What I Think About Love!!

"Let Me Kiss You" by Morrissey

Although Morrissey is a very strange guy, I believe the message through this song is a very strong one. He speaks of of love in a very passionate sense and he makes sure to put a lot of meaning behind it. He also performs in a very strange way, using unique movements and odd gestures to make his point. Its almost creepy.

Casablanca

I love this movie and love inthis movie is the real fantasy love that we read about. It is the sort of love that takes you away from reality for a little while only to be brought back, knowing that you can never be together. They use the song "As Time Goes By" in this movie repeatedly. Some of the lyrics in this song are: "The world will always welcome lovers, as time goes by." I believe these lines are emphasizing the fact that no matter what happens in reality, the world will always have time for love and this is what happened in this movie. They were destined for each other and met during a turbulent time in everyones life, but they still had time to love. So like I said earlier, this is more of the fairytale aspect of love rather than the everyday stuff.

Sunset Boulevard

This is also a strange way to portray love. This writer was trying to bring in the obsession and strangness into love and it was definitly achieved. He does this by having a woman attempt to kill hersef because she can't be with the one that shes loves, though he does not love her back. She belives that if she can buy his love that that is enough and it is not. You need the emotional part and the feeling behind it, and although she thinks she has it, I just think shes a crazy woman that doesn't know what to do with her lonely life. Love makes people do crazy things and this movie definitly gets this point across to the audience. Anybody who attempts suicide for love, is well, a little off their rocker if you know what I mean.
