    I really liked this one. Because I would say  this is the problem which is everywhere. Many young people have depressions caused by love and so on. Actually many young people don't know what real love is...so...In my opinion it's hard to talk about this topic (If love exists). 

     

    Sandra (Czech Rep.)

    I think that love exists only if you meet the right person. Some people are afraid of falling in love because they think it will go wrong. In my opinion, when people fall in love, they will want to feel the love till the end of their lives.

    This film is about true love and I think this film has changed my opinion on  love. Now I know there are so many ways how somebody can express love. And it depends on the gender.

    First of all I´d like to say that nowadays people have their own ideas about the ideal Man or Woman. The problem is that these kinds of people don´t exist.
    In my opinion people dont want ro put effort in love because, especially young people think that love is something usual. They don´t appreciate  love enough. That´s why most of relationships end so soon and after a few breakups young people just don´t want to be hurt anymore.

    It’s a little difficult to understand if there is really true love. Young people fall in love but soon their feelings wipe out. Differences,  demands,  dependence,  loss of freedom, compromises and  financial difficulties seem to be obstacles for letting young people to fall in love. Most often young people are disappointed by the way the other half responds. Especially in case of betrayal they feel scared to start again, to enter new adventures. So they often prefer to be alone or have short relationships without investing deep feelings, time and energy. They try to protect themselves.

    " Is there true love?" I am not sure about it. I can't say. Long working hours prohibit people from spending the necessary time to establish a stable relationship. Also working problems make them need understanding, often in greater degree that their companion may be capable to offer. Family problems and financial ones scare them and feel that they may not be able to be good husbands and wives, good parents and efficient in their jobs.

    True Love? This is a thing to THINK ABOUT. The film shows the difficulties for someone to fall in love and continue feel being Young people, who have been brought up generously with comforts in their own family, are not ready or willing to lose this way of living and get through hard times in a marriage. So they are very reserved when it comes to real love and commitment. Living free and out of frames and extra duties, seem to challenge young people. 

    Of course, in older age as adults, they feel the need to go away and start their own life. This is when the feel like having someone to care for them but this doesn’t involve parents, but  a companion to share life, to discuss, to do things together, to love and be loved. Those who are easier characters often adjust their way of life into a relationship and give it a try. It depends on many factors weather  true love can be the catalyst that can lead to a more stable lasting bond.

    I think there is true love. Only you have to look for it and be ready to compromise sometimes in a relationshio to last. Young people more often are disappointed by what they see in others. Quarrels,  unfaithfulness, arguments that end up to just living together,  simply sharing cost of life or  having got used to a situation that solves some problems but creates and brings about other undesired ones, like complaints, neglect or humiliation, depress, disappointment  make them being negative to invest in a love affair.

    I want to believe that there is true love. I hope to find it. The film made me think about the difficulties about meeting true love and that you have to keep it in case you meet with it. Young people prefer to stay single, have friends to share moments instead of babysitting or undertaking family chores. If there are no parents to support them in children’s bringing up, and their finance doesn’t allow them to get some help, being married appears like a nightmare.

     

    Keke Peggy (GR)

    Passion makes people not to think sober. They really see what they want to see to the other, so later they regret having entered in a commitment.  Despite the difficulties a love affair hinds, I think it’s very important someone to find their other real half. To have the same or close interests, to like similar things, to need this feeling that “I want to be with this person”. I feel like she/he completes my personality, just feel happy when we are together. I feel sorry when my other half feels bad and I want to make him/her to cheer up. When I want to share things, to do things together, to smile and play with her/him. I hope i will meet with true love in my life. I don't want to spend my whole life alone without some to love and care and be loved and cared for.

    I belive that there true love too. I have seen people loving each other for years. I hope i am one of them too.

    Sometimes when people have struggled for a carrier they are not willing to give it away or to risk giving it up because of a love affair. So it has to do with what kind of person someone is, his or her dreams and ambitions when choosing to commit or not commit someone’s self. Some people can’t stand being with only one person in their life. They want to taste life to full extend. So they need to be single and meet new persons so keep suspense in their life. The problem is when the two haves don’t share it. One being faithful and the other being unfaithful. This is not a healthy situation.

    Lappa Zoe (GR)

    People need to love and be loved. Even if they succeed in making a good carrier it’s a problem when there is nobody to share your life with someone. It is worth having some to share a part of life with someone. There is a great need for people to be couples. This is natural. But it’s worth doing it when there is real love and makes your life better, completes your personality.Me, as a dancer, feel the rythm. I believe two people together can have a really good rythm. I would like to find true love and share my life with someone who will trust.

     

    Litrivis Manolis (GR)

    I want to find true love but i am not sure if i will try hard. I like to be free and meet with love quite many times and live adventure.

    In order to find true love, someone has to spend time and energy. It’s frustrating sometime but I think it deserves giving it a try. Rejection is difficult. It causes pain and young people are not strong enough to bear it. Anyway it gives experience and taste in life. It makes us be more careful and take into consideration the other half’s wills. It makes you more experienced in human relationships. I believe that people who aren’t afraid of investing in love gain more in life than being just with yourself.

