this is why i can't do rom coms. I can't do suspension of belief long enough to be like "yeah this could totally happen". I watched "Before Sunrise" and could not fucking understand what was supposed to be romantic about hopping off a train with some random guy you met. NO ONE QUESTIONS IT EITHER. And it was released in 1995 so the whole "romantic" they may never see each other again thing is compounded by the fact that they actually really don't have any way to ever reunite. how is that romantic?? i don't know. that's not really relevant to the point of your post but along the vein of watching movies and not being able to get into them at all because their fundamental premise is 100% flawed
