Why are romantic movies full of so many toxic relationship ideals?
I've been noticing recently that many famous and beloved romantic movies are full of these incredibly toxic behaviors, and am curious why they are so popular. For instance not taking no for an answer, in almost every romantic movie, the guy gets rejected at first, but keeps trying, eventually to "win" the girl over. The worst example of this is the Notebook, where he threatens to commit suicide unless the girl goes out with him. Many consider that movie to be the most romantic movie of all time, and I just want to know why?
