@swsource​ one year celebration: Day 1 - Tropes

↳ Opress brothers tropes

[technothewitcher]

What’s the name of that storytelling trope where they show a big and important scene in the beginning only to stop and the story would begin from the beginning building up to that important scene again?

I know we all laugh at the “ugly duckling takes her glasses off and suddenly everyone notices her” trope. But like it happens. I always have my hair tied at school, cuz I feel it’s more comfortable for me and all. Today, I decided to let it lose. All my friends and a bunch of other girls would say “Wow, you look amazing with you’re hair like this!”. And a couple of boys went “You look,... different”. Everyone was nicer to me today. It was really weird.

My favourite movie trope ever is when character A reveals something groundbreaking to character B and it just cuts away to a POV where you cant hear any sound, like from behind an interrogation room mirror, but can distinctly see character B lose their shit and just start screaming and yelling while character A just stands there awkwardly.

Even better if there are third party characters just watching character B go apeshit.

December 9: X-mas romcom tropes we’ve encountered to date

This is a light-handed post today because I’m too busy to write a full review. Here’s an incomplete glossary of tropes featured in the blog so far along.

Good With Kids: A plot device where the romantic leads, usually the male but occasionally the female, interacts with children so they can show that they’re a competent caregiver (foreshadowing marriage and children, obv).Often shows the female lead gazing adoringly from afar. See: A Christmas Prince, Christmas With A Prince, many upcoming.

Just Quit Your Job Already: Any point at which the female lead’s career is in direct conflict with her love life or her male love interest. Includes being a workaholic, working for a competitor, being a journalist, or working somewhere that might transfer her away from where he is. See: A Christmas Prince, A Christmas Wedding Planner, A Christmas Dogwalker’s Tale, and MANY upcoming.

Men Are Talking: Any point at which the male romantic lead and his foil - another male who is interested in the female lead, but who won’t end up with her in the end - make decisions about the fate of the woman they claim to love. Is shown through the two men arguing, physically fighting, sabotaging or manipulating each other, or making decisions about her without consulting her or taking her desires into account. See: A Christmas Belle, Christmas Crush.

This Hurts Me More Than it Hurts You: When one romantic lead, usually the male, is verbally or emotionally (VERY rarely physically) abusive to the other, usually the female, because they can’t cope with the fact that they’re in love or regulate the complicated emotions involved with falling in love. See: A Christmas Belle, several upcoming.

Save Christmas For the Locals: When something happens that threatens to ruin a Christmas tradition, often an annual Christmas festival or ball, in a small town or other close-knit group of people. The romantic lead, male or female or both of them, has to intervene to make sure the Christmas tradition goes off without a hitch. See Spirit of Christmas, A Dogwalker’s Christmas Tale, A Christmas Belle, A Christmas Wedding Planner if you count the wedding as the event, and many more upcoming movies.

She Doesn’t Like Him At First: Occurs when the female romantic lead is predisposed to dislike the male romantic lead for an established reason in order to increase tension and provide him the challenge of pursuing her and winning her over. See: A Christmas Prince, Christmas with a Prince, A Dogwalker’s Christmas Tale, A Christmas Wedding Planner, and many others upcoming.

Socialism Doesn’t Work - Unless It’s Christmas: When pooling resources and organizing labor for the public good is only socially acceptable in the two weeks leading up to Christmas. Often includes the public coming together to Save Christmas For the Locals or rescue a character or business from financial Ruin. See A Dogwalker’s Christmas Tale, A Christmas Belle, and others upcoming.

I will update this list as I find new tropes, but this is a solid start. I can’t wait to encounter even more of these.

The movie trope of the troubled boy who never played catch with their dad is the worst trope. I’ve never seen one serial killer documentary where the guy was butt hurt at his dad for never having a game of catch. Mommy issues, on the other hand...

Why Do Movies Make Bad Guys Have Horrible Aim? 

[faithfamilyfilms]

A violin, a car, and a gun are the key players in these three films. I watched ‘The Red Violin’ (1998) last night which follows a violin from its creation in Italy in 1681 across three continents and three centuries – showing the lives it touches along the way. It reminded me of ‘The Yellow Rolls-Royce’ (1964) which tells the story of three different owners of the same vehicle, though over a much shorter period (mainly 1930s & 40s). Following this theme of a connecting object I was reminded of Winchester ’73, which follows the journey of a limited edition rifle in the late 1800s, and discovered two films I have never seen – ‘Tales of Manhattan’ (1942), about a coat, and perhaps the earliest example; ‘Adventures of a 10 Mark Note’ (Germany – 1926). Can you suggest any others? I enjoyed ‘The Red Violin’, the music (which won an Oscar) is wonderful and the first two acts are very powerful. Thank you to @brooklynfilmfanatic for bringing it to my attention and @planetmanny for endorsing the recommendation. It’s on Amazon Prime in the UK. . . . . . . . #Violin #TheRedViolin #Italy #TheYellowRollsRoyce  #Winchester73 #Rollsroyce #winchesterrifle #TalesofManhattan #Adventuresofa10MarkNote #Germanfilm #Oscar #AmazonPrime #redviolin #violonrouge #filmfan #moviebuff #cinema #movietrope #maguffin #movietheme https://www.instagram.com/p/CCDRdjAl8Vv/?igshid=4eeg265feme5
