ANY LOVE STORY IS BEAUTIFUL. BUT OURS IS MY FAVORITE.
Last summer, she was walking through Neskuchny Garden and taking photographs for her portfolio, and he accidentally fell into the lens of her camera - he was riding a skateboard in the park. Seeing a beautiful young girl, the guy approached her, or rather rode up on his board... This is how my friends Oksana and Oleg met. I learned this story a few weeks ago - at their wedding. They filmed a very beautiful love story based on their meeting... It was clear that the guys had thoroughly prepared for the filming of this video. By the way, a love story or a romantic story today will decorate any wedding, and not only - for young people this is an opportunity to share something of their own with family and friends - intimate, to open the door to their life. And after many years, you, and especially your children, will be very interested in watching this video.
Today I want to share with you the secrets of a crazy love story = )
Let's first understand what a love story is. Firstly, it could be a story about how you met, but don’t take it literally; you don’t have to reproduce all the details of the meeting in detail. Let's look at what your love story could be.
“Moscow doesn’t believe in tears”, 1979
Vladimir Menshov’s film is loved not only in Russia - “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears” is included in the top 100 best films of all time according to IMDB (the American Kinopoisk). Why should you rewatch your parents' favorite movie? The very phrase “Everything didn’t work out right away, Moscow wasn’t built right away” gives new strength. Alexandra’s story really energizes me for the whole week. Don’t count the number of times you watch the scene of our heroine’s meeting with Gosha (aka Goga) - draw new conclusions and believe in true love.
"Exchange Holiday", 2006
We love Cameron Diaz's cashmere sweaters in this film almost more than its plot. “Superwoman” Amanda Woods pushes away yet another useless boyfriend and gets involved in an adventure - swapping houses for a couple of weeks with a funny British stranger in the person of Kate Winslet. You already guessed it - Amanda will fall in love with her brother, and Kate’s heroine will fall in love with a Californian, so what’s surprising? The peculiarity of Nancy Meyers' film is the feeling of lightness, freedom and tact in the relationship between a man and a woman. We advise you to review everything at once.
"Easy Virtue", 2008
We warn you - the title has nothing to do with the tape itself. In the original, the film is called Easy Vertue (translated rather as “Easy Strength”). Before “Easy Virtue,” film fans did not know the Australian director Stefan Elliott. Stefan worked on arthouse musicals that had one thing in common: strong-willed and stylish heroines with platinum curls. In the film, the heroine is exactly like this: Larita (Jessica Bill) shrugs her shoulders proudly, wears red lipstick, laughs loudly and makes every man she meets fall in love with her (including her husband’s father, Colin Firth’s character). Why do you need to love her? According to the story, this American girl from a simple working-class family led the public and won a car race. The brave Larita was noticed by an Englishman of blue blood, John, who married and brought her to his native estate. Larita knows how to behave in an original, but correct way - for example, she competently and easily responds to John’s mother’s barbs (and wears backless dresses so confidently that her mother doesn’t have any barbs left). The film helps to reconsider your attitude towards yourself and proudly “straighten your back” in the literal and figurative sense (Larita holds her so straight that it is impossible to slouch).
"Ghost", 1990
What to do if your loved one is a phantom? Kiss him until he flies away! Demi Moore's tears and Patrick Swayze's sad eyes add drama to the kiss. We can imagine how awkward Whoopi Goldberg felt (the actress played a medium - literally helping the ghost and his beloved find each other's lips). We forgive Jerry Zucker's drama for the awkward special effects of the 90s and watch the film over and over again - to shed tears and hug a loved one.
"The Notebook", 2004
We cry even at the screensaver - because we remember both the crying Gosling and the story of eternal love. Unrestrained kisses in an abandoned house or the second option - Ellie, Noah, juicy lipstick and ice cream. Everyone has their favorite moment in The Notebook. The story attracts us with a mixture of the real and the dreamy: that is, you definitely had a similar youthful romance, and tears, and kisses, but that dashing guy never became your husband (and thank God).
"Tenderness", 2011
Audrey Tautou, in the image of a strict boss, kisses a sloppy subordinate and immediately forgets about him. The tall and hulking Swede, on the contrary, immediately falls in love with a petite Parisian woman and makes romantic plans. They live as if on two different planets: she drinks espresso from porcelain cups and rarely smiles, he dines on meatballs and lives with his parents in an apartment furnished with furniture from Ikea. Directors David and Stefan Fenkinos decided to show this story to everyone who is hesitant about simple tenderness because life is too serious. Workaholics like the heroine Audrey will like it, or dreamers who will find their character traits in the charming Swede.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's", 1961
Is this story similar to reality? Yes, if you don't take into account the ending. But “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is called the most beautiful love story precisely because of it. And in the film you will forever remember Henry Mancini’s soul-tearing melody about the lunar road (which is longer than a mile), as well as the kind squint of John Peppard’s icy eyes and the drops of rain and tears on Audrey Hepburn’s face... And the question: why do Holly and Paul always kiss Is it difficult to watch without a dozen napkins? Probably because in each of us there lives a girl who wants to eat croissants and look at Tiffany's diamonds, but not quite decide on a real relationship.
