In the reading Chuck brings up the girl from his past being obsessed with John Cusack's character in Say Anything. She wants her perfect man to be just like John Cusack. This is an example of fake love. This is unrealistic mainly for the reason that its a fictional character. He isn't real. Secondly, besides the fact that he isn't real, his character is loosely similar to John Cusack which fantasizes a semi famous (who still likes John Cusack?) actor.
I've never seen or read Twilight so I am extremely qualified to psychoanalyze these masterpieces of media. Throughout these books fake love is demonstrated. One of the vampires, who the main character is involved with, follows her and protects her to an almost creepy level. This puts in a lot of girls minds that this is how men should be. This starts to steer into dangerous territory. The implications of this are you want someone to stalk you. Also this implies that you aren't capable to fending for yourself, you need someone, specifically a vampire to do it for you. By the way, since when do vampires sparkle. Last time I checked vampires sucked blood and were evil. Also, due to him being a vampire this requires every single scene of them being outside being at night time. That makes me feel like the entire movie would've been more immersive in black and white. The other romantic relationship the girl has in the Twilight movies is a werewolf who remarkably looks very human and never wears a shirt. Seriously, I'm convinced his skin repels fabric. The implications of never wearing a shirt are you are so obsessed with your own image that you constantly feel the need to show it off. Its fine to be confident with your own image but no one looks good enough to never wear a shirt. This also implies in these movies that young women should be attracted to both of these two examples.
