Countless times in my life have I heard women blame their misguided perception of relationships on movies. Why not blame it on Cinderella? I mean.. lets spend a timed 30 seconds rattling off the movies dedicated to making us believe that Prince Charming is out there waiting to sweep us off our feet.... and go:
Cinderella
Beauty and the Beast
Little Mermaid
Anastasia
Pretty Woman
An Officer and A Gentleman
Breakfast at Tiffanys
Casablanca
Dirty Dancing
My Best Friend's Wedding
Runaway Bride
Every Nicholas Sparks Movie EVER
ok and time. My point is I BARELY got started... but this isnt really my point. My POINT is that it's acheivable! It might not be the rediculous set up/heartbreak/true love ending that is exactly depicted in the movies... but there are a TON of happily married people out there in the world. There are PLENTY of people who are satisfied in their relationships (myself being one of them) so all those ladies out there that are blaming their inability to find "true love" lets just face it... YOUR PERSONALITY NEEDS WORK!
Ok so my point wasnt really about true love being achievable... my point is that movies are misleading us one one HORRIFIC AWFUL OTHER DIRECTION! Why oh WHY do movies
set me up to think that one sweet and precious day... i'll take part in a public DANCE SEQUENCE! Why hasnt this happen!?!? What do i have to do to MAKE this happen?!?
I mean look at the abundance of evidence that tells us that this should be achievable:
500 Days of Summer (thank you for sparking this blog!)
Napoleon Dynomite
40 Year Old Virgin
She's All That
Hitch
Dirty Dancing
Enchanted
13 Going on 30
Superstar
Beetlejuice
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (yeah you started this!)
but you know how many times this has happened to me?! NONE! Not one damn time! Infact.. Idont know one single personal friend who has achieved this not on a stage... so someone please explain to me why there's a mass of girls bitching about true love and finding their damn Prince Charming and no one else is concerned about dance sequences!
