They're happy now ... but won't marriage change everything?

Alan Parker's "Shoot the Moon" is a film that sometimes keeps its painful secrets even from itself. It opens with a shot of a man in agony. In another room, his wife, surrounded by four noisy daughters, dresses for a dinner that evening at which the man will be honored. The man has to pull himself together. His voice is choking with tears, he telephones the woman he loves and tells her how hard it will be to get through the evening without her. Then he puts on his rumpled tuxedo and marches out to do battle. As we watch this scene, we assume that the movie will answer several of the questions it raises, such as: What went wrong in the marriage? Why is the man in such agony? What is the nature of his love for the other woman? One of the surprises in "Shoot the Moon" is that none of these questions is ever quite answered, and we are asked to fill in the gaps ourselves.

That is not necessarily a flaw in the film. "Shoot the Moon" is not the historical record of this marriage, but the emotional history. It starts with what should be a happy marriage. A writer of books (Albert Finney) lives with his beautiful, funky wife (Diane Keaton) and their four rambunctious daughters in a converted farmhouse somewhere in Marin County, California. Their house is one of those warm battle zones filled with books, miscellaneous furniture, and the paraphernalia for vast projects half-completed. We learn that the marriage has gone disastrously wrong. That the man is determined to stalk out and be with his new woman. That the wife, after a period of anger and mourning, is prepared to react to this decision by almost deliberately having an affair with the loutish but well-meaning young man who comes to build a tennis court. That the husband and wife still harbor fugitive feelings of love and passion for another.

We never really learn how the marriage went wrong. There is the usual talk about how one partner was not given the room to grow, or the other did not have enough "space" -- concepts that love would render meaningless, but that divorce makes into savagely defended positions. We also learn just a tantalizing little about the two new lovers. Albert Finney's new woman (Karen Allen) is so cynical about their relationship in one scene that we wonder if their affair will soon end (we never learn). Diane Keaton's new man (Peter Weller) is so emotionally stiff, closed-off, that we don't know for a long time whether Keaton really likes him, or simply desires him sexually and wants to use him to spite her husband.

The film is a family-based romantic comedy revolving around the themes of love marriage and arranged marriage. It is set in rural India where boy and the girl obediently follow the instructions of the parents and what happens when such a marriage actually takes place.

"These same youngsters will experience the same dilemma between love marriage and arranged marriage few years down the line, and looking at their amazing reactions, I feel they definitely connected to the emotions depicted in our trailer,"

"'Love Story' had created a sensation in 1981. It had also set a trend in the society of love marriage. Our film's character Prem watches the film in 1981, and after that, his mind changes and he doesn't want to do an arranged marriage," Amit told IANS.

"1982 - A Love Marriage" is a breezy love story with comic elements created due to the conflict between a love marriage and arranged marriage. Directed by Prashant M. Gorey, the film is produced by ShivKumar Sharma and is releasing on March 11.

Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey take us to the dance floor in this romantic drama movie. The plot is centered around a summer resort for rich families, more specifically the Houseman family and their daughter Frances "Baby", who falls in love with a dance instructor Johnny Castle. It's your perfect story of forbidden love, where money and age make a whole lot of difference. Grossing over $214 million worldwide, Dirty Dancing is the Top Gun of dancing movies. It may come off as a surprise, but there is actually a Dirty Dancing sequel in production with Grey reprising her role.

Pretty In Pink is a cult classic among the lovers of teen romance movies. Directed by Howard Deutch, the plot focuses on the social cliques in an American high school, more specifically on a teen girl who has to choose between her childhood sweetheart and a rich, sensitive boy. Commonly defined as a "Brat Pack" movie, due to the same actors appearing together in teen romance movies, Pretty In Pink has some of the most memorable best friends in teen romance, with its focus on unrequited love.

Selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, Tootsie has become a culturally significant artifact in the American culture. This romantic comedy focuses on a talented but volatile actor, who adopts a new identity of a woman to get an acting job. Starring Dustin Hoffman, the movie became the second most profitable of 1982. The movie does indeed have some problematic parts, but it's still considered one of the most iconic movies of the 80s.

