It is easy to misinterpret period romance for historical romance, but there are some significant traits that set these two genres apart. As the name implies, a historical romance movie isn't just set in a given year and has actors wearing clothing that matches the time frame, but it also usually features a real-life figure or a significant moment in history as the backdrop for the love story playing out onscreen.
As their love affair unfolds, viewers can't help but root for them despite the gender-related obstacles in their way. Although their relationship isn't factual, the plot allows for there to be parallels between the romance onscreen and the playwright's work, making for a compelling watch.
Despite the odds, the biopic shows their partnership and how Jane helped him become the bright physicist that he is known to be to this day. Even when his condition worsens, she doesn't shy away from putting his needs above hers and supporting his career. The gorgeous cinematography and costumes allow viewers to travel back in time and truly get pulled into this sincere depiction of what it means to be with someone through sickness and in health.
Although the lead pairing isn't as over-the-top in love as other cinematic couples, their grounded connection is part of the film's charm. Out of Africa also tackles a lot of pertinent themes about colonialism and classism in the 1920s through the protagonist's journey to a foreign land without prior knowledge of her surroundings or the culture.
Release Date September 13, 2005 Cast Joaquin Phoenix , Reese Witherspoon , Ginnifer Goodwin , Robert Patrick , Dallas Roberts , Dan John Miller Runtime 136 minutes Writers Johnny Cash , Patrick Carr , Gill Dennis , James Mangold 4 'The Imitation Game' Directed by Morten Tyldum Although The Imitation Game is more of a historical biopic than a historical romance, it does feature a heartfelt relationship between Alan Turing and two major figures in his life.
2 'Titanic' Directed by James Cameron There is a reason why Titanic was an award-winning hit when it came out and why its legacy lives on. Although Jack's and Rose's romance is doomed from the start because audiences know that the ship will wreck, James Cameron compels them to forget history for the first two hours. His camera allows the unlikely pair to actually enjoy each other's company before the inevitable tragedy strikes.