     I think there is true love . I agree that its not that important for young people these days , but it doesnt meant that it doesnt exist. I just think you need to really try and sacrifice to achieve the love in relationship.

    We have heard things like - ''Love from the first sight.'' I think that isn't true , because you can like person's look , but you can't love a person by their look. My opinion about true love is that you should know the person for a long time to actually love him.

    I think people should believe that there is love , because if u believe in it , you can feel it. I don't agree with some of the opinions in the film , because I believe in love and I think it means that you accept someone how he or she is and you learn whole life how to take care of somebody for whole life. 

    Nowadays people believe in love between one gendered couples. I think that's not right and that shouldn't be allowed , couples like that make children think that's normal. I think if world stays like this , every couple will be same gender and there will be no future for population and that could be end of the world.

    Love is a complicated thing to describe and analyze. Just recently, we had a task in philosophy - define the term 'love'. For this task, I did two things: I asked around to see what my friends thought, and I looked some definitions online. While most definitions were pretty mundane, and most of my friends started singing the Haddaway song, one friend actually gave me a useful link online, showing that the Ancient Greeks had four terms for love. This was quite useful, as both in English and Latvian, we have only the one word. But, still, the topic of discussion will be the most common meaning of the word 'love', that is, romantic love.

    There are several different opinions voiced in the film, and the one thing I'd say is that I disagree with the notion that young people are particularly concerned with matters of love. At the very least, they aren't in modern times, or so it seems in my experience. Young people my age are mostly concerned with their studies and future, things like romance aren't nearly as important.

    It's hard to explain love without either straying from all logic or reducing it to simple chemical reactions in the brain. Presence of differing sexualities and preferences makes the concept even more difficult to simplify in any way. I've never experienced anything I would classify as 'love', though I've had 'crushes', so to say, so it's hard for me to think of how to explain it.

    All I would like to say on the matter is this: if someone feels that they are in love, and the one they love feels similarly towards them, there's no reason for them not to be together. As for those who don't feel such things and don't think about them, they are fine to do that, too. Whether 'true love' exists is inconsequential, as what really matters is that anyone in a relationship wants to be in it. If that alone holds true, things will work out for any couple.

    In the video people are talking about true love, how people these days find their partners with social media, how being alone isn’t that bad for them and so on. I can agree that there are people in the world who are searching for love, but at the same time there are many people in the world being alone and without love. I for example would say that finding love is quite important and I wouldn’t say that it takes a lot of things away from living your life fully, I would actually say it’s gives more to your life. And what could be best than spending time together with someone you loves.

    DENISS LV

    Love is involuntary.  Brain science tells us it's a drive like thirst.  It's a craving for a specific person. It's normal, natural to "lose control" in the early stage of romance.  Love, like thirst, will make you do strange things,  But knowledge is power.  It's a natural addiction and treating it like an addiction can help you

    I don’t agree with girls reason don’t fall in love: Im to old for this. No because no year limits to love. It was been maybe in 60-70-80 years. I agree with argument when you are in love you lose myself- yourself, because you don’t have time for yourself, in your head is one love. Young people is are very concerned about the value of love, yes. Love can be different can be for the money or can be a real love with good relations. Many peoples don’t need a love, because once it will be very hurt when your boyfriend or girlfriend say stop or no, we can’t makes a relations and true love. Big number of peoples makes relations in a computer. Write messages in facebook or others social clubs. But theirs say it not safety because you don’t know who write you a message in other side. One girl in this film certainly want to have a family, to have a children, she says it our nature, yes but she not found a good men who helps her, who loves her.

    I agree with all of people who believe in true love because most of them had already found it in my opinion. But I somewhat agree with who don’t believe it. I do believe there is true love

     

    \SUMMARY

    It seems that the film “Is there true love?” has caused a lot of reflection and thinking among us. Many views, aspects were put forward on the matter.  Most important is that there is justification on the various opinions. The interaction has caused great thinking and has challenged us to think a little more about “true love”, if it really exists, if it’s worth giving it a try or sacrificing personal wants and desires, needed to support and maintain it in case it is found.

    There has been pointed out that it is in our nature to need someone to share our life, to love and be loved, to make family, to care and be cared for. From this point to the one that true love is established, it is meant clear, that someone has to invest on that. Otherwise it can’t last, it goes away. It comes out that we, young people, while we fall easily in love, we don’t know how to support it, either because selfishness trying to change the other person towards our likes and wills, or because of what we have to sacrifice in order to give space to love.

    It has also been referred to the difficulty of combining work demands with giving the necessary time to keep a relationship alive. No doubt there is a true point here. Quick rhythms of modern life, little opportunities in work area, low payment and unemployment, long working hours, high cost of life, expectations for a good standard of living make all the matter complicated. Despite the obstacles and difficulties most students believe that there is true love and if found, it’s worth working for it as it, itself, has a lot to offer to those who share it.
