International Kissing Day arises thanks to a couple from Thailand who broke the record with the longest kiss, 58 hours, thus making this day official for an action of love and affection that in the last year has been so difficult to practice. It is difficult to find out what the origin of this act is, since there are different myths and beliefs around its birth. In the Bible Judas kisses Jesus, in ancient Persia it was common for men to kiss, in medieval times it was impure to kiss a maiden, and it wasn’t until the time of the Industrial Revolution that kissing probably became an act. Common as a way of showing affection, but always in privacy. It is known that the kisses that we remember the most are the first and the last. In order not to stop feeling those butterflies in your stomach and remember the best kisses on the big screen, from Status we choose the ten best movie kisses.
The bodyguard
The movie The Bodyguard, 1992, was directed by Mick Jackson. Kevin Costner, the bodyguard, shared the screen with the singer Whitney Houston. Although it was not very well received by critics, the song “I Will always love you” would become one of the most successful romantic songs to date. A love story that will always be marked by its soundtrack.
titanic
It is difficult for a James Cameron film not to be an absolute success, but when he presented the Titanic project, everyone expected the worst. However, Titanic became one of the highest grossing films of all time worldwide, a title that it retained for more than a decade until it was displaced by Avatar (also directed by Cameron). The protagonists Jack and Rose would star in one of the most emblematic scenes in the world of cinema, the kiss on the bow of the Titanic. A love story with a tragic ending.
From here to eternity
