Seeking love in the home town
Context: "Can someone explain the American obsession in films to people returning to their home towns and rediscovering old flames? It's such a pervasive storyline. Why?"
Perhaps a reflection of America's history as a rootless frontier nation.
Relationships are about binding, stability, continuity.
Seeking a home-town flame implies a return to rootedness in this footloose nation.
