Online dating movies
reflect modern tendencies and trend in the Internet, i.e. appearance of
online dating
services.
They help people from all the world to be closer and find each other.
Due to globalization, the world has changed into "global village", the
Internet has already reduced the distances among people.
The directors have received a great niche that may be filled for a long
time. The theme is new and modern; it gives many plots and stories that
can be interpreted in absolutely opposite ways.
One of the first famous online dating movies is
You've
Got Mail.
It was released in 1998. One man and one woman began to communicate via
email. They tell each other about their problems and thoughts, share
plans and aspirations without saying any facts about
themselves
(names, place of work, address etc). In real life, these two people
know each other, they meet every day, but they are enemies and
competitors. The man has opened a great bookstore that made the woman
to close her little one. They don't bear each other, but at
online dating site
they are friends. The film ends with their meeting and beginning
romantic relationship.
Euro Trip (2004) is also one of the online dating
movies; it is
a youth comedy. The main character from the USA has found a beautiful
girl from Europe (Germany) by means of
online
dating
services. He communicates with her sending emails; once he receives an
invitation to meet, but his younger brother decides that this person is
a man because the nickname was Mike (tip: it is better not to have such
ambiguous nicknames in one's
profile
to avoid the similar misunderstanding in future). The hero rejects the
invitation but afterward he finds out that Mike is she. He and his
friends go to Europe to find this girl, but the way turns out to be
long and funny.
Among others online dating movies are
Napoleon Dynamite
(2003),
Must Love Dogs (2005),
Another
Gay Movie (2006),
Because I Said So
(2007).
