Relationships: Valentine’s Day

Relationships: Valentine’s Day

In Valentine’s Day, there are contexts of relationships, featuring individuals who find love and those that are heartbroken. There are instances, when the characters in the film experience the urge to seek advice regarding the status of their relationships. In essence, everyone in the film needs advice regarding the love contexts, including the current, past and the future elements. Various couples find it challenging to come up with relevant love stability, while others are successful in finding love. In this regard, there are several love scenarios and contexts that define the movie and its context of relationship. The film highlights various relationships, including how couples struggle with realities and fantasies to achieve their set goals (Marshall n.p). Most of the challenges in these relationships are narrowed down to the director’s reception of culture and the implications of the social and personal beliefs and values. the relationships are anchored on the potential to achieve the consistencies and become relevant. For instance, the relationship between Reed and the dream girl underscore the pertinent age based discourses that shape them. The concern is on the sustainability even as people attempt to relive the as and come to terms with the ideal man or women for their relationships.

Valentine’s Day address the impacts of age differences and other mechanisms that define the context of relationships. The director appreciates the culture and crave for love, which make most of the characters to go overboard in attempting to be relevant. moreover, it is a question of the shared values, fantasies, and realignments and contexts to influence the long-term goals. Reed understands the essence of dream girl and proposes, which the rest, including Julia, think is a wrong move and attempts to discredit the move. In this regard, the relationship is based on the understanding of personal biases, the previous histories, and the presence of potential heartbreak of the characters. Garry Marshall employed the elements of routine love jamborees to underscore the context of love within the framework of sustainable outcomes and frameworks (Duran and Kelly 49). In this regard, the relationships are based on best friends being in love without knowing, classical element of people thinking that ladies love them while they do not, and the essence of being married but still in love with another lady. In this context, some of the relationships are based on the belief that the man or woman would leave their marital commitment and remarry their current crushes.

The film highlights the essence of non-verbal communication that has significant impact in interpreting the information and the intention of the characters. For instance, in the flights, some of the interpreted conversations entail the body language how they manifest elements of discontent and misconstrued elements and discourse. There are structures that fail to achieve the notion of body language and nonverbal communication elements in the long run. there are assumptions, especially those that relate to Captain Cate Hezaltine and Holden, regarding the context of romance, obsession, and other misconceptions. For instance, a rapid communication during a flight underscores the perspective of relevance in defining the nonverbal communication through the two characters and their interaction (Marshall n.p). Facial expression, gesturing, and dress codes are significant manifestations of how Kate and Holden are interlinked through the nonverbal communication. However, the discourse is on the appropriateness of these mechanisms in instilling the long-term goals in defining relationships. The director understands the impacts of misconception and misinterpretation of these cues in defining relationship in the long run. for instance, there are characteristic instances when someone thinks they are in love, while the reverse is true.

The misinterpretation of the nonverbal communication is a crucial tool in Valentine Day. Hanzeltine and Holden are typical of these concepts and define the necessary frameworks and interventions to instill the relevant values and ideologies. Moreover, through the essence of florist Reed Bennett and girlfriend Morley, it is possible to establish the necessities and veracity of the nonverbal communication among the characters in the film and their roles in defining the reception of the interesting partners. The boyfriend, Bennett, proposes to the girlfriend and undergoes series of activities, including the critical assessment of how their relationship span over the periods (Marshall n.p). These metrics define the critical assessment and understanding of the application of the Knapp’s developmental model. The film highlights the long-term obsession that Bennett had of Holden, which make it conform to the initial stage of the model through the perspective of initiation (Duran and Kelly 48). Thus, making decisions to purchase the flowers and take them to the woman amounts to sustainable understanding of relationship, which is an initiative in the first stage. Initiative can also mean contemplating to become part of the woman’s life despite the disparities. Initiation is usually from one of the sides.

Knapp’s developmental model is amicable in understanding how Valentine Day describes the relationship between the two characters, including experimentation in which Bennett attempts to find out the truth about the relationship. Experimentation can be challenging as it entails testing the partners about their discretion and beliefs in the relationship. However, there is also the intensifying stage, in which the two enhance meeting, relationship, and series of nonverbal communication between them to elicit integration of ideas and knowledge. In this regard, the two friends engaged in most parts of Knapp’s developmental model as it culminates into how they bonded in the last. However, there were discretions and misdemeanors on how it could work out (Duran and Kelly 44). The two lovers have developed and transitioned to depict the relationship models. In this regard, technology is the most crucial aspect of production, screening, and communication among the characters. The producer and direct understand the impacts of production technologies, including the camera angles, graphics, and animation to create the necessary ambience to achieve the thematic understanding of the general outcomes. thus, technology is part of the strategic interventions and instills the relevant outcomes and frameworks.

Relationships in Valentine Day are characterized with the essence of self-disclosure as the foundation of trust and awareness. In this regard, the focus is on how characters such as Dr. Harrison Copeland Julia Fitzpatrick, Liz, and Sean Jackson engage in communication that creates massive understanding of their challenges and breakthroughs in relationships that they had (Saxena 138). Consequently, it is a question of structured engagement and how it defines the measures and metrics through the understanding of the application of Johari Window model. The operation across various panes underlines the discourse of self-disclosure and its manifestation in various relationships. For instance, the characters fit into the perspectives of open area, blind spot, unknown, and hidden area. In this regard, the information and the secrets about their relationship fall into these categories within the panes of the window. For instance, Liz is in the blind spot while Jackson is in the unknown to define what they believe in relationship and the actions that they need to take to advance their understanding of the situations (Marshall n.p). The Johari Window model highlights the activities and frameworks that should be considered as crucial components of the sustainable relationships.

Age is a crucial determinant of the kind of love, especially as it depicts the explosiveness or passivity of its manifestation. In Valentine Day, the age factors come out strong to create the necessary understanding of the culture of love among age sets. For instance, the young love among the high school teachers depict a timely need derived pleasure and other frameworks (Marshall n.p). There is always the need to be close to another and have the ideological concepts and contexts that underpin the necessary goals and objectives. moreover, it is in the interest of the society to underscore the frameworks and discourses to express love in public or in secret (Saxena 135). The high school couple depicted the contemporaries in the love triangle and manifestation compared to others in the same wavelength. Thus, age highlights the need for compliance to culture and contemporaries in expressing and manifesting love.

Most of the relationships are anchored on effective communication and how they depict the society in the long run. communication is about sharing, hence it is a reciprocal process entailing sharing, interpretation, and feedback. The context of love is underpinned on how individuals communicate and the metrics that define their existence. Communication makes it possible to advance awareness, including the shared culture between two couples that others cannot interpret. This is evident when they share their moments and situations through the nonverbal communication and other elements.
