'Materialists', a romantic comedy film by Celine Song, breaks the mold of its genre by candidly addressing the characters' financial situations. Unlike traditional rom-coms, which tend to overlook realistic economic details, 'Materialists' presents characters who explicitly discuss their incomes and living conditions. This financial acknowledgment adds depth to the characters, such as Lucy, a matchmaker earning $80,000, and Harry, a wealthy investor. In stark contrast, Lucy's ex, John, struggles with finances as an aspiring actor, highlighting the disparities in their lifestyles and grounding the narrative in authentic economic contexts.
The romantic comedy genre often neglects characters' financial realities but 'Materialists' confronts this by openly discussing their economic situations in a refreshing way.
Unlike traditional rom-coms, 'Materialists' features characters who realistically navigate their financial situations, revealing stark contrasts between lifestyles and wealth.
