Do girls really go for the weird stalker type? I've seen a few movies lately where that's all it takes. I mean if the immortal girl who has sworn off love for 100 years falls for it. Or was it just the money? Most girls I know would look into restraining orders if some guy just starts popping up everywhere including your home.
shareit depends on bank account, if he would be poor or average he would be creepy stalker, but since he had apparently millions it was cute attention from him
The best - Fight Club, American Beauty & Falling Down.
Looks too. Money and look means that you can be a little stalker esque and still get the girl. If you're ugly or have no money, then you'll be a persistent weirdo
LOL
There are exceptions of course.
That's what I disliked about the male love interest. He came off as overly aggressive and manipulative, especially when he threatened to not make the donation. That's not cute or romantic.
shareI had the same reaction. He got better as the movie progressed,but my first impression was "what a douche."
shareIf you're very rich and very good looking, most girls will find it romantic.
If you're neither of those things, most girls will find it creepy.
Kind of funny. But who cares.
(please, don't any girls reply to this saying "I'm not like that" ... I said "most girls" not 100%)
Yes, and if a young lady is being stalked by someone who looks like Steve Buscemi then I suspect her reaction would be different!

I would actually enjoy being stalked by someone who looks like Steve Buscemi.
shareNo. He's stalker.
shareNo they dont? That actor has zero charm and charisma and no woman would go near such a stalking weirdo. He would've been reported to the police and banged up after he searched out her address. That beg job she does when she visits his work place is vile. What a sht movie. I give it -10/10.
shareNo, it was totally creepy. He had his explanations and I guess he was supposed to be a good guy who was just so into her that he had to do what he did but he crossed all sorts of lines.
It doesn't surprise me at all that the story was written and directed by men. I guess they thought the persistence thing would be taken as charming but it's completely unbalanced.

50 Shades of Grey had the leading man cross all sorts of lines... worse than Age of Adaline. It was creepy, but since he was a billionaire that made it charming and exciting to many women with some calling it their "guilty pleasure". It shouldn't surprise you that that book and movie were written and directed by women.
share50 shades is an extreme example and you know it. The whole point of that movie was crossing lines because *hello* it's a fetish book/film for a specific niche, hated by feminists for the message it sends to men and an awful movie to boot. Yes, some women find it indulgent just like some men find rape exciting. Doesn't mean its ideology has widespread consensus and becomes the norm.
Adaline is meant to be a love story for the general audience with no creepiness intended. The fact that creepiness was present without such intention tells me there's a disconnect bt what some men find acceptable and what most women find intrusive. Surely you can see that?
Also you probably shouldn't use 50 shades as a bench-marker for anything if you want to understand women. It's meant to be pure dark fantasy and has no merit beyond that and will most likely bring you nothing but rejection.. whether you're a billionaire or not 😛.

Omg you try way too hard! We're talking about how a movie is unintentionally crossing civil boundaries. The characters in Adaline were supposed to behave normally, like normal people, yet Ellis' behaviour was completely across the line and inexplicably creepy as fck (agreed upon by nearly every girl on this board and most guys).. and he wasn't written as a sadist or vampire as far as I could tell, so why are you bringing a fetish movie into this and who exactly is doing the cherry picking??
If you're so obsessed with 50 Shades maybe you should be posting on that board because it really has nothing to do with Adaline which I tried to point out to you from the beginning. I'm sorry you got so butthurt you had to write me a ridiculously long copy/paste reply rife with insults and a condescending tone where you blither on about Oprah and make brilliant observations like a film marketed to women is somehow rated higher by women than men 😲, how not ALL feminists dislike 50 shades 😐 and there are more people involved in making a movie than a director and writer 😕 lol! Really captain obvious??
If you took my post as a personal attack on your maleness then maybe I get where all your crazy is coming from but that’s your personal deal and that wasn’t my intention, but now I really don’t care because honestly you’re just not that interesting. Bye!

You, you're doing the cherry picking since there are tons and tons of movies written&directed by men that are not as creepy as fck and yet you've cherry-picked this one to make an outrageous sexist remark. It's a pity you're so butthurt over Age of Adaline, but it's a bad reason to blame the creepiness all on the gender of the writer and director:
It doesn't surprise me at all that the story was written and directed by men.
Lol excuse me for talking about The Age of Adaline on The Age of Adaline board . I guess I should've been talking about 50 Shades or Twilight like some weirdos.
The actions of Ellis are solely on the writer, the interpretation of the scenes squarely on the director. I know that's so hard for you to understand since you seem to be the type to lack common sense, so let me help you out by saying the make-up artist probably had little to do with the creepiness of Ellis' behaviour.
The thing is men, or should I say some men (don't want to piss you off), seem to not understand boundaries when it comes to relationships, even well intentioned ones (like the writer and director). If you want to use 50 Shades, written by a woman as a fetish project, to downplay the seriousness of that problem (by men) in today's society (and in Adaline) then I guess I understand the type of person you are and I see why you took my comment so rather personally.
As for your inability to understand why women would generally rate romantic films higher than men (even with unintentional creepy elements present), well that goes back to your lack of common sense again doesn't it?.. and I really don't care to help explain these painfully obvious things to you. I'm sure you'll manage though and I'm sure most people just roll their eyes at you or just don't care.. so good luck! ❤

You're excused for being butthurt over a bad movie, but not misguided hate-filled sexism. Even *if* you believe only the writer & director are to blame it's just as absurd & bigoted to say it's because of their gender as it would be to say it's because of their race. You're the one who keeps obsessing over 50Shades & Twilight over & over in your futile attempts to downplay/disregard them, not me... maybe you should be on those boards so you can try to convince yourself of your preachings?

I guess we don't see eye to eye. You really do go off on tangents. The focus was on Ellis' strange stalker-ish behaviour in the film and a possible reason for that. That was it. It was that simple.
In light of the recent shootings in Orlando which puts things in perspective, have a wonderful life! 💕

Keeping it simple, Ellis' strange stalker-ish behavior might be because of strange people, but it's not because of (or limited to) 1 gender.
Likewise, have a wonderful life.👍
Lmao no. He was creepy right off the bat. Then, he continued to be creepier by the scene.
