He's Just Not That Into You Reflection

In He’s Just Not That Into You, Alex plays a character that reminds me of our “hook up culture” discussion. When he gives Gigi advice and tips on how guys think, he explains how guys really think about women. Most of his advice revolves around how guys think about relationships and women. Also, Alex reveals that he does not attach himself to the girls with whom he kind of gets involved. However, Alex and Gigi’s relationship turn out demonstrates that not all relationships are negative. When my classmates and I interviewed happily married couples, we realized that relationships do not always have negative affects.

Beth and Neil’s relationship also reminds me of our love story project as well as our discussion of love and relationships. Even though they cohabitate, which is another topic we discussed, they have such an awesome connections and love for each other. Beth says that Neil is more of a husband despite the fact that they are not married than the husbands of women who are married. I think that if a relationship is so powerful and strong in that way, cohabitating is not necessarily a bad thing. Although Neil did not want to get married in the beginning of the film, he demonstrates that his love for Beth is stronger than his wants. When Neil proposes he says that he needs to make Beth happy in order for him to be happy. A love like Beth and Neil’s is a great example of the positive aspects of love and relationships.
