When in Rome (Oct. 28)

When I thought about this idea of men fighting over the same girl, I immediately thought of the movie "When in Rome," when a woman wishes for love by throwing a coin in a fountain in Italy. However, she is under a sort of spell and every man that sees her pretty much falls in love with her from first sight. They definitely display courtly love, as all they really want to do for her is to impress her and make her "pick" them, with the exception of one guy who truly loves her, not under a spell. This movie represents elements of both "The Knight's Tale" and also this idea of courtly love from this time period. "When in Rome" is a prime example!
