Perhaps I should. I have certainly got a level of inspiration back from this revelation.
I was thinking more along the lines of Pride and Prejudice, or The Princess Bride personally.
[wait]
... Wouldn't you have had to see the Notebook yourself to be able to pass such judgement on it, Yosuke...?

A picture drawn wholly in blue would not be unique, but feels like a true tribute to the shade after it had been lost for so long...
A horizon line would work, certainly. But it would be nice to adapt an image into blue as well, like say... a forest done in shades of blue. Or a collection of bright blue flowers.
[The lack of interest manages to get her to relax if anything. There's a softening of her expression, the lack of wariness, and she smiles a little self-consciously.]
Ah... портрет? [She offers a translation shortly after:] There is a painting in the window...
Of the night sky? Do you know which one I mean? Звезды! With the stars...! [And her excitement leaks through - though a moment later, a little sheepishly, she reaches up to play with her hair.] Is that the right way to ask?
[Her accent is distinctly Russian and that's the source of her uncertainty more than anything else... ah, talking with strangers can be a little difficult.]

I doubt Dali actually saw melting clocks before he chose to make them the focal point of The Persistence of Memory.
[He can chat in Japanese and in English but unfortunately, Russian isn't his thing, so the translation is appreciated.]
Yes, I know the one. [He painted it, after all.
It takes him a moment, but through her nervous and uncertain speech he does glean what she's trying to get at.]
Are you... asking to buy it?

But the romance is the core of the action and the adventure. What drives the plot is Westley and Buttercup's undying devotion towards one another. If they had simply given up on each other immediately, there would be no plot.
[Take that.
... Oh. Oh Yosuke.]
Yet it's considered a classic romance movie, and holds a "fresh" rating on that movie rating website, so clearly not everyone thinks it is subpar.
It was perhaps a little heavy handed, though.
[Did you watch it with Yu, Yosuke? Did you??]

but itd be super boring if all it was was just 2 ppl declaring undying affection 2 each other
it had 2 have the action and comedy!
[ Look he likes that movie so it can't be romance. That's logic right there. ]
dude u and me both know that a good movie rating doesnt mean is a good movie
i mean look how popular 50 shades is
[ THAT'S NONE OF YUSUKE'S BUSINESS.
Also Yu does apparently have awful taste in movies. ]

I'm not saying it doesn't have action and comedy, but the romance is the spark that lit the flames that spawned into the masterpiece of multiple genres that it is. It isn't less of a movie for including romance, not when it was a well written one that actually had a purpose being there.
[why are you being such a fragile flower, yosuke. he expected better of you.]
... fifty shades has a 10% rating on that website, ergo...
[did they snuggle and cry on each other's shoulders?]

ok well
its just
diff when romance is just a part of the plot rather than like the entirety of it
u know??
[ He's just too super manly for chick flicks ok. ]
ok so some ppl have taste
thats good
[ Does grumbling and complaining and then being unable to sleep later count? ]

I never argued against that. I would agree, in fact. A romance added for the sake of fulfilling the quota of "having a romance" does no good for the storyline and likely wouldn't hold the interest of the viewers.
Something well written that adds to the story instead of pulling away from it is worth enjoying.
[... what does one have to do with the other??]
it's true. I can't imagine a single good thing about those movies, or those books.
[... please tell him that you two haven't watched 50 shades.]

ok
cool so we agree then
[ ...DO THEY? ]
its not like i think its dumb i just think its a waste if thats all it is
[ They have everything to do with each other. He's still in the midst of his sexuality crisis, ok, let him have this. ]
p sure thats bc ur not the intended demographic
u know
not a 40-something sexually frustrated housewife
[ No, Yosuke would not stoop that low. ]

I agree. Especially if it's ... encroaching upon a plot that doesn't need it, or in a situation where stopping to consider mutual attraction would be ridiculous. Like, say... a civil war, or the apocalypse. [hello, hunger games.]
I'm also not a fan of love triangles.
[just ignore the labels and date who you want to date, yosuke. this is what yusuke would do if he were dating anyone and paid attention to romance.]
I'm surprised it has an intended demographic. The writing is so poor, it's almost illegible.

omg right
i mean i totally get it if like everyone is gonna die so ur like fuck it one last bone
but yea beyond that running from zombies seems more important
[ He's thought about this. ]
lol right
rl doesnt even work out like that
[ Says the guy who as in a love triangle and had no idea.
But if it were that easy he wouldn't be having a crisis, Yusuke. Not everyone can be that chill.]
wait
r u saying u read it

I can see the logic behind one last action before you die, yes. But if you're on the run or trying to survive and are taken out because you were busy making eyes at a companion, then you only have yourself to blame.
[He can tell.]
Correct. Love triangles seem ... overly dramatic and pointless. Are there really scenarios like that in real life?
[if only Yosuke was aware, he could tell him all about it.
try it though. being chill is fairly good. i mean, it also means he has no idea if/when someone does like him because he's so busy being oblivious but... at least you won't be stuck in a perpetual sexuality crisis?]
I flipped through the first book in the shop to see what the fuss was all about.
I still do not see what all the fuss was about.
