Ever notice how in the movies, couples ALWAYS kiss in the rain?!

Why is this?
What does it symbolise?
Do you think that writers and directors use the weather for dramatic effect?
Can you name some movies where this happens?

n my opinion, I think that in the movies, couples or lovers always kiss in the rain, as it adds a romantic scene to the movie. It gives the audience that butterfly feeling, as if it was them in the movie, well girls anyways.

The rain symbolises love, romance and pation. I also think that the writers and directors use the weather for a dramatic effect aswel, as it grabs the audiences attention and the excitment also builds up too.

An example of this would be in high school musical 2, thats the only movie i remember a scene like this in.

The scenes of kissing in the rain symbolises the dramatic effect that the moment is trying to realese.
It occurs in most movies for the emotion that they are trying to convey to the audience. Some examples are Dear John, Another Cinderella Story, Moulon Ruge.
It makes the atmosphere depressing but yet romantic from the actors point of view. The rain effects the mood of the audience.
The audience feel like that these scenes makes the whole movie like a tension through out and when it rains the pressure is let off and the anxiety is released.

I think movies do this to make the meaning of the kiss powerful and its makes the scene very romantic.
It symbolizes the build up of there feelings being released like a could releases the rain drops when it can't take it anymore.
Yes because if its sunny you feel happy, if its rainy you feel sad or romance.
This happens in A Cinderella story, Dear John , Spiderman and Four weddings and a funeral.

I think that writers and directors use the weather for dramatic effect because it adds more suspense on to what is going to happen. I think they do this because it adds more power to the scene and kissing in the rain is more romantic which makes people feel the love of the two actors kissing. They use rain in the scenes were actors are kissing for more passion between them. An example were this happens in a movie in Dear John and high school musical 2.

I think they always kiss in the rain because of symbolism. It symbolises love.I think it symbolises passion. I think directors use weather to draw in the viewers attention. It is meant to be a dramatic event in the movie as we are usually waiting for the whole movie for it. This happens in the cindealla story and dear john.

The reason why the couples always kiss in the rain in movies and books is because it is romantic and it shows the passion. Thats what the writers and directors are looking for. To show how romatic it all is, and the writer or director is trying to do this for dramatic reasons, but because he does this helps them because then people like what they wrote or made..

‘Dear John’ shows how much they love each other and that puts us into loving moods. Rain is what symbolises passion. It shows us that it can’t take anymore water and so it realises the water in the could. It is the same with couples. They don’t kiss untill it is raining to show how similar they both are.

In my opinion kissing in the rain is very romantic. It shows you’re love for somebody if u kiss them in the rain because you don’t care if you’re hair gets wet ha-ha. I think the directors do use the weather for dramatic effect because it is used in most romantic movies. It makes the scene a bit more charming. This happens in the movie Cinderella story, Spiderman, Dear John and High school musical.

I believe this is done in movies to emphasize the kiss. In my opinion, the rain, adds a significant amount of dramatic effect. Watching a kiss in the rain is beautiful. I believe it tells me that the couple are so in love they don’t care where it happens or how it happens as long as they express their feelings to each other.

It symbolises commitment. In my opinion it shows me the power love has on people. They would do anything to be with the person they love.

I believe the script writers and directors do this purposely. It captures the audiences feelings and lets us, the viewers, feel the love.

If seen this in many movies. For example ‘’Dear John’’ ‘’Spider-Man’’ ‘’Pirates Of The Caribbean’’ ‘’Singing In The Rain’’.

In my opinion I think couples in movies kiss in the rain to show their love and passion to one another.Also I think that couples in movies kiss in the rain because they love each other and don’t care where they are , they just wanna be with eachother . I think the director and writers have the actors in movies kissing in the rain to add drama to the scene as kissing in the rain is very dramatic, as the couple are all loved up and happy with each other.
