He's Not Romantic, He's a Walking RED FLAG...

Movies have been selling us the same love story for years… and it’s not as romantic as it looks. From characters like Nate Jacobs in Euphoria to Hardin in After, Edward in Twilight, Noah in The Notebook and Massimo in 365 Days, some of the most iconic “romantic” male leads are built on obsession, control, manipulation and emotional chaos, but the way these stories are written and filmed makes it feel like love....

In this video, I break down the most common toxic male tropes in movies and TV shows, from the emotional rollercoaster to the control freak, and explain how Hollywood turns red flags into something desirable. We’ll look at how these characters are framed, why audiences continue to romanticise them, and how this idea of love keeps getting repeated across film and TV.

If you love movies, acting, or complaining about the state of Hollywood, this one’s for you!
