There are better* movies to lose faith in Oscars over. The thing is that I have to wonder if it was originally meant to be a poor boy/rich girl romance, or if that became the focus because "it's what people want." It's talked about as a romance, but in the movie itself, the romance is secondary to Rose's character growth.
*substituting the word for "movies I will never in a million years watch and that exist purely to be "quality."
