Winter's Tale tropes and clichés list

only 5 mins in and i'm already LMAO. This movie plays out like a child wrote it. It's as hilariously random and ignorant of what things mean as Axe Cop, with the addition of EVERY romantic cliche thrown in.

OMG I'm crying at how random it is.

Here is a list of the romance movie tropes that they used, which is to say all of them in one. This is the Mecca of romance movies. I've also added just stuff that was profoundly weird but not a trope persay.

Nostalgic past scene. Horrible parenting made to look sweet because "romantic".

Some disease, usually fatal.

Consumption, Sexy sexy consumption.

Idle chit chat with no depth to it.

Leaps of logic.

Out of place romantic dialogue/flirting.

Magic is everywhere.

Man on a white horse (magical).

Never been kissed trope.

Jewelry/gems.

Female character speaking to herself, trying to get herself under control.

Irish accents.

Talking about how beautiful everything is.

A character named Romeo.

Guy who is a criminal who stops criminal activity to look longingly at female character... and then they have tea.

"I'm not afraid of you" said to 2 seperate persons she should be rationally afraid of!

One "important" person. Destiny/fate etc.

Villians take time and inexplicably lets good guys get away. Several times.

Sudden deus ex machina "rules" that were never established before they came into play stop the villian.

Climbing up wall to the balcony.

Ice skating.

People falling in love who don't know each other.

Professing love and being unrealistically honest with each other (Just met).

Thinking being room temperature is healthy.

Bye bye science.

Only 2 characters in the world with red hair.

Fairytales about princesses.
A bed among flowers ala Snow White.

Modern speak and dress in olden times and visa versa.

Lucifer is literally Wil Smith... like not Wil Smith playing Lucifer. He's just playing himself.

Suicidal romantics.

Portraying normal things as cheeky

A naked silhouette.

Dancing at a dinner party.

Woah... um... suddenly consenting to sex with someone who's just barged into your room while you're naked who you haven't even kissed yet. And her virgin sex is perfect, unclumsy, not painful, with piano music playing.

Actually piano music is all throughout this movie.

Kissing a corpse.

Time travel.

Flying friggen horse. (I shit you not)

"Twu Wuv"

Artwork of the woman he loves.

Central Park.

Amnesia!

Wait... Jennifer Connelly is in this?!?

Crying man tears.

Chocolate.

People find the supernatural beautiful instead of terrifying.

Romanticism trumps logic constantly.
Feelings and intuition trumps knowledge.

Whispery/husky voices for no reason other than romantic.

Love defeats death.

Is lucifer wearing a bob marley shirt? Just because Wil Smith was like fuck wardrobe i'll wear what i want LOL

Child with cancer!

Miracles.

Hilariously obvious child dummy.

Trusting completely someone you just met.

2 men fighting over a girl.

Instead of going somewhere practical like a hospital, they go somewhere romantic.

Equating being a mechanic to being a doctor because humans are basically machines.

We're all special snowflakes. No life is better than anyone elses. Everyone has a destiny and purpose... I think i'm going to throw up.

Love conquers all... but stabbing someone in the neck several times with something metal works a treat too.
