Jerry McGuire, 'A Quick Look at Love'
How does the movie 'Jerry McGuire' define love? Good question. I think it starts by showing us what Rene Zellwiger thinks is love when she overhears Tom Cruise explaining his marriage plans. This makes us realize that she is pretty much an 'old fashioned girl' with values in place. The movie takes us all over in terms of relationships. It shows us as class (see workplace) differences in Cruise and Zellwiger. We see values change as Cruise long time girlfriend Kelly Preston leaves him because he has changed. We see Cruise change in terms of how he handles his clients. Ultimately, we see how C ruise change in terms of how he sees his life with Zellwiger. It appears that the movie defines love in Zellwiger's terms which is..... tradional and romantic.