The real-life Jerry Buss and his wife JoAnn Mueller got a divorce in 1972 after twenty years of marriage and four children. He then married Veronica Hoff in the same year, who would later find out that Jerry was still married to Mueller. Jerry's next major love interest became Karen Demel, who would later give birth to two of Jerry's children, Joey and Jesse, during the 1980s. The timing of Jerry and Honey's fictional rekindled flame in Winning Time aligns with his factual relationship and eventual marriage to Demel, which only lasted a few years.

The creators of Winning Time seem to have combined several details of Jerry's real-life lovers to create the fictional Honey. The real Jerry Buss was rumored to have a longstanding on-and-off relationship with a woman nicknamed 'Puppi' Buss. Puppi, whose real name is Marsha Lee Osborne, claimed that she and Buss were together for fifteen years in a husband-and-wife relationship that involved sharing finances and making plans for marriage.

Prashant M Gorey, who has assisted renowned director Sudhir Mishra, launched the trailer of his directorial debut "1982 - A Love Marriage" along with the starcast here."The entire setting of the film including the picturization and cinematography is carried out in such a manner that it creates a feel of the 1980s," he told media persons at the event. "We have targeted that audience who are confused whether love marriage is a success or arranged marriage is. We are showing a conclusion as to which of them is a success and why. I haven't married till now since I'm still confused. And it's a big challenge to make a film on something that you haven't done till now. In Indian society ,the culture is such that you see marriages of relatives is very common, the whole of India can relate to it," said Gorey.

The film is a comedy set in the hinterland in the 1980s and the plot revolves around a man who is excited about the concept of love marriage.Lead actor Amitkumar Sharma said: "There are numerous divorces happening, none of the marriages are working... during the 1980s, there were only arranged marriages and they were successful. For the character, I could catch the traits from my own thoughts. I met numerous people to prepare for the character, especially the youth and I didn't have to search anywhere. "During the 1980s and 1990s, people started moving towards love marriage but according to a recent survey we did, the youth is again towards arranged marriagea."The film is produced by Shiv Kumar Sharma and 18th Media Ventures and releases on February 26.

"A Changing Heart (52 min.) takes an intimate look at how the Japanese, in a mere century, have come to adopt love as a rationale for marriage. By examining the changing roles of women, the shape of families, the impact of World War II, as well as industrialization and the decline of tradition, we can understand how the Japanese, and perhaps even other cultures, could accept new attitudes toward love and marriage. The film looks chronologically at how arranged marriage evolved and then reveals how this change has left people in Japan today, as they face the quest of looking for a partner. The consequences of this evolution turn out to unleash unexpected quandaries to both individuals and society as a whole"--Http://www.globalfilmnetwork.net. 1 videodisc (52 min.)

A documentary on the unique sexual culture of the Mosuo people, a small minority situated in the southwest of China, and one of the last remaining matriarchal societies in the world. Without a formal marriage contract, the Mosuo traditionally build relationships based on free love and sexual satisfaction ("walking marriages"). But can the sexual liberty and power of the Mosuo women survive as modern Chinese society slowly encroaches their ancestral land? The film explores the present reality for the Mosuo people as well as the dangers that threaten their inherited way of life--Container. 1 videodisc (46 min.) :

