Romance Movies Offer the Perfect Escape

We all know that romance movies tend to offer a very fictionalized version of love.

We get this look at the development of love, and there’s a chance to escape the real world. Whether it’s a good old-fashioned rom-com like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or it’s a steamy romance like 50 Shades of Grey, the movies allow us to root (or not root) for a particular couple, and we get to live in a make-believe world where love can always win out.

There’s a sense of hope in this type of story. If these people can find love, then why can’t we?

A Nostalgic Look at Love

According to Berkeley High Jacket, there’s a psychological reason why rom-coms are such favorites. It’s all about nostalgia, as the movies allow people to think back to their first loves. They can see moments from the couples on the screen that reflect a seemingly perfect love in our lives, and this leads to a boost of oxytocin.

We all need a chance to destress, and that’s exactly what the movies can do for us. We were all teenagers once, and we have those rushes of emotions and the dream of finding our Prince Charming, and rom-coms allow us to experience that again.

Would we love for our lives to play out like a rom-com? Well, that’s debatable. I don’t think I could go through all the emotions of movies like 10 Things I Hate About You and Twilight: New Moon, but there are some who would love it because of the happily ever after at the very end. I will admit, it’s fun to romanticize the idea of finding Mr. Right while walking into a local bookstore!
