If your relationship seems to be teetering on the edge, and you’re just one heartfelt rom-com away from calling it quits, maybe it’s best to steer clear of Netflix for now. The latest film “The Life List” has reportedly left quite a mark on couples who thought they were in for an ordinary movie night. And I’m afraid the impact wasn’t exactly positive.
The Life List” narrates the story of Alex Rose (played by Sofia Carson), who experiences the loss of her mother, Elizabeth (portrayed by Connie Britton). Upon reading her will, Alex learns that to claim her inheritance, she must fulfill every item on a list her mother made when she was 13 years old – a bucket list called “The Life List”. Tasks such as getting a tattoo or performing at a comedy club are relatively straightforward. However, the final item on the list – “find true love” – presents more complex challenges. This element is instrumental in propelling the story towards its heartwarming resolution.
It’s still open to debate: Can a romantic comedy truly possess such powerful emotional impact as to shatter real-life relationships? As reported by Sofia Carson to Entertainment Weekly, the filmmaker Adam Brooks frequently shared that many viewers would confide in him about breaking up with their partners or making significant life changes, like quitting jobs, following screenings of the movie.
Do movies really have that much of an impact?
This film made me reflect on my future, even about choosing my future partner and especially about the strained relationship with my mother.” Another user, irerr24, commented: “I just watched The Life List movie and it was fantastic, it inspires me to make changes in my life,” while icy_gwen4bella added: “The Life List on Netflix has raised my standards. It’s a perfect 10/10 film, so good and enlightening!!!
Although these fans may not openly admit leaving their partners immediately after closing Netflix, it certainly appears that the idea has been subtly suggested. Moreover, if you doubt movies can influence real-life actions, consider this interesting tidbit: The release of “Fast and Furious” films in cinemas corresponds with a rise in speeding tickets. As a researcher from Harvard Medical School explained to the New York Post, “We observe an increase in average speed, suggesting that these movies tend to make people who are already inclined to speed drive even faster.
As a devoted movie enthusiast, I must admit to the speeding ticket incident, but finding a rom-com as the catalyst for a genuine relationship’s demise seems rather far-fetched – especially a sturdy one. To be honest, the tagline “this movie will make you break up with your girlfriend” appears more of a clever marketing strategy than an actual outcome. It’s somewhat like the horror genre’s hype: “This horror flick is causing people to vomit in theaters,” as seen recently with the “Terrifier” series. However, it seems effective. The figures don’t lie: “The Life List” has been dominating Netflix’s Top 10 list.
