"Falling in Love" Montage: Difference between revisions

Line 48:

** ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'' has a variation - while the montage is definetly one of these for Tiana and Naveen, the song itself (Ma Belle Evangeline) is about Ray's love for Evangeline.

** Invoked in ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]'' by the king [[I Want Grandkids|who wants grandkids.]] He sets up the perfect romantic scene and the Duke is describing how it would be.

{{quote|'''Duke''': Such a pretty picture, but in [[Real Life]], [[Subverted Trope|doomed for failure.]]

'''The King''': Failure eh?! [[Double Subverted|Take a look at that you pompous windbag!]] }}

** The song "A Whole New World" from ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]''.

Line 60:

* The beginning of the [[Pixar]] film ''[[Up]]'' has one where Carl falls in love with and marries Ellie... and it results in severe [[Mood Whiplash]] since Carl is a widower by the time the plot starts.

* ''[[Madea's Family Reunion]]'' has this with Vanessa and Frankie, and an inversion with Lisa and her abusive husband Carlos showing him abusing her.

* Once Lalita and Darcy got out for dinner in Los Angeles in ''[[Bride and Prejudice]]'' they really start to click.

* Eowyn and Faramir's relationship in the ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' films is cut down to this to save time. And it only appears in the Extended Edition!

* Parodied in ''[[Hot Shots]]''. One scene shows Topper and Ramada laughing and smiling as they exit a movie theater. The camera then pans up to the marquee to reveal that they had just finished watching the very depressing ''[[Platoon]]''.

Line 68:

* Like several other montage types, this is deconstructed for horror effect in ''[[Doctor Who]]'', "Forest of the Dead", in which we see Donna undergo a "Falling in Love" Montage only to find out that it ''actually happened that fast'', taking place in a virtual reality world which relies on the human brain mentally filling in the extra time to avoid confronting the constant disorientation.

* Parodied with Geraldine and Simon Horton in ''[[The Vicar of Dibley]]'', with scenes including a romantic picnic in which she stuffs an entire chocolate bar into her mouth and, most famously, a scene of them laughing and jumping in puddles which ends when one turns out to be about a meter deep.

* ''[[Mission Impossible]]'' intentionally avoided montages, but did use this type in a couple of episodes. One case, in "The Short-Tail Spy," was quite creative: it used a quick series of various locations and activities, but included dialogue that ran together to form a single, coherent conversation between the two characters.

* Parodied in the ''[[Blackadder]] II'' episode "Bells", where a "Falling in Love" Montage of Edmund and [[Sweet Polly Oliver|"Bob"]] turns into a commercial for an album of Elizabethan love songs.

* [[Affectionate Parody|Parodied]] and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] on [[Wizards of Waverly Place]] during Alex and Mason's first date.

* The ''[[Community]]'' episode "Origins of Vampire Mythology" has a pseudo-[[Falling In Love]] montage between Pierce and Chang after they try to become best friends. Then they get in a fight and there's a [[Lost Love Montage]]. ''Five minutes later.''

* Used hilariously as Tom both falls in love with Allison and teaches her how to kill vampires, all in the same montage, in [[Being Human (UK)]].

Line 80:

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* Kat and Alistair on [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=235 this page] of ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]''.

* ''[[Bug ~~(webcomic)~~|Bug]]'' [http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/love-lessons/ deconstructs this.]

* ''[[Bug Martini|Bug]]'' [http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/love-lessons/ deconstructs this.]

* In [[Homestuck]], Karkat has a falling-in-''hate'' montage with John. Of course, since humans don't work that way, it ends up going nowhere, much to Karkat's annoyance.

Line 91:

* This is played unusually straight in ''[[Futurama]]'' in ''Bender's Big Score'', to show Lars and Leela falling more and more in love. Admittedly as it is ''[[Futurama]]'', they play space golf and go floating in ''real'' giant bubbles, but apart from that, it's straight.

** And then there was Bender and Angeline.

** There's also Bender and the Planet Express Ship, who fall in love to Bender's rendition of "Daisy Bell" in [[Valentine's Day Episodes|"Love and Rocket."]] This is a slight inversion, though, because in the scene immediately following the montage, {{spoiler|Bender announces that he's dumping the ship.}}

* [[Classic Disney Shorts|Mickey and Minnie]] share [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SksaDsAHQyE&feature=channel_page a romantic montage] in ''[[Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers]]''. * Snort* As if we didn't already know where ''that'' was going.

* A lampshade was hung on this in an episode of ''Chilly Beach'': "Would you like to have a romantic montage with me?''
