You Belong With Me

Taylor Swift.

I watch a lot of movies, and it came to my realization today that the starring couple has one amazing reason or another for their being together. Or not. Some have separate story lines where you bite your nails for the 90 minutes waiting for them to realize their obvious love. And others have already found each other but their activities with one another seem to interest us.

John Case and Linda. Children in grown up bodies trapped in a restraining rich world.

Heathcliff and Cathy. Childhood playmates and teenage sweethearts. Their personalities live within one another.

Jenna and Matt. Another perfect example of childhood playmates and teenage sweethearts.

As much as I hate to admit it, Noah and Allie. He helps her find who she truly is. Shows her a life she never knew.

Sam and Jake Ryan. He sees her sweet beauty behind her shy cover.

And then there's the other stories.

The Last song. Why are they together? How did they end up together? In a real life situaiton would a beach volleyball player really chase after the rude, grungy teenager? I doubt it.

Charlie St. Cloud. Why does he go after her? Because he has hallucinations about her. Someone please explain how that would be a good start to a relationship.

Annakin and Padame. Umm... Enough said I believe.

The Holiday's Kate and Jack. She's brilliant and sweet. He's well, Jack Black. Creepy and off. Why are they together?

And I'm not a fan of the one night stands turning into true love.... Doubtful to happen.

Some couples belong together. Some don't. So why do scriptwriters put in those couples that have absolutely nothing in common besides the infatuation they have for each other. It makes for a crummy love story and unrealistic movie.
I should be a movie critic.
