Bromance. What is Bromance exactly? (bukan beromen ye rakan2x) Bromance is a combination of the words "bro" and "romance". It means close relationship between man (not gay) or best friend forever in man version. I just finished watching Supernatural and the bromance between Sam and Dean attracted me. In honor of my favourite Winchester Brothers, here's my favourite bromance couple.
The Lord of the Ring trilogies - Sam and Frodo
Will there ever be a greater Bromance than the one between Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) in the Lord of the Rings trilogy? The two of them spend a total of almost nine hours (each episode lasted about 3 hours) braving the dangers of Middle Earth, exhausted, disillusioned, lumbering toward Mount Doom to toss the One Ring into the fiery abyss and destroy it forever. Gollum, for a while, threatens their Bromance, turning them against each other as he seduces Frodo with his lies. But by the end of their journey, it's just the two Hobbits together, with Sam even carrying a near-insane Frodo the final few steps up the mountain.
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle – Harold and Kumar
This movie a prime example of a situation in which two friends, Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) stick with each other through thick and thin – a rabid racoon, a crazed Neil Patrick Harris, a stint in prison, and more – until they reach the most seemingly unattainable dream which is to eat White Castle burgers. If that’s not an example of devoted bromance, then I don’t know what is.
I Love You, Man - Peter and Sydney
Not only does this movie focus on the phenomenon of the bromance, but it is also one of the funniest comedies to come out in recent memory. Peter (Paul Rudd) realizes that his wedding is around the corner, and he has no guy friends for his wedding party. He sets out on a search to find a best man and attracted to a crazy but lovable Sydney (Jason Segal). Hilarity ensues as Peter embarks upon the close male friendship he never had, and the chemistry between Rudd and Segal is very real. This bromance is truly a match made in heaven.
Chuck - Chuck and Morgan
While Chuck, the show, quickly showed us it was going to have a great balance of Chuck's very ordinary family and work life and his new adventurous spy life, his relationship with Morgan made this show and our love for Chuck Bartowski grow more quickly than we could've imagined! One moment Chuck is risking his cover and life for Morgan by boxing Morgan's unconscious to get him away from villains, and the next Chuck and Morgan are sitting in their underwear playing video games. They are adorable, hilarious, and show a profuse amount of man-love that they profess for each other to anyone who might try to threaten the other's life, their relationship, or their nerd herd statuses!
Superbad – Evan and Seth
In Superbad, a new kind of bromance began to emerge on the big screen. For Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Micheal Cera), there is no need for guns or car chases to cement the affection the two feel for one another. Nope, it's quite simply the anxiety of adolescence, the terrors of high school, and the insatiable hunger to get laid that binds these two together. The film takes place mostly during the course of one evening just a couple of weeks before the end of high school for the pair. In one evening full of bizzarre adventure, they discover that they really can’t spend any time away from each other. Love is in the air. Purely bromatic, though, trust me.
Supernatural - Sam and Dean
Yes, these two hunks are not friends. They are brothers. That's why their love to each other are much stronger though we can see that it's hard for them to express their feeling to each other. Dean as older brother values his family and their safety more than anything else, even selling his own soul to save Sam's life. While Sam, wanted to prove to his Dean that he is not a little brother anymore but ended up causing so much trouble. But still, Dean forgives Sam and carry his brother's burden together and continue their life to kill demons and stop the Apocalypse.
(love this show so much!!)
