Romance Cliches:
The most obvious cliches of a romance film are:
- The most obvious one is the boy meets a girl and its love at first sight, the boy then looses the girl and then they get back together, but
that is not true. For the most part, the boys have nothing to do with it. The cliche that actually occurs in the classic romance
films is that the female lead almost never ends up with the man she was originally
supposed to spend the rest of her life with.
- Romances normally show the 'Prince Charming' who everyone falls in love with and that one girl ends up with him who they didn't expect.
- They normally show the family life with the pushy but loveable mother who is always getting involved,
confused father,
the fat, mouthy but lovely girlfriend,
the gay neightbour, best friend or co-worker who is always there and knows what it is like to be heart broken.
- Dance can save the marriage and make it romantic.
- There is always a dramatic scene.
- Someone dies, hurt or ill,
- Car crashes or sudden divorces.
- There is always a break up where the man or women goes to the airport or goes to the train station to leave and then realises he is making a massive mistake.
- Rich english man who takes control and always seems to make suprises.
