Valentines day classics for women

A bit like gone with the wind, I'm always falling in love with the wrong guys. I want to know why. Can you tell me? In my Bus Stop films sheet about romantic comedy it explains about Mr. Wrong. Mr. Wrong is put in the film to distract the main character from her true love. I still don't know what my true love is. I'm still learning different types of love. Some women in classic romantic films are a bit desperate. Sometimes in these films there are women who are going on and on and on about love. There are powerful women in female roles like
Shirly Valentine.
She has a love afair with Costas, but she is really falling in love with life.
I like both. And fairytales, like into the woods, it was amazing, like I say in my poem about Into the Woods.
Into The Woods By Emma Brodie The Brothers Grimm were the writers of the old fairy stories like The Baker and His Wife, Cinderella, Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood (with the Granny and with Johnny Depp in there as well, as the Wolf). They have all those characters in Into The Woods, The Musical. The plots were my favourite. Emily Blunt was the Bakers's Wife. She wanted to have a baby but she couldn't because she had to have a curse in her belly stopped. I don't know what enchantment means. What kind of curses? There's a female giant who comes back because Jack kills her husband. That's terrifying, which means it is so scary. The Witch is ok, she's not that scary, she becomes beautiful after the spell. It's a riddle, that means it's a mysterious puzzle - it's fiction which means it's not real. It's about ogres and elves. Ella Enchanted is a legend, like in the Brothers Grimm. It is a fantasy, with love, which means it's made up and has magic and a prince in it and more, like mermaids and fairies. Fairytales are for adults too, not just children who love them, the fairytales, in life, don't they? Sometimes the stories are too scary for babies. Though babies will grow up to be in movies and it's gross to put makeup on babies but it can look really pretty when they are Cupids with arrows on Valentine's Day. (Babies are a very big responsibility and I just love them.) Enchanted stories have a curse and a book of spells; the characters have to solve the riddle. If the fairy is not that talented, that means she's still learning and can't do strong spells. Ella is like Cinderella but she has to do all the work herself, which means she doesn't have any magic in her, so she has to be independent. Actually I don't think I am a Cinderella yet because I don't have a prince yet - or a king or all the royal riches - so what does that mean? It's not a myth, a story you tell children. I'm not that little any more - I decide what I want and I can go out and get it. But can I have both? Can I have romance and can I have to do things for myself? That's the hard part. It's because it's a story of palaces that make you feel good but they're not really true. I didn't know why Rapunzel was so sad. I think it's because her mother the witch locked her up in a tower. Because she loved her too much. She wanted Rapunzel to stay with her all for herself, that's why she was mean to cut all her hair off, because she didn't want Rapunzel to grow up or let the prince into her life. Anna says "that's the opposite of what your mum and dad do for you." Because my mum lets me to be free and I am trying to be free to get a guy and one who cares about me (and not my parents.) That's why I want to do my own dates, I don't want to be told to do things but I like fantasy, I like both. Rapunzel doesn't like change. Cinderella doesn't like change either because her step-sisters and mother don't help her. The step sisters & stepmother wear clothes that are a little bit slutty because they think they're sexy but they're not - they're gross and repulsive and tramps. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just telling the truth. The Giant's Wife is a bit creepy too. The Giants have a Goose, sitting with a Golden Egg, to make them rich and a golden very pretty harp, which is what a lot of women play or I think Ben does (I will ask Ben if he can play the harp as well as the guitar. Is that what men do mostly, play the harp, or women? I think the guitar is much softer, to make the giant go to sleep.) Cinderella remembered her mother being so beautiful, so she was like a fairy godmother. She's always was the most glamorous princess, that Cinderella, the most classic, except for Rapunzel. In the movie Into The Woods, I remember Jack's mother dying and the Baker's Wife too. It was very sad. I liked thesong "You Are Not Alone." And they all lived happily ever after, which isn't real but we wish it was, and that we can have both real and fantasy in our lives. And Shakespeare. And weddings as well. They always make weddings look good in fairytales.
