The topic of this article was interesting films about love with an exciting plot, the list of which can be continued almost endlessly, since it is very difficult to imagine a less inexhaustible topic. They say that at the heart of any movie, whether it is a drama or a comedy, a detective or even a psychological thriller, in fact, only love ...
This feeling is enormous and comprehensive. It is always different and for each person has its own special individual meaning. Love is a kind of picture with constantly changing colors and paints, constantly in the continuous cycle of birth, life and dying, and therefore it is eternal. And today we will recall the brightest of these paintings, the most deeply sunk into the souls of the audience, from domestic and world cinema.
Domestic movie about love
Today it seems that almost the entire Soviet-era cinema was devoted to love films with an exciting plot. Such legendary paintings and unconditional masterpieces of the time, such as Girls, Three Poplars on Plyushchikha, Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!, Afonya, Cruel Romance, Tabor Goes to Heaven, In Love of my own free will, "I can’t say goodbye," and many other tapes were devoted to the topic of love.
Compared to the current one, the cinema of those years was crystal clear, emotionally rich and kind, telling viewers simple stories from life. The most striking representatives of Soviet films about love with an exciting plot were such hits familiar to everyone as “Love and Pigeons”, “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears” and “Station for Two”, which did not need separate comments. I would like to pay special attention to another Soviet picture, not so spoiled by television broadcasts.
"You never dreamed ..."
After being released in 1980, the film “You Never Had A Dream ...” has been considered one of the favorite domestic viewers and the most interesting films about love with an exciting plot for almost forty years. Indeed, despite the complete absence of even a hint of any frankness that modern cinema abounds in, this film, which tells about the first boundless love of schoolchildren Roman and Katya, whose roles were brilliantly performed by Nikita Mikhailovsky and Tatyana Aksyuta, turned out to be quite intimate, which was completely atypical for Soviet cinema of that time.
“You never dreamed” is a piercing and dramatic story about the first tenderness, the first touch, the first and, perhaps, the most important independent decision and act in life. This film was simply a stunning success for the audience and critics, becoming the best film of the year and receiving many prizes at domestic and foreign film festivals.
"14+"
From the modern cohort of domestic interesting films with an exciting story about love, I want to highlight the surprisingly bright and kind picture of 2015 "14+". The main roles in this story of Romeo and Juliet today, unfolding in one of the sleeping areas of the average city of Russia, were played by aspiring young actors Gleb Kalyuzhny and Ulyana Vaskovich.
The world of Lesha and Wiki is a social network, a school and a street that lives by its own cruel rules and laws that suddenly become alien to them. They are only fourteen years old, and their parents were completely unprepared for the fact that their children had already become individuals with the right to choice and feelings. They are still insecure teenagers who are hampered by their own doubts and complexes, fear of the first step and lack of reciprocity in their first emotional outbursts, but their first nascent love ultimately overcomes all obstacles.
"Titanic"
It’s quite logical to start the list of foreign interesting films with an exciting story about love with the famous painting “Titanic”, which was released in 1997. This epicly large-scale and beautiful film made such an indelible impression on everyone that it became a champion in the number of Oscars received, immediately taking eleven gold figurines, including the award in the nomination "Best Film of the Year".
After the legendary 1939 film “Gone With the Wind”, “Titanic” was deservedly recognized as the best melodrama of all time, and the leading performers Leonardo di Caprio and Kate Winslet made this picture real world stars.
Poor artist Jack and girlfriend Rose, engaged to a millionaire, met aboard the Titanic and fell in love. As a result of the tragedy of their love, they were destined to become very short and just as eternal ...
"City of Angels"
Another of the number of interesting films with an exciting story about love was the wonderful and soulful "City of Angels", which premiered in 1998.
In this film, actors Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan performed some of the best roles in their careers. The plot of the picture is based on the fact that our entire visible world is filled with invisible angels that are invisibly present everywhere here on earth, and not in heaven. Knowing neither pain nor love, they listen to human thoughts, directing their unsuspecting interlocutors to certain actions, console and give strength.
Heart surgeon Maggie saves people, and the angel Seth is always there at this time to pick up those whom she could not save. Gradually, hitherto unknown feelings for Maggie wake up in him. An angel who accidentally loves an earthly woman has only one way to become visible and to be able to touch her beloved - to die and become a mortal. And Seth takes this step ...
