A few days ago, we posted our first OTP-video on youtube about one of our favourite movie couples, Olive Penderghast and "Woodchuck" Todd. Even though 'Easy A' is a comedy, we admired the depth with which their childhood friendship is portrayed. Throughout the movie, it gradually blossoms into romance and Todd proves to be a true friend by staying at Olive's side despite all the rumours concerning her.
We especially loved the sincerity between these two and their respect for each other's feelings. Our first video is told from Todd's perspective, confessing his romantic feelings toward Olive which he's kept hidden for a long time. His feelings towards Olive are - in our opinion - beautifully reflected in Train's song "Drive by": Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you, this is not a drive by.
Especially in light of everyone else is treating Olive like a common prostitute, these lyrics are very meaningful. Todd protects and saves Olive multiple times throughout the movie, proving to be a real strong shoulder. However, since they are a young adult couple, we decided on a song with a slightly more upbeat sound and tempo to accurately portray their emotional life.
However, romance was not the most important part of 'Easy A'. Instead, a young woman's struggle to find herself is funnily and often poignantly shown. Todd is an essential part of the story, representing a more mature side in her. Their relationship eventually helps Olive turn her life around and accept who she is.
There is real support and respect in their relationship. This makes them a real one, true pairing (OTP) in our eyes. We hope you enjoyed our first video - watch out for more to come!
Love,
One True Production
