confession time: I would sacrifice every movie harry was ever in if it meant he would keep his long hair
I love MJ and Peters relationship for 4 main reasons.
1) Michelle is taller than Peter -> Representation of relationships that are not stereotypical like the “tall boy, short girl” stereotype (this is coming from a short girl).
2) They are different races -> Representation of relationships that shown you don’t have to marry/date/be with someone of the same race as you. Love is found in all races.
3) Michelle is the pessimist/realist and Peter is the optimist -> A lot of times in movie relationships it shows the man giving up hope in everything and the girl always being positive and happy. It shows the reality that women aren’t always smiling and happy and positive about everything and that it’s okay for men to feel real emotions that aren’t angry or stern
4) They love each other for who they are. Peter lives a difficult life and MJ isn’t your typical person. They both have their “outcast-y” traits yet they love and support each other anyway
Thank you for listening to my TED talk
