Ramblin Man Reflections # 3 - Magical Bohemians and Where to Find Them
Romcoms are the worst kind of movies because they trivialize bohemian existences. In a rom-com, there was this guy who owned a travel bookstore and seemed miraculously to never be poor enough to want to eat his own books. He would have these meetings with his coworker about how much money they were losing, all while sipping from his premium store-bought hot chocolate.
Owning a travel bookstore! That's an amazing thing, but it's also a trivial one -- something that is never explained in the movie. And that makes it a tragedy because I was much more interested in how to run a travel bookstore than all the other romantic clap-trap that followed.
Another one, a guy riding a motorcycle, taking photos throughout Europe. That's amazing! How did he do it? Never explained.
I want a film called “The Practical Description of Magical Bohemians”.
At this point, you're wondering why I've spent so much time watching romantic comedies.
That, my dear reader, is a trivial question left for a different Ramblin Man Reflection.