"Notting Hill", 1999
Indications for viewing: fatigue, a difficult week, disappointment in love and the desire to fall “face-first into the pillow.” Active ingredients: Julia Roberts in bold tops (and French braids), Hugh Grant, the “doll-like” London district of Notting Hill and nostalgic hits from 1999 (Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone by Lighthouse, for example). The plot is like in “Roman Holiday”: the famous actress Anna Scott walks around London in search of peace of mind and looks at travel books in a bookshop. The owner turns out to be gray-eyed Hugh Grant in the prime of his life. Hugh didn’t immediately understand who he was selling the guide to Istanbul to – that’s why Anna liked him.
You need to watch “Notting Hill” for the sake of: 1) the feeling that everything will turn out as it should; 2) Julia Roberts's intelligent smile and apt phrases; 3) Hugh Grant’s masterfully confused look (while the actor never ceases to look sexy).
"Boyfriend from the Future", 2013
This film did not gain fame in Russia due to a rash translation of the title. In fact, the film has a complex and beautiful name - About Time (“About Time” or “About Tim” - that’s the name of the main character). The plot is philosophical: a red-haired Englishman learns that he can travel through time. His father also has the same gift - he went back in time to have time to read all of Charles Dickens. Tim chose a different goal - he decided to find true love at all costs. Tim and Mary (Rachel McAdams) would have been the end of the run-of-the-mill chick flick, but About Time moves on. To fall in love with this film for the rest of your life, you need to watch it until the end – in the end you will find a unique and important conclusion about happiness.
"It started in Naples", 1960
Firstly, Sophia Loren plays the main role (need I say that aesthetic pleasure is guaranteed?). Secondly, the action takes place against the backdrop of Naples landscapes. Thirdly, the plot is ironic, but not banal: the heroine Sophie Lucia works as a dancer in a bar and watches over her beloved nephew Nandu. The boy's uncle from California, lawyer Michael (Clark Gable), appears in Naples and dreams of taking Nanda to America. This tug of war is accompanied by jokes, songs, dances, and kisses from the impeccable Gable and Lauren. In 1961, the film won an Oscar for Best Artwork. Girls with an artistic taste will appreciate rich Italian colors, surreal scenes and innovative plans for the 60s.
"One Day", 2011
Emma and Dexter take turns falling in love. First, the heroine Anne Hathaway, wearing thick glasses, dreams of a date with a poor student in the guise of Jim Sturgess, then - on the contrary (and of course, with each scene, Anne's makeup gets better and better). Every kiss from the indecisive heroes is like a start button for goosebumps and tears. Different goals in life, a guy’s bad hairstyle and distances were overcome by love - why not a happy ending of dreams.
14 positive women's films for the weekend
"Funny Face", 1957
50 years before La La Land there was Funny Face. Why should you see this musical? Audrey Hepburn in airy Givenchy dresses (the couturier Hubert himself sent them to the actress) + Fred Astaire's serenade under the balcony and step dance to Gershwin's music - what a formula for a happy evening! The storyline is simple, like most musicals, but its “design” is different: Audrey in a beige trench coat waves to us from the third level of the Eiffel Tower, stops traffic at the Arc de Triomphe for the famous shoot with a pile of balloons, runs along the steps of the Louvre in a scarlet dress in floor. If you are going to Paris, the film will inspire you to take romantic walks around the city and unusual photos for Instagram.
"Romeo and Juliet", 1968
Our parents watched the classic Shakespeare adaptation every time it came on TV. And they still show it - every February 14th. Summary of “Romeo and Juliet” – open kisses mixed with enthusiastic smiles. For a 1968 film and a love story of “Victorian teenagers” - go for it! It feels like you're watching a new Dolce & Gabbana ad. Instead of Bianca Balti - young Olivia Hussey with peony blush. Instead of Sicilian landscapes and tanned David Gandy - the gardens of Verona and curly-haired Leonard Whiting with a Bambi look.
"Breathless", 1960
We have written about Jean Seberg's pixie haircut, graphic winged wings and plump lips more than once. If you're not already in love with this actress, you haven't seen the kiss scene from Jean-Luc Godard's film. If female characters don't excite you, watch a young Jean-Paul Belmondo as car thief Michel. Hero kisses will make you breathe less quickly for a second.
Practical advice for choosing a script
Where to get ideas for a romantic photo shoot? Many people face this problem when planning their first shoot. After all, on the Internet you can find a lot of interesting stories and beautiful photographs taken by professional models. But when you try to repeat this in real life, you can get an unpleasant surprise.
And here is the first tip. You should not try to achieve exactly the same pictures as in gloss. All professional photos, no matter how beautiful they look, are only a well-executed task assigned to the models.
Tip two. Choose a plot that is close to your couple. If the scenario involves skills and emotions that are unusual for lovers, then it will be difficult to bring it to life. Not every person can play a role that is uncharacteristic for him well.

Tip three. Remember your soul mate. As a rule, most of the preparation is undertaken by one person, the organizer. He or she chooses the plot and poses, and the other half only agrees to bring everything to life. But do not forget about the abilities of a loved one. After all, he or she is a non-professional model, and it may not be possible to play feelings or a role that is far from a person’s real life.
