Caught in a cliche: When life mimics the movies

  • サマリー

  • Every story you hear today could be ripped from the plotline of a Hollywood movie - from 'meet-cutes' to waking up with no memory of who you are. What it's like to live out a movie cliche, in real life.


    Forbidden Love. Justin was told he could only be with a Korean woman, and Sarah was told her future husband had to be Muslim. When they fell in love, they knew it would be a battle for acceptance.


    The Meet Cute. Couples in romantic comedies often meet in unconventional ways — by literally colliding into each other on the street, or locking eyes as they reach for the same book. But you don’t often see movies where the main characters fall in love in the hallway at the retirement home. Meet some speed-dating seniors at the Alderwood Retirement Centre in Witless Bay, N.L. who say it’s never too late to date.


    50 First Dates. Nesh Pillay has been dubbed the real-life 50 First Dates, but she says forgetting who and where you are is terrifying, and not at all like a rom-com.


    How the popularity of K-drama led to some strange typecasting in one man's dating life. With the rise of Korean dramas showcasing Asian men as chiselled, stoic dreamboats, Clement Goh noticed he started getting more matches on online dating apps. But that led to some weird expectations when he met up with women in person, leading him to question who he really is.


    Childhood friends....30 years later. Movies like Stand By Me and The Goonies show the intense bond of childhood friendship, but you never find out what happens after - did they stay friends? Did they go their separate ways? Trevor sits down with eight friends who grew up together in Terrace, B.C., to find out the secret to a 30-year friendship.