  • The Alcoholic: Fenwick. This would probably explain why he does things like punch out windows and sit in the crib of a Nativity display.
  • Ambiguously Jewish: Though Eddie gets married in a synagogue, which is not ambiguous, Boogie uses words like "schmuck", and the arguments Eddie and Modell get into could arguably be categorized as Jews Love to Argue, there's no indication of this otherwise.
  • And This Is for...: Billy doesn't actually say these words, but when he punches out Willard - a guy who was part of a baseball team that jumped him during a game when Billy was in 10th grade (and whom Billy swore revenge against) - outside a movie theater, it's implied when he says, "Now we're even."
  • Later, Boogie says the same thing to Tank when he punches him out (after Tank had beaten him up earlier for not paying off his bet) once he finds out Bagel paid off his debt.
  • Arc Words: After Boogie has been given the brush-off by a woman on a horse, Fenwick, who's been watching, says, "Do you ever get the feeling that there's something going on that we don't know about?"
  • Bait-and-Switch: When Billy and Eddie visit a strip club, Billy gets upset the band at the club (actually, a saxophone player and a drummer) are playing music too slowly, so he jumps up on stage. At first, he plays what sounds like classical music, and everyone groans (even Eddie looks a little worried). Then, without warning, Billy starts playing rock-n-roll, the other musicians get into, and so do Eddie, the stripper, and the rest of the crowd.
  • Berserk Button: It's bad enough that Beth can't understand the importance of Shrevie's record-collection organization system, but she also doesn't know who Charlie Parker is.
  • Big Eater: Earl, who orders the entire left side of the menu, which is 22 sandwiches plus the fried chicken dinner. The guys all applaud him when he leaves the diner on his own power, plus is able to drive off.Modell: He's not human, he's not a person. He's like a building with feet.
  • Blatant Lies: What Boogie tells Carol Heathrow to cover up his actions in the popcorn scene. See Refuge in Audacity below.
  • Buffy Speak: When Eddie explains to Billy why he's marrying Elyse even though he would have preferred to date her for the rest of his life, he says, "Girls want that marriage thing."
  • By "No", I Mean "Yes": When Billy meets Barbara at the church she goes to, he asks if there's anything wrong. She says no at first, but then admits, "Yes. I think I'm pregnant."
  • Comically Missing the Point: While waiting in jail (again, It Makes Sense in Context), Billy asks Eddie's advice on what to do with Barbara. Eddie, of course, suggest they get married and have the kid. When Billy points out not only does she not want to get married, but she has her own career, Eddie hems and haws a bit until saying, "I tried bringing up a reasonable solution, and you had to bring her into it."
  • Couldn't Find a Lighter: Fenwick lights a cigarette using a stove at the store Shrevie works at.
  • Cry into Chest: After Shreve and Beth have a fight and he storms off, Boogie comes over to get the money Shreve said he'd lend him, only to find Beth in tears. As he comforts her and tries to find out what happened, Beth cries and puts her head against Boogie's chest.
  • Cut Himself Shaving: Played for laughs; this is how Fenwick explains the "blood" on his hand (see Faking the Dead below).
  • Deliberate Values Dissonance: Much of what the guys do to women in the movie, from Fenwick claiming he told a date, "Fuck or fight" (even though it turned out he was joking), to the "popcorn" scene (see Refuge in Audacity below), would never fly today, but that's part of the point of the movie, showing how the male characters had problems dealing with women at that time.
  • Faking the Dead: Played for laughs; Fenwick pretends to have gotten in a car accident and thrown from the car so that Boogie, Modell, Shrevie and Beth will think he's dead. Not until Boogie is standing over Fenwick does he let them in on the joke. Also, the "blood" on his face is from a ketchup bottle he'd been carrying around for weeks.
  • The Gambling Addict: Boogie. He gets into all kinds of trouble for this, until Bagel pays off his bet.
  • The Ghost: Elyse. We hear her during the quiz, but we never see her face, only her back.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Eddie. He spends most of the movie acting like he's doing Elyse a favor by marrying her (not to mention the football quiz he's making her take), he's demanding with his mother, and he's constantly harping on silly things. However, he's very loyal to his friends, he reveals he's incredibly nervous about what marriage will be like (which is why he makes Elyse take the quiz in the first place, so he knows they'll have something to talk about), not to mention the fact he's really a virgin, and while she fails the test by two points because Shrevie answered a question before she could, and Eddie initially wouldn't give her credit, much later, he decides to give her credit so they can get married.
