By this time, we’ve only been accustomed to certain Hollywood romantic archetypes.
Young, cute couples who don’t mind posting about their rapidly growing romance on social media, co-stars who have discreet on-set relationships while being looked into for adultery, and an elderly man in his sixties or seventies who is openly romancing a young, beautiful woman half his age are all examples. Instead of opposing these paradigms, we see them passively and accept them as usual.
