References to great romantic comedies in “Someone But You”

Anyone but you This is a massive success for several reasons, all of which have one common thread. Leave the cynicism behind to immerse yourself in a superb love story. So, on one hand, it brings back the best of the traditional romantic comedy and brings it to a modern dimension. On the other hand, he naively and friendly ridicules the great clichés of the classics, most of which have gone down in cinema history.

The result is a story that is not only very funny, but also very cute. It is also a combination of different perspectives on what love and its stories can be and how they are perceived in the present day. No one but you invents the boy-meets-girl formula that ends with a happy ending. But what it does achieve is to pay sincere tribute to all the great films that came before it, precisely through a version of love that is almost idyllic.

We leave you with five films to which this applies. Anyone but you in his grand tribute to romantic cinema. From the work that made audiences laugh and cry in the nineties of the last century, to the golden classics of Hollywood. The film delves into more than just how cinema imagines romance. Plus, it shows that great love stories never go out of style.

Summer Follies

In 1955, at the height of cinematic romances, Katharine Hepburn starred in one of the most memorable. Summer Follies follows a single woman’s search for the love of her life – from Italy to North America and back – and uses humor to describe her journey. And just like Anyone but youhas a disturbed, crazy and slightly irritated main character due to her failure to find the man of her life.

Moreover: these are two parallel characters. Bea (Sydney Sweeney) says at several points in the film that she says love is more than a feeling. This is the point of complicity. Jane (Hepburn) says the same thing as she tries to understand what’s going on between her and the mysterious antiques dealer. In the end, both will discover that love is closer than they thought. And that it was he who angered them to the point of exhaustion.

Lots of noise, few nuts

Benedict (Kenneth Branagh) and Beatrice (Emma Thompson) are equally stubborn, smart and good conversationalists. Only he is convinced that she, too, is deceiving him with jokes and practical jokes. The film adaptation of William Shakespeare’s play of the same name is a delightful satire, also touching for its strange vision of love.

Just like Anyone but you– which is also a version of the same work – the film is based on the ability of its main characters to pretend that they hate each other. And they both poke fun at great romantic comedies. Of course, like a good Kenneth Branagh film, this is a look at trickster love. letter by letter depicts the work of the British writer.

But even so, there is a great mockery of expectations and moments when love is so much more than what we expect it to be. Central message Anyone but you .

Baby how I hate you

Based best-sellerSally Thorne, the story is about a romance that starts out badly. Actually, with the most terrible stumble. Lucy (Lucy Hale) wants to advance her career. Only he will have to face Joshua (Austin Stowell), his cold colleague. As in the novel (which has become one of the most beloved by romantics), both heroes have a tense relationship.

But what starts as each other’s great ability to piss each other off ends in love when both have to go through an awkward moment. One that will show her that he is not as hateful as he thinks.

Anyone but you pays homage to the book and movie in some scenes. Especially when depicting the tense relationship between Ben (Glen Powell). Together they will eventually discover that the most passionate feeling can be as strong as hatred. Same as a couple in love Anyone but you.

I’m in front of you

Another couple that starts to hate each other and ends up falling in love is the bittersweet romance of Louise (Emilia Clarke) and William (Sam Claflin). The film, based on the novel by Jojo Moyes, tells the story of how this couple, who didn’t like each other, end up falling head over heels in love. Moreover: to become the meaning of life for another. Especially for Will, who is confined to a wheelchair after an accident.

Anyone but you, uses several famous lines from Moyes’ novel that also appear in the film. That’s why some scenes – and fans will immediately know which ones – are as sweet as they are painful. In the end, the film starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell provides its fans with a happy ending. But even so, the evolution between the two of them in their love for each other is very similar to this I’m in front of youdescribed in both the book and the film.

Offer

In this 2009 film, Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock also have to pretend to be a loving couple, even though they actually don’t get along quite well. This twist is very similar to “Anyone But You” and may seem random. Unless in the latter case, Bea fails to name the tape in the middle of her attempt to explain to Ben that they should pretend to be a couple.

And just like the main characters of The Proposal, both end up falling in love. A twist that culminates in a very similar scene in both couples end up ridiculing their attempts to hide their feelings.
