Have you noticed how recent films increasingly base love and attraction on physical appearance?

Or it's either the female lead is a c@ll girl, or the male lead is a rude, reckless character. Then, all of a sudden, he becomes kind, not because he has grown as a person, not because he has learned empathy or developed emotionally — but simply because he likes the girl.

Does that even make sense?

So if he didn't like her, he wouldn't have treated her with kindness?

Kindness is a basic human virtue. It shouldn't suddenly appear because someone is attractive to you.

Yet that's the plot we keep seeing: he's rude to everyone else, but once he falls for the female lead, he becomes a completely different person. No real character development. No meaningful transformation. Just overnight change.

Then there's the way attraction itself is portrayed.

The first thing we're constantly told is how beautiful she is. Her figure. Her body. Her "packaging." The camera lingers on her appearance, and the dialogue emphasis on it.

Rarely do these stories dwell on other qualities that make people lovable — something like character, intelligence, resilience, compassion, humour, wisdom, or conviction. Physical appearance is always carrying the weight of attraction far more than anything else.

Whether you people admit it or not, I believe this contributes to the pressure many young women feel to alter their bodies.

Notice how many new actresses appear in one or two films, and by the next time you see them, they've already had cosmetic surgery.

Why? To remain competitive. To fit an industry standard. To increase their chances of getting lead roles.

Young girls watching these films aren't blind. They can begin to think, "Maybe this is what I need too." Those who can't afford it start saving toward it. Others become dissatisfied with their perfectly healthy bodies because they keep seeing one particular image celebrated.

Another recurring issue is the way prõstitut!on is handled.

I'm not saying every film does this, but a significant number of movies revolve around it.

So I have to ask:

Are these films trying to reflect reality that hóók up is the leading lifestyle now?

Are they trying to expose the dangers of it?

Or are they unintentionally romanticizing it?

Because many of these stories don't spend enough time showing the emotional, psychological, and physical consequences. Instead, the plot often ends with someone falling in love with the girl, rescuing her, and everyone living happily ever after.

That paints a dangerously unrealistic picture because this rarely happens.

A young girl watching such stories might begin to believe that próstitut!on is now another route to falling in love, finding a wealthy man, escaping poverty, and eventually getting married.

But reality is far more complicated, and often more tragic.

Stories influence culture.

The narratives we repeatedly celebrate shape what people normalize, aspire to, and imitate.

Entertainment doesn't have to become rigid, but the Woods should at least be cautious of the ideas they repeatedly reinforce on screens.

This is not about "it's not that deep." 

It's also about the kinds of dreams we're quietly planting in the minds of the next generation.

Shalom.
