In our movie opening, our main characters, Ricky and Scarlett, are involved in a toxic relationship. The opening challenges and appeases normal conventions in its portrayal of love and conflict because while it covers a commonly explored trope of a toxic relationships in the drama and thriller genre, which often they focus on unhealthy dynamics like manipulation or jealousy which we will be doing, we are also going above and beyond in our approach by centering the story over the toxic nature of their bond and illustrating how such relationships create internal and external conflict, which drives the rest of the story.
Our film also criticizes the normalcy of romanticizing the idea of love, many films portray love as this transformative and amazing force of happiness but because our film centers around abuse ad hate it critiques the idealization. Instead of presenting the perfect couple we present the darker side of relationships that appear to be perfect, showing how power imbalances, emotional abuse, or manipulation can manifest, offering a more critical perspective on love that is not really often seen.
Also, because we are focusing on Ricky and Scarlett relationship, we are also going to present broader social issues like gender dynamics, mental health, and the normalization of toxic behaviors in society. The power imbalance between the two and the need for Scarlett to slowly gain the strength needed to leave highlights societal expectations influence unhealthy relationship patterns and the portrayal of the psychological problems that come with being part of this type of relationship can take on both individuals can open a conversation about mental health struggles like anxiety or self-esteem issues. Ultimately, the film challenges societal norms by portraying the complexities and dangers of toxic relationships, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own perceptions of love and emotional well-being.
