The Rom-Com Formula, Explained

The first 500 people to use this link will get a 2 month free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: https://skl.sh/thetake81 | The Rom-Com Formula: Two people at odds, a meet-cute, misunderstanding or an outright lie, an adorably clumsy heroine, a red herring love interest, a whimsical job, a big apartment, zany side characters, kissing in the rain, the epiphany, the happy-ever-after... and more. What makes this "comfort food" of cinema so irresistible? The contradictory Rom-Com Genre has had its ups and downs, but these unrealistic yet ever-relatable movies are seeing a comeback. In this video we analyze what makes this genre, and what it tells us about love. If you like this video, subscribe to our channel or support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thetake
