Joe, trust me on this. You’ve made a mistake. He’s a good kid. I understand. You’re hot, you’re super fucking pissed. We’re all real emotional. But you’re barking up the wrong tree. I know this man. He wouldn’t do that.

favourite romances in film?

Karl Oskar and Kristina in Jan Troell's Utvandrarna and Nybyggarna

Jack and Rose in Titanic

Marianne and Heloise in Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Laura and Alec in Brief Encounter

Jack and Sally in Blow Out

Bud Baxter and Fran Kubelik in The Apartment

Cathy and Raymond in Far From Heaven

Lara and Yuri in Doctor Zhivago

Apropos although they're not all necessarily my "favourite romances" (which requires both characters each be fully realized and not just a narrative device) I'm a sucker for "lightning strike" first looks in movie romances; some of my favourites being Jack and Rose in Titanic, Michael and Apollonia in The Godfather, Judah and Esther in Ben-Hur, Freder and Maria in Metropolis, and Siegfried and Kriemhild in Die Nibelungen: Siegfried.

The modern question of pronoun usages is not just a conversation about self-actualization, it’s a battle about who gets to define language. And, in our contemporary times, if English is meant to maintain its function as a “universal” language, it will have to adapt to function in the more equitable world we are building, not just the colonial one it forged.
