Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~KissOut_3578~~KissOut 3578.jpg\|link=Slumdog Millionaire\|frame\|In a nutshell.]] [[Watching the Sunset\|The sun is setting.]] [[Held Gaze\|Two character gaze]] [[Longing Look\|longingly into each other's eyes.]] The camera shifts to a profiled two shot, with the setting sun shimmering between them in the background. Their faces now silhouettes, the characters move closer, slowly covering the sun until at last... their lips meet. Line 6: [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming\|D'awwww.]] A fairly common kiss, combining [[~~Heliotropes~~Solar Tropes\|the power of the sun]] with the [[Power of Love]]. Variations include kissing in front of the moon or some other light source, or holding each other without kissing. Expect lots and lots of [[Lens Flare]]. Interesting note: From a lighting standpoint, when the actors are backlit their faces are obscured or silhouetted. Once they kiss, they block out the light coming through, meaning the camera can finally see their faces. A kiss turning shadows into people... [[Rule of Symbolism\|There's something symbolic in that.]] Line 18: * ''[[Slumdog Millionaire]]'' has one {{spoiler\|in the last few seconds of the film}}. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVSwgbDoil4 Watch it here.] * In ''[[True Lies]]'', there's a variation involving Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzneggar. Instead of the sun, their kiss blocks out a nuclear explosion. * ''[[The Island]]'' Right before Lincoln Six Echo and Jordan Two Delta launch their rescue mission, they discuss what they'll do after, and then, Cue the [[Lip-Lock Sun-Block]]... == [[Live Action TV]] == * Gwen and Arthur's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzlv3nuT8WM&p=818B78C388FE7442&playnext=1&index=29 first kiss] in ''[[Merlin (TV series)\|Merlin]]''. Even those who dislike the ship are forced to admit that [[Big Damn Kiss\|it's a beautiful]], ''beautiful'' kiss. * In ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'', Ned and Chuck do this in a flashback to when they were kids. It's adorable. * ''[[The Monkees]]'' episode "One Man Shy" has this trope (Peter and [[Girl of the Week]], Valerie) during one of the romps to "I'm a Believer."
