My topic is how specific movies can alter someone's perception of reality; specifically romantic comedies that alter a woman’s understanding of relationships. Most women have preconceived notions of what the perfect relationship is suppose to be and most of them got their ideas from movies. Although movies can have some truths, they are rarely fact. Technology has influenced our society to believe that relationships should focus on the pleasant or romantic side of a relationship, and not the problems that are encountered. Film alters our perception of reality and glorifies romantic endeavors that are solemn and fundamental. By watching films that idolize romance, some women may be disappointed in their romantic adventures, and look for a relationship that is only exists in movies.
I can narrow down my topic and focus on a few movies that I think alter perception of romance. By giving specific examples, my paper will have more credibility.
Experts have addressed this topic somewhat in magazines, but movie critics have a more in-depth focus on perception and the way society deals with a movie’s message.
By exploring why romantic comedies alter a woman’s understanding of a relationship, women may be better able to evaluate what they are looking for in a relationship, and how to approach one.
I want to pursue this topic because film has the ability to influence every part of our life and sometimes this influence may not be as visible as we think. By examining the affects of film on a society, specifically women, will be able to examine their own lives and see how film has affected their romantic endeavors and the people they love.

As I mentioned before, the idea of how film impacts our perception of reality sounds fascinating to me. I like the narrowed direction you're taking it in and think choosing a few specific movies as examples will really help as well. Looks like a promising start.
