Is there such a thing as Platonic friends?

"Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship"

Look at film alone and you’ll be hard-pushed to find examples of platonic love between a man and woman, and where you do, inevitably one or both characters involved will start to feel a certain je ne sais quoi, a physical attraction, a change in the dopamine levels in their brain, that starts them questioning whether they can remain ‘just’ friends.

All the cool friendships are heterosexual same-sex friendships between the main characters that shine in films like Thelma and Louise, Beaches, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Shawshank Redemption, and that also make us roar laughing like Shaun of the Dead and Bridesmaids.