"Bitch love"
Among the interesting films with an exciting story about love, this unusual picture by the brilliant director Alejandro González Iñarritu, who gave the world many masterpieces imprinted in the hearts of viewers who prefer intellectual cinema, is completely isolated.
The film "Bitch Love", released in 2000, was the first full-length picture of Inarritu, which brought him world fame.
This picture considers the concept of love as a comprehensive philosophical definition, revealing to shocked viewers the points of mutual contact of love and death through three parallel, but ultimately bloody, narrative stories. By the will of the creator, as a result of a fatal accident, three lives will collide and the whole depth of the treacherous side of human nature will be revealed.
"Bitch love" turns inside out. Three cruel love stories will converge into one, all the details and interweaving of fate will be tied into a single ruthless knot, which you can understand only by watching this brilliant and unique film to the very end. And be sure: the aftertaste from what you see will haunt you for a long time.
"Real love"
The plot of this wonderful, funny and life-affirming film, which premiered in November 2003, consists of nine romantic stories developing in parallel to each other against the backdrop of the Christmas holiday turmoil.
The culmination of events takes place on Christmas Eve, when all ten main characters, whose roles were played by such wonderful actors as Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Laura Linney, Thomas Sangster, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Bill Nyei and Martin Freeman, in some unthinkable way, intertwined with each other.
Love literally overwhelms every frame of this romantic, home-like cozy movie, reminding all viewers that only this great feeling can rule any person, all people.
"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
One of the brightest representatives of twisted-plot love films was the extraordinary 2004 fantasy melodrama Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, starring actors Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet.
The plot of the picture is quite original and intricate. One fine day, the main character met a beautiful stranger, talked to her and realized that he had already known her once. Moreover, not just familiar, they even loved each other, but for some reason he did not remember her. The girl felt the same thing.
But is it really so easy to forget the one you loved, who were dear to you, with whom you shared your house and bed? Is there a machine that eliminates any memories? The answer to these questions can be found only by watching this amazing and intricate film.
"Fall in love with me..."
Unexpected and unlike other melodrama "Fall in love with me if you dare" was released in 2003. French actors Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard played one of the strangest but harmonious pairs in the cinema. Having met in childhood and starting the game “weakly - not weakly”, they lost all their life into it. Growing up, now and then experiencing mutual pain, but still not giving in and continuing to play even when they realized that they love each other.
This film is very bright, beautiful and eventful in French. It has everything that is inherent in ordinary romantic comedies. However, he also has the fact that as if a sharpened knife crosses out everything that was before. This is a shocking ending, to which the main characters reach. The ending is so unexpected that it becomes difficult to breathe ...
"Lake house"
This picture, which debuted at the box office on June 16, 2006, is, at first glance, quite simple. Its plot is based on the idea that each person is not able to meet his fragile glass house, standing on the banks of the river, symbolizing endlessly running away time. The glass house is a metaphorical expression of an unattainable dream that can be reached if this movement has enough strength and courage. Actors Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, who played the main roles in this film, perfectly revealed the state of the soul of people wandering in the tunnels of space and time.
This film is very mysterious and beautiful. Its main character lives in 2004, and the heroine - in 2006. The only link between them is the mysterious inbox ...
"Love and other medicines"
The 2010 romantic comedy with drama elements, starring actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, tells the story of Viagra seller Jamie, who one day met a beautiful and confident girl Maggie, unfortunately suffering from Parkinson's disease.
Maggie avoids a serious relationship, lives one day and is not at all against sex without commitment. At first, Jamie was very happy with this, until he realized that he fell in love with Maggie seriously.
This is a tragicomedy that anyone, even an irresponsible person, can fall in love and become a real man, sensitive, understanding and caring.
"He and she"
The latest from today's list of interesting films about love with an exciting plot was a fairly new picture of "He and She," which was released in March 2017.
Maybe because this film is French, and maybe because "He and She" became the fruit of the joint work of Nicolas Bedos and his wife Doria Tillier, who played the main roles in their own picture, as a result, it turned out amazing, easy and very true a story showing forty-five years in the life of one couple. A life soaked in the romance of Paris and love, like a breath of fresh French air ...
