romantic films

You can make romance film out of anything. Just put two good looking people together. One is a crackhead. The other a cop. One is a pimp. The other senator. It is endless. One is a lonely bagger. The other a homeless car washer. Romance films are just too easy. I saw one last night called Gigantic. Some 28 year old male wants to adapt a Chinese baby. He falls for rich spoiled daddy's girl. He gets baby. She freaks out. And we wonder why? Because he wants to adapt a Chinese baby. I understand why she freaks out. I have seen a lot of crazy art films. But that one is original. And it is hard to be original in today's market place. Romance films got to be some of the easiest films to make. She is a tobacco farm worker. He is a MLB pitcher wondering why his chewing tobacco changed flavours. So he makes a trip to the tobacco fields in North Carolina. Where she is lonely immigrant. Who barely speaks English. He finds her and asks her about the tobacco. She can't answer him. He decides to learn Spanish from his Cuban defecter pitching teammate. Then they fall in love.
