Is love just like it's depicted in movies?

No !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After Happy endings! LOL

Then starts the battle of wills!!

Really? I think movies make it more complicated than real life. I've never had to run to an airport to stop the love of my life from leaving. what's Up with romantic movies obsession with airports and airplanes at the end of movies anyway?

I'd go as far as to say that nothing is much like it's depicted in movies, from big business, police work, espionage or science, right down to the most mundane matters of finding a parking place or getting served in a restaurant.

When it comes to love and romance, like some of those other things, a great deal of dramatic telescoping becomes necessary, unless you want to watch films that are days, weeks or months long. So if Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant are in love after only ten minutes of screen time, the seeming simplicity is merely an effect of that telescoping, and comprises maybe only a tenth of a film's running time, so the other 90% can concentrate on whatever complications play out to make their relationship interesting. Like the old cliche: boy meets girl; boy loses girl; boy wins girl back.

Alfred Hitchcock summed it all up pretty well: "Movies are like life with the dull bits cut out."  

In screwball comedies or rom-coms, however, those complications have just the opposite effect. The misunderstandings in most of those films could be circumvented if the couple involved would just sit down for five minutes and talk sensibly and honestly to each other...but then, where's your movie? The whole point of films like that is to complicate things that can be simple in real life. 

In the end, not many people would pay money to see movies that are just like real life.  

The Heartbreak Kid is a film that, in its time, anyway, came from no established mold, courtesy of the askance comic sensibilities of the unique Elaine May and uncharacteristic envelope-pushing of screenwriter Neil Simon, who normally lightened recognizable human dilemmas with wisecracks. As much as it touches on frustrations and yearnings that anyone, as you say, "can relate to," it's daring in providing access to those feelings by way of a helplessly fixated yet oddly charming swine.    

Movies make it easier for disabled characters to find love. But the catch is that the disabled person has to be handsome or beautiful. IRL because of the stigma and stereotypes surrounding disabled people and dating, it's harder and it doesn't matter if the disabled person is attractive. Not saying disabled people can't have relationships, just that it takes longer.

Don't know.
