DIRECTOR'S CUT: Movie Couples Therapy: ENCHANTED (Patreon)

What is the difference between love and attraction? Can you fall in love with someone you don’t initially get along with?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright compare the many couples from Enchanted, particularly Giselle and Edward and Giselle and Robert. They talk about what love is and why the classic love at first sight and true love’s kiss tropes don’t work. They discuss what it’s like to play a cartoon character in live action, and why Amy Adams nails it. They’re excited for Enchanted 2 and what Giselle and Robert’s relationship looks like years later.
