And then spoilers, the end of that movie is the guy being like, I don't even fucking care what reality is anymore.

But his takeaway is also like...

The energy of you as a person is who I want to be with and who I am in love with.

I'll work out whoever the fuck you actually are later.

Yeah.

Is kind of... Yeah.

No.

I think the unified lie is an underused power move.

Yeah.

And I think it's also because the best rom-coms are there is a circumstantial reason these two people need to be together.

There's a reason they can't leave.

This is like forged in fire.

And you can have the arc of like they're driving each other crazy and then they start to connect and then they realize their feelings and they hurt each other in a way that doesn't feel like, hey, why wouldn't you walk out the front door?

Why are you still bothering with this guy?

Right.

Once again, it's why the tagline's good because they meet.

They fucking know.

I mean, they get married.

Then they meet.

They don't exchange pleasantries until after they marry.
