Day 5: Rant about Anything

Ranting about the perpetuation of "romantic love" in movies.
Obsessive or destructive love is so often represented in movies and T.V. as romantic love.  To use as an example but by far not the only one is "The Amazing Spiderman 2" Peter Parker has pictures Gwen Stacy all over his room, he watches her without her knowing, follows her.  And when he tells her all this she swoons as if this is some romantic gesture of true love. 
Another example is of course the horrible "Twilight" saga where Edward watches Bella sleep and has an intense amount of focus directed at her and again instead of this being portrayed as creepy or unhealthy it is deemed romantic and the mark of true love.  She becomes so obsessed with this amount of attention from Edward that when he breaks up with she puts her life in danger because than she can "hear his voice"  seriously this is what we want to teach our young people is a healthy relationship.
The idea of being so in love with another person that you would go to any  lengths to see them, watch them even when they have made it clear they no longer want to see you is not healthy.  We need to be focusing more on stories where the individuals in a relationship achieve things as a team or even better as individuals and than come together as equals as complete and whole individuals that are together instead of two people who have to be together to be whole or complete.
