Research on two other films

So, today I wanted to get information on the different companies which have produced films under the romantic comedy umbrella. Moreover, I wanted to see how successful they have become through the years. This will then give me the opportunity to see in greater detail how the plot line can be modified in a way in which it makes a story distinctive from others in the same genre. For instance, Columbia Pictures is a production company that has made many romantic comedies and has made an eclectic range of other movies coming from different genres. Yet this is one of the few companies that has made the most successful romantic movies.

    One of its most successful was When Harry Met Sally, this movie is about Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) who take a trip from Chicago to New York, and during that time period had an argument about it being possible men and women being friends. Little do they know they encounter each other coincidently ten years later at a bookstore, where the romance begins from there. The movie itself made over $90 millions dollars. 

   Another movie that became well known by Columbia Pictures is Maid in Manhattan featuring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes. The story is of a woman named Marisa who works as a maid in an extremely luxurious hotel in Manhattan, Christopher Marshall who is a wealthy man that is staying in the hotel falls for Marisa thinking she is someone else. This movie made approximately $154.9 million dollars. 

   These two movies had a very special element, which seemed to be the reason why it did so well. When Harry Met Sally  tackles a question which has been questioned by many. Can a boy and a girl really be friends? In addition to this, each character has internal conflicts which is further developed as the plot continues. This sort of conflicts that each character holds from within, is what allows a story that can be said to be cliché be completely unique from others seen in cinema. On the other hand, Maid in Manhattan tackles a very delicate topic which is the minority seen in the U.S ,in further detail it portrays Latin American women having to work rigorous jobs to maintain their family. Even though the message is indirectly said, it is the pivotal element which makes it different from other productions. 

  This is the type of component that saw repetitively seen in successful romantic comedies which I hope to have in my own two minute opening.
