Romantic Movies....[sigh]

I chose the movie Center Stage because it is the only romantic movie I have here in Columbia, and it is one of my favorites. For the record though, the first and only movie that came to mind when this assignment was announced was The Notebook, my ALL time favorite movie, and I'm upset that I don't have my copy with me so I could do that one.
The movie is about getting into the American Ballet Company, and the struggles along the way. The main character, Jody has bad feet, but is all heart. She wants to be a dancer more than anything and hers are the struggles the movie focuses on more. She falls for a professional dancer but he turns out to be a jerk. The other main characters must manage their ambitions, romances and heartbreaks, and prove to Jonathan, the ballet companies artistic director, that they are the best and worthy to become prefects in his company.
The best romantic scene in Center Stage, I would have to say, is when Maureen goes back to Jim's after Eric falls during rehearsal and injures himself. She has been throwing up after eating to stay "in shape" for dancing, and Jim catches her. She's at his front door and asks him: "how much of what you liked about me was because I was a ballet dancer, and how much was because of me?"
I chose this scene over a couple of different ones because it was moving and real. What Maureen was going through is something a lot of girls face, and not just dancers. Jim loves her for it anyways, and stays and works with her to get better. I love how Maureen just puts herself out there in the scene and he just grabs her and hugs her in response. The scene is pretty similar to other romantic scenes in movies, with one slight difference, it deals with anorexia/bulimia and the life altering effects it has.
