More movies that made me think

So today I managed to find time in my "busy" schedule to watch Made of Honor, and Definitely Maybe. Both actually had about the same idea. Guy and girl are friends, but end up finding romance with each other... but not til the very end. Love is such a huge concept, but so simple as well. The whole concept of commitment seems so lost on people today, but then you see a movie or read a blog or whatever and you see that it isn't totally lost, just absent from 99% of what you see on television or experience in life. In fact, watching Enchanted I saw the same basic idea. People choose someone based on their idea of what "true love" or "love at first sight" is, and things go dreadfully wrong. This is one concept that definitely carries over into the real world. Bill Clinton argues about whether or not he really lied, John Edwards admits he lied about one thing, but denies what is probably another lie... or several. John McCain avoids the topic altogether, because he got with his current wife while his former wife was crippled and disfigured after a car wreck. There is just something missing with all of these people. Their aspirations for success and power have carried over into their personal relationships, which seem to continue on being about finding success and power even while being married. It would be like if Michael Phelps was winning gold medals only to have more than anyone else had. Well, that one might be true, but we will never know. But if relationships are only about winning and losing, then everyone loses. I've been there before, it's not fun. Really though, I don't want to get THAT far off track, although I have somewhat come back to my original point. Relationships aren't about finding the best looking person, or the one with the most money, or the one whose schedule works out best for you, or even the one that fits best with you on a series of personality driven tests. It's just about being there for someone, better or worse, and them being there for you back. The two movies were completely about that because it was about great friends finding each other in the end, even when one or both of them might not have realized it to begin with. Genuine friendship is hard enough to find, so I suppose it should carry over to be difficult to find love too...
