maybe I am too old, maybe not modern enough, but there is one point I really never understood:
I'm often reading sentences like "Rachael I love you" or "... I want to marry you", and I started to asked myself, if these sentences where ment honest? I mean, how can you talk about love without even knowing a person that you have never met and will probably never meet. I understand it, when these sentences are written by young people right in their puberty, because we all had some passing fancies (term?). but even that time, I never spoke about love. whatever... if more or less adult people so easily speaking about love and marriage, I think it's awkward in a way. hmmm... I though about it for a long time but found no answer... maybe it's a question of the definition of "love"? - TheRealChris these are my wallpapers: http://wind.prohosting.com/falten/rlc/rlc.html |

Perhaps it is a question of lust...or perhaps just being caught up in the moment.

I agree with the people above. Was going to say some very depreciating words about the "I wanna marry you, Rachael!" crowd, but that would've been out of character for me.

Well....
What can i say, I mean i luv RLC and i want to marry her. But if i think about it in reality perhaps it is a question of lust. Picture being married to one the the best looking females on God's green earth. Theres the publicity, fame and hey the money too. I'm sure many people would deny the reasons i have given. But we (i think rightly) portray RLC as the perfect lady, young, beautiful, funny, classy, talented, etc. and who wouldn't want to be married to a person like this, who couldn't luv her? And hey whats wrong with wanting to marry her, or saying we luv her. U rightly say we most probably will never meet her and if we did maybe our ideas about her would change, or not. Til then what's wrong with a little luv? -Yours___________DrunkAss |

quote: They are but it's fantasy mostly. Celebrities are safe to have fantasies about because they are only images to us. So they're sort of like "ideals" and most of us know the difference between that and real life. This goes back a long way. Aristotle wrote about how art gives us a "perfect image" and we can use it to help our lives. Before then the pharaohs had their images put all over Egypt as an example for the common people. We think this is all new because earlier times didn't have TV or internet. But they just used other means to create images for themselves. Mona Lisa or DaVinci's statue of David, eg. Rachael would be a good Mona Lisa. |

Have you read Don Quijote?(TheRealChris)
Age is of no importance... It's about the "Love" They love to love, they(we) need to. We need something higher to believe in, and depend on... If you'll go further you'll hit religion...  Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait without you |

So you're saying Rachael is your messiah?
 I think Moose summed it up about right. |

I'm with most of the older people on this board that think it's more of lust than actual "love".
By the way good topic TheRealChris I don't think it's been hit on before. (Then again I'm still relatively new.) quote: Hehe That's scary  Merry Part & Blessed Be |

Haha,
In fact, Rachael is just our fave actress, our star, our hobby - and nothing more Comparable to other movie stars or even musicians! We can't describe that kind of obsession. Look at your neighborhood. Ask your friends which fave singers or actors they're having. Don't laugh when your mother love all songs of The Beatles (just an example) - it's the same feeling you have for Rachael. That kind of feeling is not comparable to the "real love" we use to have for our real fellows. It's just a nice hobby, a fantasy game we dream and which makes us feeling happy Schaumi |

dood really i think it is just like they say like "oh i love you Rachael" like cause they like her movies so much and she is so hot... so they say they love her not entirely meaning it... because love is a strong word and yes im sure your right they never have met and probably wont meet her EVER... but still they just say that not meaning it unless they have no idea what true love really is :/ so hmmmm oh well hope that helped ya

that a really good question...
for most of us this feelings is somewhere between the"ideal", "messiah", hobby and love. but it's different. It's not actualy "real" love.. as we don't know her IRL (in real life)... yes, we have seen some interviews, etc.. but it's not just it! How we could know what she will do in the exact situation? And about the one's who we "really" love, we can know it! you are sure, "what" you will hear from your G/F. And here? On russian we call it "vlechenie".. I don't know how it's on english.. but it's something like... with who you want to be all the time near.... ...anyway, if we are here, it's already something... right? So, who cares what feelings are in us? If WE don't know it.. how we can describe it in a "words"??? comments are welcome... yours, bank |

I'm really happy about you all people thinking about that, and I'm even more happy about reading your opinions.
maybe this "love" for an celebrity is a kind of save and sterile kind of love. you can't be harmed and rejected. but this also contains a danger: the bigger your theoretical love for your favorite celebrity is, the more you probably tend to loose the look for reality (or the courage to talk to an "real" girl). I saw this a couple of times when some friends of mine where never be satisfied by a girl, because they where not as good as "their" favorite celeb. know what I'm trying to say? I mean... maybe some people confuse "admire" with "love". please don't get me wrong, I'm only nosy.. and as long as we talk about it, we realize it - TheRealChris these are my wallpapers: http://wind.prohosting.com/falten/rlc/rlc.html |

I think for alot of people it's not so much love, or lust, but an infatuation. Ask most people what they love about RLC, and you'll get someone who remembers the innocence of Janey Boggs, the crowd-friendly appeal of Josie, the smarts of Lisa Calighan (Antitrust), and the honesty of Christina (Blowdry). People become infatuated and picture RLC as a hodgepodge of all her characters.
When Star Wars 2 premiered in May, alot of people on the Star Wars boards were praising Natalie P., talking about how smart, mature, talented, etc she was. I decided to look into her more, and my "research" into her made me think she's actually somewhat immature, sheltered, and spoiled. But she has picked her roles very well, and always plays characters that are mature beyond their years. Therefore, she has the same reputation. (My research consists of reading alot of online articles, interviews, etc.) People fall in love with a person's character on the screen because the director's job is to make us do that, and emote it onto the actual actor, assuming that they must be the same way. It becomes an infatuation, but since most of us have never had a dinner with RLC, it's impossible to be in love with the actual person. She could be an absolute witch in person for all I know. Besides, if I was, my wife would kill me. For now, I'll just have to settle for her being on my "List of 5." <G> |
