"Nearly every film has a love story." Post exceptions.

[mitchellicious]

Obviously there are exceptions to the rule. But the majority of films, when broken down to their base materials are love stories.

What's your opinion?

EDIT: Changed the thread title for the party poopers.

EDIT: Changed the title again. Curse you guys and your logic.

That's why I put "obviously there are exceptions" in my first post.

But almost every Hollywood film you can name from the 30's onwards has some type of love story/element in the plot.

The first Street Fighter movie was not a love story.

Majority? Yeah, sure, some more difficult to argue for than others, but I can accept that.

 

[salviboy7]

you're right, never thought about that.

Well, in any movie there's going to be characters that care about each other in some sort of way.  It doesn't have to be the main focus though.

Just because it's an element of the plot doesn't make the film itself a love story. 
Do a lot of films contain a love story element? Yes. Do all films contain a love story element? No. Is every film a love story? Hell no.

I'm gonna go ahead and change the thread title to "Nearly every film has an underlying love story as an element of the plot. Vol. YOLO"
