All the same?

9:47pm. Well i caved and saw 'the vow' today and ill admit it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, there were times where i was like 'are you serious?' but everything turned out good in the end (ps. as if we didnt know how it was going to end), this ending made me think of something my sociology of pop culture and media prof said a few weeks ago; all these movies are the same, boy and girl meet, they fall in love, something tears them apart about a hour or so in, they overcome said problems and they live happily ever after. Everything is set to a specific formula so you know what is going to happen. And maybe some people are okay with that, some people love predicability and movie producers know that predicability makes the money but for once I would like to see the girl and guy not live happily ever after, i mean with the divorce rate at what it is it would be more realistic. and are we seriously paying money to watch this kind of stuff?, the only thing that people get out of movie like this is the ridiculous expectation that love happens like that, it doesn't people don't always get a happy ending, people get left behind, sometimes there isn't a guy standing out in the rain professing his love. Life isn't a movie, we like to think it is, but I think the thing we forget is that what we are watching is people being paid to act in love, being paid to give us false hope.
