Movie Type
The Hopeless Romantic
Believes in true love. At least twice per movie.
You rate films by how thoroughly they ruin your heart, in the best way. During airport scenes you're this close to running along, and you keep a private scoring system for "the look". Rain isn't weather to you, it's set design.
You believe in the one look, the one song, the one moment in the rain. Cynics call it kitsch; you call it craft: a great love story is precision work on an open heart. And yes, you cried at the wedding scene again.
