Just recently we've had 3 blockbuster movies: Matrix, Spiderman and James Bond where the central theme of the entire movie series was some dude moving heaven and earth to win the affection of a woman he just met, or a who was just 'meh' about him. The idea is that once the man does some grand gesture, now the woman goes from being 'meh' about him, to being wildly in love with him. This is a huge trope in Hollywood which contributes to the army of misguided simps out here who think that some grand gesture will convince some indifferent woman to love them. Furthermore, this trope is heavily directed towards men. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen a movie where a woman moves heaven and earth to win over some guy's love.
