Love & Romance, Hollywood Style [Period 4, Class 15]

"All right, it's finals day," Drake said, gleefully rubbing his hands together. "Oh, relax, this is easy. All I want you to do is tell me a love story. It can be epic, it can be tragic, it can be comedic, but make it a true one. And then tell me what Hollywood would do to the story if they made it into a movie. Got it? Go. Oh, and for bonus points, tell me your favorite quote about love."

Didi told a version of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice that dwelt rather heavily on how, if Orpheus had listened to his aunt or his father and let the dead stay dead, the worst of the story could have been avoided. She stopped just after the bard watched his bride turn to salt -- the rest of what had happened to Orpheus was in no way a love story.

"If I was making it into a movie with a happy ending," Didi finished thoughtfully, "I'd either say 'the end' just before the wedding, or let them reunite once they got out of the underworld. The real story's just too sad."
