If you don’t like the typical romantic tapes, here are some great alternatives

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and like every year, the date is accompanied by an avalanche of hearts and chocolate. For those who are in a relationship, there is lots of presents, roses and lists of romantic movies to watch together. But what about those who prefer to avoid the party or who simply do not have a partner to share this day with? For those people, I’ve created this list with bands that have an opposite theme to those we usually see on this very important date:

Lobster

  • This tape shows us a dystopian future where people are required by law to have a partner.
  • His argument emulates that feeling we’ve all had at some point when they keep asking us when we’re going to get a partner and takes it to extremes.
  • Protagonized by a great collin farrell and a cast of highly memorable supporting characters who bring this depressing parallel reality to life.
  • Lobster shows all the wrong things about relationships and how terrible it is to force yourself to love someone.

Kill Bill

Many of you may be surprised to see this classic Tarantinobut it is that Kill Bill is, in essence, the story of a woman who seeks revenge on her ex.. To say that your former partner was toxic is to be far from the truth and he deserves everything Uma Thurman’s character wants to do to him. Register It starts with a wedding dress and ends with around 40 murders.so it’s perfect for that anti-Valentine’s list.

Fatal attraction

fatal attraction
  • This band is the predecessor of the recent series of romances gone wrong, like Gone Girl.
  • Fatal Attraction takes the female psychopath stereotype to the extreme.
  • The film plays very well with appearances and makes it clear that we cannot trust them.

missing girl

missing girl

Speaking of missing girl, this film is one of the first that I thought of starting with the list. I remember the first time I saw her My blood ran cold in my veins when I saw how cold and calculating its protagonist is.. The whole plot revolves around the suspicion that Nick killed his wife, Amy. Bit by bit, we see the chilling reality behind the events of the production.

let me out

let me out
  • This tape starts with a young couple who seem very much in love.
  • Chris and Rose are on their way to see his family. in his country house.
  • We will quickly see that all this is false, implying a very disturbing history of racism.
  • let me out This is one of those movies that puts “perfect” couples in a very bad place.

A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)

a tram called desire

White he belongs to a rather wealthy but very rancid southern family. Due to certain circumstances, the young woman is forced to move to New Orleans to live with her sister and her husband Stanley. The friction between her and her brother-in-law gradually increases until an inevitable explosion that destroys the protagonist’s relationship with his sister.

The witch of love

the witch of love
  • The plot of this tape is quite simple: Elaine is a witch who casts spells to attract and seduce various men..
  • Throughout the plot, he meets other people with whom he shares very thoughtful dialogues.
  • It all ends when she finds the man of her dreams and the protagonist’s passion overflows, driving her to the abyss of madness.
  • Its aesthetic makes it look like a film from the 70s or 80s, which gives it a very interesting touch.
  • It should also be noted that the director was inspired by feminist theories to write the screenplay, but manages to integrate it in a very organic way.

Promising young woman

promising young woman

Carey Mulligan stars as Cassie, a young woman leading a bizarre double life.. During the day he works in a cafe and at night hunts down men seeking to take advantage of drunk or even drugged women. The story he tells is heartbreaking and shows all the evil that even the “best” people hide. Promising young woman it’s a band hard to swallow, but goes perfectly with the anti-valentine theme.

500 days of summer

500 days of summer
  • I’m always surprised to find this movie on romantic movie lists or tops.
  • In my view, the plot of 500 Days of Summer shows a protagonist who idealizes lovebut it comes up against harsh reality.
  • I believe that many people are wrong to see it and they sympathize too much with Tomthe character of Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
  • Really, Summer He doesn’t hurt her, he alone creates completely unrealistic expectations for their relationship and ends up breaking her heart.
  • That being said, he has great performance and beautiful soundtrack, so you can’t miss it.
