How many songs have you heard with themes of love? Too many for sure, and yet you’ll agree that humanity will certainly still make some more. The same themes of love recur with novels, and stories and poems, and paintings and yes, movies. Love is a universal, timeless experience that will continue to exist just as long as humanity does.
