a soppy chick flick called "What's Your Number" and as usual, the quirky and misunderstood girl searching for love ends up with the perfect and ridiculously good looking guy. How is this fair!? Now we are left feeling sorry for ourselves, slightly lonely and annoyed. We have now developed these unrealistic expectations of what love should be like. Life becomes just that little more complicated. 

So I ask you all, why do we continue to watch these movies? In the end, everything is over-exaggerated and glamourised in order to evoke this type of feeling, nothing that happens in a movie is completely realistic. I guess it is a frustrating cycle yet one we all have to endure in order to create some sort of dream world in our head to get by.
