    The number one thing a man in a romcom needs, TV or movie, is the ability to look at their love interest REALLY WELL. The man barely even needs to speak if he just knows how LOOK at a person.

        Alanna. Have you watched Sweet Home Alabama with commentary? Because they talk extensively about Josh Lukas's eyes and how important a tenth of a second is at one point.

        This reminds me of how subtle (yet immediately noticeable) the differences are between staring at someone, looking at someone and studying someone. I think it's really powerful and attractive when a love interest is studying your face, as if a clue might suddenly appear. https://twitter.com/AlannaBennett/status/979018396670054400 …

        See, I don’t think it translates exactly. It CAN, but it’s not as steadfast a principle when it comes to women in romcoms. Probably bc it’s one of the rare genres where women consistently have more to DO, more to SAY, more to EXPRESS.https://twitter.com/balovric/status/979028801698127873?s=21 …

        It’s kind of powerful when men in romcoms don’t have to take up a lot of space to get the point across. We don’t need them to talk as much. (Should be noted this is not an entirely ironed out theory. It’s still ~developing~)

        I genuinely do not mean to drag this thread out, but something's on TV rn that's reminding me: A key part of the look is EDITING my first 👀 to any bubbling-up love interest usually comes from a Look² — the CAMERA's gaze hyper-focusing on a CHARACTER's look.pic.twitter.com/c00YJx2zJg

        A Look² is really easy to spot: Just look for any moment where the camera's cutting to a character in moments where it doesn't SEEM narratively necessary to see that person's face. They're doing that for a R E A S O N

        This whole thread is also why it stresses me out to watch things with people who are spending lots of time not looking AT the screen, because so much of my enjoyment of the narrative comes from the seemingly-throwaway visual cues

        Sorry to add to this AGAIN but it's striking me on rewatch just HOW much Notting Hill lives on the way Julia looks at Hugh. Not even the way he looks at her, because the TOPIC is the way the world looks at her. But the ROMANCE is the charm in her eyes looking at HIM.pic.twitter.com/eIIju74PJT
