In this 21st century, romantic novels and movies are the ones who are painting relationships all white and i can't blame the movies and novel makers as they are also just trying to sell their work while trying to give people the impression that love is beautiful every time...
Love is not always beautiful, it true but not always true, there are some bitter love in the true aspect of life but most people have decided to go along with the romantic movies and novels as most of it ends on good note...
Thus, they are blinded to the real truth behind those beautiful love that is always ending well...
Romantic movies and novels is now the backbone of the young teenagers in love nowadays and it is partially painting the wrong picture for them and therefore giving them false hopes on the reality of life..
The feeling of being loved or in love is just so great and beautiful that some people are ready to give up everything they have worked very hard for all just for that feeling and i see no crime in that if that is his/her choice....
If it was in the 18th-19th century then i would say i would give up everything i have just for me to have the person i love in my life but to be frank and honest, in this 21st century no body in the wright frame of mind would give up all his/her achievements up for love...
That is to say, love is beautiful and good but in this century of ours romantic movies and novels are now our driving force, they have now gotten into our heads and all our actions are based on what we read and see, especially the teenagers...
In this modern age and time, there are lots of effect of romantic movies and novels on relationship and some of them are in the below paragraphs:
FAIRYTALE LIFE..
Romantic movies and novels has really influenced a lot of relationships and it is painting the wrong picture of what relationship is all about...
Majority of young lovers and teens are treating their relationship just like how they saw and read it in both movies and novels and they have made it a manual and the thing they don't realize is that love is not always as the way it is in a book or movie and there is more to handling a relationship...
It has now gotten into their heads that they want everything in their relationship to be just like the way they have seen and read which is wrong...
Watching and reading romantic movies and novels has made most lovers to be in the world of fairytale where everything they wish for will just be readily available and granted to them and that is just the movies and novels in them speaking....
FALSE HOPES..
Yes this another effect of romantic movies and novels on relationships, when are you are using this things as a relationship manual, you will be having false hopes from reality and that is when you will be depending on something that is not possible all because you saw an actor doing it in a movie and now you are requesting such from your partner...
For example, in the story of titanic where jack had to give up his life for rose, he realized the object could not carry the weight of two so he gave his spot up for rose so that she could survive and he went inside the water while holding her hand and talking to her while she was on the object and he was cherishing his last moment with her while freezing 🥶🥶🥶...
I am sure if young lovers should see this, they will want to believe that every man will be like jack and do that same thing when there is a similar case, lolz, out of 100 percent guys, you wont see 10 percent that will do what jack did...
That is just the fact, nobody is ready to die and that is to say, it is giving them false hopes and this is also like wise for the males too, if you are looking for Jack in this century then you will need to travel back in time to get Jack..
WONDER LAND DREAM...
There will always be some demands from every relationship that has movies and novels as it's manual, you don't need to do whatever is done in the movie or novel, don't forget you are reading and watching what someone like you and I wrote..
Because you saw it in a movie that the couples in the movie celebrated their anniversary on a boat so on your own anniversary you expect it to also be on a boat 🤔🤔🤔, that is just the movie talking...
It makes you believe in what would not always be readily available to you, you just need to work with your reality and options and not using them as your manual...
Romantic movies and novels are not to be trusted as they are written and acted according to scripts, when you believe everything you read and see in both movies and novels, then you start having high hopes which on the real sense will bring you disappointment...
The romantic movies and novels you are depending on is the source of income for a family and as you are the consumer, you now take it to be real that you are using it as your relationship guidance, if you continue to do everything in real life as they are been done in movies then you are bound to be disappointed 100 percent..
You need to be real and treat your relationship with the odds and options you are presented with in the real world and stop wanting and dreaming like a Cinderella where everything is always a miracle...
Agreed that some romantic movies and novels are true life stories but don't believe it at all times and start using it as your daily life mantras...
In summary, romantic movies and novels has really done more harm than good in relationships and we just need to to be back to reality and let movies be movies while novels be novels...
In conclusion, don't watch romantic movies and novels where you everything is granted beautifully and you start requesting something that your partner isn't capable of granting at that moment claiming you are a prince or princess....
