“Most love stories focus on romance; a valid choice, being the most saleable part of such a story. It works so well because it follows all the needs for story: it starts, it complicates, it has a satisfactory ending (or the opposite, if a tragedy — and therefore a negative example which still supports the same example) . People want to live or relive such stories, whether they are 17 or 70.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis, of course, is a different tale: one which illustrates love in a more whole fashion. Love is not just romance, desire, passion and payoff (though it may well include all those things). Real love lasts longer than any of those, and therefore include elements that donu0026#39;t go so well with bright colors and swelling music: endurance, understanding, and shared connections. But itu0026#39;s also likely to include disappointments and even shocking betrayals, which doesnu0026#39;t make an easily appreciated story; viewers may well respond that these are the moments theyu0026#39;d rather not dwell on.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDanzin med Regitze doesnu0026#39;t sugar-coat things: people arenu0026#39;t always at their best, and they will fall short of the hopes they lay on each other. And yet, they may also move past those things. Long-term love isnu0026#39;t like that of youth. This isnu0026#39;t romantic, but it is real. That deserves to be in movies too, and here it is — if you can find it.”