  • Lame Pun Reaction: After visiting the strip club (see Bait-and-Switch above), Billy, Eddie and the stripper go to a coffee shop and he tells the following joke:Eddie: Hickory dickory doc, the mice ran up the clock, the clock struck one...and the other two escaped with minor injuries. (the other two groan). Third-grade humor. I've graduated.
    Stripper: Now it's fifth-grade humor?
  • Must Have Caffeine: After the guys pick Billy up from the train station, Fenwick stops to get coffee at the station, even though they're all going straight to the diner, simply because he wants coffee now.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: During the football quiz, Shrevie inadvertently blurts out the answer to a question before Elyse can answer it. However, though it means she ends up failing the quiz, Eddie eventually decides since she knew the answer, he'd give her the credit so they could get married.
  • Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Except for Bagel (played by Baltimore native Michael Tucker) and a few of the minor characters, no one speaks in a Baltimore accent.
  • The Oner: The opening shot of the movie, which tracks Modell as he walks into a dance hall to find Boogie.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Boogie's real name is Bobby, but we don't find that out till near the end of the movie.
  • Platonic Life-Partners: Barbara and Billy started that way, until they slept together one night; she wants to return to that relationship, but he wants something more.
  • Reality Is Unrealistic: When Boogie goes to see Carol in the bathroom of the movie theater (after the "popcorn" scene; see Refuge in Audacity below), we see a hand dryer on the wall, which might seem out of place, but in fact, hand dryers had been around since the 1920's, and had become popular since the late 1940's.
  • Recycled In Space: I Vitelloni set in Baltimore. Alternatively, an East Coast version of American Graffiti.
  • Refuge in Audacity: Boogie bets the other guys he can get Carol Heathrow to touch his penis. So, when they're at the movies that night, at one point he opens his fly and puts the popcorn box over his penis. Eventually, as she's reaching for the popcorn, she touches it, freaks, and runs out of the theater. When he catches up to her in the girl's bathroom, he explains he only opened his fly because she got him excited, so he wanted to try and calm down. However, a certain point in the movie made him get excited again, and the penis just went through the bottom of the box. She seems to buy it.
  • Fenwick has his own moment; after he gets turned down for a loan by his estranged brother Howard, he gets drunk and goes by an outdoor Nativity scene, where he notices the life-sized Baby Jesus is missing. So what does he do? He strips down to his shorts and sits in the baby crib himself. And when Shrevie, Eddie and Billy try to get him out of there, he refuses to leave until the police come by.
  • Seinfeldian Conversation: Part of the reason for the Executive Meddling; studio executives didn't understand such scenes as Eddie and Modell arguing over a roast beef sandwich, telling Levinson to cut that out and get on with the story, to which Levinson replied, "That is the story."
  • Serious Business: This movie is filled to the brim with it. In addition to Shrevie's argument with Beth (see above), we have the following:
  • Eddie's football quiz for his bride-to-be Elyse. Not only that, but the wedding decor is blue and white (the Colts' colors), and the music playing during the wedding ceremony is the Colts' marching song.
  • Eddie constantly annoys his friends by asking them who they prefer, Sinatra or Mathis. When Boogie takes a third option and answers "Presley", it sets off Eddie's Berserk Button.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Everyone goes to see the movie A Summer Place. Later in the movie, we also see Billy and Eddie going to see The Seventh Seal.
  • A minor character can quote Sweet Smell of Success by heart, much to Eddie and Modell's annoyance.
  • When Shrevie is at work at the appliance store, we can see the 1949 movie version of Little Women playing on one of the televisions. Also, a customer there complains about when he tried watching Bonanza on a color TV.
  • Smug Snake: Fenwick's brother Howard.Fenwick: It's funny. You know, when I was a little kid I always wanted a brother. I told that to mom once and she said, "You have a brother". I said, "Oh, so that's who the asshole in the other bed is".
  • Source Music: Almost all of the music in the movie is source music, coming from a car radio or the diner, except the music in the last scene and when Boogie is riding a horse.
  • That Nostalgia Show: To the '50s/early '60s.
  • Unusual Euphemism: Fenwick tends to describe any prank he pulls as a "smile".
  • The guys all describe a beautiful woman as "death".
