I think most people, like you, ...Rum, Karma, *hugs*<br />I think most people, like you, know what I think. You have both said it so well. Oh Karma, your husband is an example of what we all know. It is too bad that our society is so sexist that terms like 'chick flick' are even used. Putting down women and the film all at once...as if fanboys know better. ;-)jessegirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06296261235960977428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646388995593578035.post-50691101290163044422011-02-12T22:01:14.333-05:002011-02-12T22:01:14.333-05:00I agree, the term is condescending as if to say th...I agree, the term is condescending as if to say that the film has nothing to offer men (implied: people who know good films...) <br /><br />I went to see this with my husband and he loved it. It moved him as much as it did me. Often times we sit around and he turns to me and says, "You know what movie we need to watch? Remember Me." Out of the blue he says this, a year after our first time.<br /><br />I don't think it's a chick flick. I think it's an incredibly complex and emotional film experience. I think it call it a chick flick demeans the scope and purpose of the film.InstantKarmaGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16167278561146122904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646388995593578035.post-6879202202994820342011-02-12T15:39:20.464-05:002011-02-12T15:39:20.464-05:00To me "chick flick" has always sounded a...To me "chick flick" has always sounded a bit condescending and also too restrictive, as if it were necessary to label films or books in specific genres... I don't think it's a chick flick, it can appeal to both men and women, as the character study is equally balanced between Tyler and Ally, and the other characters are all strongly delineated and very interesting. RM cannot be reduced to a love story. It's a story about family, loss and pain, and also about love, in all its forms. Romantic love is only one of its components and is not treated as a fluffy romance, as is so often the case in the "chick flick" category (for those who really want to classify and categorize...).WhyIstheRumAlwaysGonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11171460182401203000noreply@blogger.com
