Cinematic Romance at its Best.
With the exception of when Harry met Sally - on a road trip after graduating from the University of Chicago - cinematic romance is typically misguiding and unrealistic. Boy typically meets girl (or vice versa), they quarrel or deceit - or become diagnosed with an irreversible moderately life-threatening disease (Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Nicholas Cage, to name a few) - and eventually a kiss turns the beast into a real life prince - or cures the ailing & incredibly healthy-looking victim on his or her death bed - and all ends happily ever after. Alternately, Harry and Sally struggle through divorces, fake orgasms, lonely holidays, and game nights until their ability to communicate while recognizing the trials and tribulations of relationships reunites them in a scene worth memorizing, if only because its romantically familiar. Enjoy!
