Personally, I do not understand furious love and commitment to films of this genre. If life is boring you, your everyday life is monotonous and not full of emotionality, look really better drama.

How can such movies make you show the most intimate and vivid emotions and show the spiritual world? If our reality presents such surprises at times, that there is something to worry about, why do it in vain?
