Ram and Connie: Two characters who should have ended up together.

Finally watched Paris Blues and the chemistry between Ram and Connie was chemistring. From the first time they met, I could instantly see the connection. Ram touching Connie gives Carmy touching Sydney vibes, especially when Ram puts his hand on Connie’s shoulder?! That was just hot. Ram is so handsome and Connie is so gorgeous. Despite their chemistry, Ram and Connie don’t end up together. I read that this movie is based on a book and in the book, Ram and Connie end up together, but because of racism, they could not have an interracial relationship on screen.

It has been over 60 years since the movie was released and now we are seeing interracial couples on screen , but not everyone likes that. Some people say that they don’t want Sydney and Carmy together because they are platonic soulmates but let’s be honest, if Sydney was not a black woman would they say that? No.

The Bear team can take Syd and Carmy’s relationship in whatever direction they want because it is their vision and I respect that, but I really hope that Syd and Carmy don’t end up being another Ram and Connie: two characters who should have ended up together.
