Death and disasters in romantic films

1. DEATH AND DISASTERS IN
ROMANTIC FILMS

2. OUR FILM
Towards the end of our film plots, after Lily has been ill and achieving
her life dreams, she dies, leaving one more wish on the list that was
never completed.
The idea of this was to make the film emotional due to the audience
hopefully developing a strong bond with the characters which is then
destroyed once she has died.
The concept of not fulfilling all of your life wishes was to show that
death can never truly be predicted and that we never know when
these things may happen, so life has to be lived to its full.

3. OTHER ROMANTIC FILMS
The notebook is an incredibly popular
romantic film which includes scenes of death
to rather main characters.
Charlie St.Cloud is based around the death
of a main character, which creates the plot
for the film, this is similar to P.S I love you,
which with out death would not have a plot
at all

4. OTHER ROMANTIC FILMS
A lot of romantic films base their stories
around dilemmas, for example, Eternal
Sunshine of the Spotless mind is based on the
break up of one couple.
The Vow’s main character loses her memory,
which puts down a very romantic plot of a
devoted boy friend trying to get back his
relationship.
Finally, the very popular Four Weddings and a
Funeral by the also very popular comedy writer
Richard Curtis, has the disasters and dilemmas
in the title.
