But everytime I thought I was coming to a close I'd get more and more ideas. I now have an 8k word essay about goddamn hallmark movies. Once I complete it I'm gonna post it here. But until then, I wanna hear everyone's opinions of the 'genre'.

What are your favourite hallmark films?
Do you like the genre?
What tropes do you enjoy?
Anything you find problematic?
Do you think they are feminist movies?
What are the most important features of a hallmark movie.
What to you is the core concept of the genre?
What are its defining philosophies?
Any plot points you like or dislike?
Any story beats you like or dislike?

Or any other addition you'd like to make here, I'd love to hear.

I'm genuinely excited to finish and share this. For the first time in my life am I excited to share smth I wrote.

Edit. I am at 30000 words and trying to cut as much as I can. Luckily I know I've been repetitive as I blabber and can cut down around 5k I think.

Can't believe I'm writing 25k fucking words on hallmark movies. And this is me being concise.

Yesss. Thats what I see as the core of the genre too. Good to see thats the opinion of someone who watches a lot of these.
