  1. Yes I agree that movies have an affect on how people view what a good relationship is or could be. Most people tend to compare their relationships to movies all the time. Is it a good thing? No not all. One relationship is not like another and the actors that act out these funny, crazy, or unrealistic relationships don’t tend to have that relationship in real life. Some movies actually show what people are looking for in a relationship or what people have right now in their relationship.

  3. Yea I do because people always want there man to sit right next to them on a couch and have the fire place burning wood. Watch a nice romantic movie and Sometimes that may cause the man to go to sleep. That will be a big turn off for a woman but the man will see that she is trying to get there attention in a good way. But then again there life is not a movie so the relationship would have its own ending and it may not be a happy one.

  4. I personally don’t think that movies affect what is necessary in a good relationship. That’s because majority of society know that the movies are fictional and aren’t based on everyday life. I’m sure people realize that everyone has a different way of viewing what a good relationship is to them. For example, in movies the guy is always buying the women something and never fighting about anything. To the movie makers, this is what a good relationship is, never arguing about anything and only based on materialistic things. By now, we all know that’s not true what so ever, EVERYONE in every relationship argues once in a while or constantly. If not, then it’s not a real relationship because it’s impossible not to argue with your partner. Relationships aren’t based on material things either and if they are then its not real either. Movies have actors, its their job to act fake.

  6. Yes I think that movies are an influence in real life relationships because it shows us all the good in relationships such as good life with kids and nice husband with the perfect job not saying that it doesn’t show the bad just often the good. We began to think that love and relationships need to be life they are in movies. For example love in basketball they were friends since they were little and then got together as adults so it make people think just cause you know some one forever doesn’t mean its going to work.

    I do believe that movies affect peoples view on a good relationship because people think once you see it on the big screen it’s the truth. When people see how the actors in the movie act, they think that’s how they think ordinary people are supposed to act. People think that that’s the ideal relationship. The media wants people to think that that’s how its suppose to go. People should realize that its just a movie and people get paid to write and act out the ideal relationship. The actors are created characters that are not real. It would be hard to act like these people because everyone has flaws that come with them.

  9. This comment is for Ms.October,I agree with you just because you see a men and woman in the movie have a candle light dinner by the fire place doesnt mean that every guy wants to do that. Every male and female has they own way to show romance.

  10. I believe that movies affect how people view what is necessary to have a good relationship. Movies put a since of judgment that if it isn’t all romantic how it is in the movie it’s not romantic. They build a false state of judgment on what is romantic in a relationship. When most people see a romantic movie they tend to think there relationship is not as good because it’s not how it is in the movie. Movies also send a message that if you act the same way as in the movies all relationship will be perfect. No relationship is perfect that’s what makes a relationship work.

  11. NO I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT MOVIES AFFECT HOW PEOPLE VIEW WHATS IS GOOD FOR A RELATIONSHIP. WHY I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE MOVIES ARE SUPPOSE TO SELL AND MOVIES ARE WRITTEN IN SCRITPS THEY’RE ACTTING. 5 OUT OF 10 MOVIES ARE BASED ON A TURE STORY.SO WHY APPLY WHAT YOU SEEN IN A MOVIE INTO YOUR REAL LIFE SITUATIONS.

  13. Most of movies are fake, and to hear or see a movie about having a good relationship. Can be good if it was the truth if it was an issue that every relationship has. But if it was false then movies can affect people relationship that people are going to think that their relationship should be the way just like the movie say, which is wrong it shouldn’t be like that. Your relationship is real think not fake, not like movies they are fake.

  14. Yes, movies do affect how people view what is necessary for a good relationship. Movies convey a story, wherein the characters face some type of challenge but eventually reach their happy ending. People, in this case people in relationships, are always looking for their own happy ending, so it is natural for them to want to follow in the characters footsteps in order for them to eventually reach their own happy ending. In doing this, people in relationships disregard the fact that movies are fictional and that directly following a movies message does not guarantee a happy ending.

    I totally agree that movies influence what people view what is necessary for a good relationship. Movies are very powerful people are influence by romantic movies and some time are teach by it, on how to drive a romantic or friendship relationship. Furthermore, it has to be a good movie with a positive message so people will think that they need to do or have what they saw in the movie in order to have a good relationship. After someone sees a movie most of the time people became with a new perspective of a theme or in this case their relationship. Example, Titanic is excellent movies that make every ones think on their own life and relationship and what they would have don’t if they where Jack or any of the characters. I do think that movie tend to make people think different from what actually they are or have. Most of the movies have happy endings and that is what people want in their relationship a happy end like the one in the movies.

  17. This message is for Eric. I agree with you that not relationship is perfect and that is what it makes it work. But to most of the people movies are an easy way to learn about what is need in they relationship maybe they won’t get crazy as the characters in the movies but they work the way out to get things better in their lives.

    Yes I believe movies and television affects how people views relationships. In many ways unlike TV/ Movies or Plays are all nonfictional. There’s an old saying that “relationships dose not come with instructions” so people look to entertainment or what they see in the media for what they come to think a relationship is suppose to be like. For example The Cosby Show where you have an African American family who live this perfect life were the relationships between the family members always end on a good/happy note. (THAT’S NOT REAL) this show in on for 30minuts and then those actors go back to their everyday lives. The said thing about this situation is that there are far few healthy relationships out their, and the divorce rate is still at an all times high.
