As girls, we grow up watching fairytales. A beautiful princess, an evil monster and a charming prince. Some of us never really grown out of the fairytale phase. We just shift to Rom-Coms.
Romantic Comedies are also like fairytales, a beautiful girl in disguise, an evil monster and a charming prince that only arrives when the princess needs rescuing. All the movies that we watch or all the books we read circle around more or less the same plot. You know, that there will be a happy ending. That, love will win.
In Pretty Woman, Richard Gere sweeps in and saves Julia Robert. He gives her hope, the strength to see her own potential and not to forget, a happily ever after.
In Notting Hill, Julia Roberts is saved by Hugh Grant from the pretentious little world of the film industry. He shows her that there is a world where she will be truly loved for who she is.
All of these stories are similar yet so different from each other. The characters and the situations are made to look so real and believable that you think it could happen to you as well. Could it be that these stories weren't made to look real but were real. Could anyone, absolutely anyone, have their own fairytale and just want to show it to the world? Are all stories fiction with a dash of reality or are they a reality with a dash of fiction?
