Yeah, I get that...but the message is still sort of the same: Your life and our heart will be empty until you get a husband/wife and kids.

I don't think the movie itself is that horrible, I saw it ears ago and even somewhat enjoyed it - but as a trope, I'm not a fan. And it would help if it was sort of balanced out, if there were more movies where people chose the another type of life.

"Your life and our heart will be empty until you get a husband/wife and kids."

To be honest I didn't really get that out of that movie. I saw it as a person who was probably sheltered by wealth and privilege seeing life from the point of view of an everyday person and maybe seeing that material wealth isn't everything in life.

Though I would love to see a version of this where she does something like volunteer work, or maybe having her family lose their money rather than her getting amnesia and conned into being some redneck guy's wife.

It's a good lesson from the perspective that a woman doesn't have to choose between having a family and having a career/money. (Though maybe this was just wealth and not a career? I don't know, I haven't seen this and I might be thinking of something else)

Which is really important and was particularly relevant earlier on in feminism, when we hadn't yet progressed to the realization that not all women want a spouse and kids and a picket fence. But now, yeah, I definitely see where you're coming from.

Actually you make a good point, because it IS an older movie - I hadn't really looked at it in that light before.
