Line 1: {{trope}} {{quote\|''The limit of the [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief]] for a given element is directly proportional to how romantic it is.''}} No, this is not about the 19th century artistic movement, but about how fiction deals with love. And just like [[Rule of Cool]], [[Rule of Drama]], [[Rule of Funny]], and [[Rule of Scary]], if something is considered romantic enough by the audience, it can be excused, not matter how unrealistic it is. This is entertainment, after all. Line 10: Compare [[Rule of Drama]], [[Rule of Glamorous]], [[Rule of Sexy]]. [[Sub -Trope\|Sub Tropes]] include: * [[Abduction Is Love]] Line 20: * [[Held Gaze]] * [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] * [[Last -Minute Hookup]] * [[Literally Falling in Love]] * [[Love Transcends Spacetime]] Line 29: * [[Twirl of Love]] * [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] * [[You Don't Want to Die Aa Virgin, Do You?]] {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * In'' [[~~Chobits (Manga)\|~~Chobits]]'', Hideki cannot have sex with ~~Chi -- ever~~Chi—ever. He doesn't care because he still loves her. == [[Film]] == * ''[[WALL-E]]''. How is it that {{spoiler\|EVE's kiss restores WALL-E's memories and personality}}? Well, [[All There in the Manual\|the Buy'n'Large website]] (sadly defunct as of October 2008) explicitly [[Hand Wave~~\|Hand Waved~~]]d this: "''Your WALL-E unit may take up to 10 minutes on first boot before scanning for additional operating software (eg. hazardous waste protocols).''" But if you have any soul, you wouldn't need an explanation. * I always figured that it was because {{spoiler\|the electric spark that shot into him at the moment of the kiss jolted his systems a bit.}} * The Meet Me In Montauk part from ''[[Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind]]''. While it makes sense that he'd be able to hold onto that shred, how did ''she'' end up on the right train? Totally doesn't matter. ** The mind wipe hadn't been completely effective on her either, as made obvious by her scenes with Patrick. * About half the works in the [[Disney Animated Canon]], at least until recently. Then again, [[Grandfather Clause\|the stories they were based on used this anyway]], like ''[[Beauty and ~~The Beast (Disney)\|Beauty and The~~the Beast]]''. == [[Live Action TV]] == Line 55 ⟶ 54: [[Category:Laws and Formulas]] [[Category:Romance Novel Tropes]] [[Category:~~index~~Index]] [[Category:Rule Ofof Romantic]] [[Category:Alliterative Trope Titles]]
