The Holiday

想要給自己一個輕鬆的情人節,昨天(2.14)約了一位認識很久的朋友陪我去看The Holiday。雖然先前就知道電影情節,可是看完整整兩個小時又十分鐘的影片,我滿腦子都在想著那些對話,帶著一顆充滿幸福的心走出了電影院。
這一部電影有我最喜歡的Cameron Diaz,她和Jude Law的甜蜜互動,會讓我份外想念起另一半。女人總是經過戀愛的滋潤後,還是會莫名的使用那些任性的特權,即使都分手了,你還是會想在睡前打電話給對方,還是會想要聽到他的消息,他給的關心。
這一部電影很適合失戀的朋友,這個我可以證明XD 有一段我覺得很棒的台詞
It doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends...you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood.and how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the lightand show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be,you'll go somewhere new. and you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhileagain. And little peices of your soul will finally come back. And all thatfuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventuallybegin to fade.
之所以可以印象深刻是因為這樣子心痛的感覺我也有過,當時很害怕一個人的時候,看著螢幕裡顯示的帳號流淚,我從來都不知道自己會如此的難過,也從來沒想到會有這麼一天,一個人哭到沒辦法騎摩托車停在路邊大哭...。
一直到現在,我才知道,人生就是如此,不停的一直繞著圈走,也許你可以選擇不同的路,可是到頭來,你還是會回到原點。
沒辦法,這就是人生阿

【The Holiday】經典對白

Memorable Quotes from The Holiday (2006)
Miles: It's Christmas Eve and we are going to go celebrate being young and being alive
Amanda: You know Graham, I just broke up with someone and considering you just showed up and you're insanely good-looking and probably won't remember me anyway... I'm thinking we should have sex... If you want.
Graham: Is that a trick question?

Arthur Abbott: I like this Hugo Boss, he cuts a nice suit!

Iris: Because you're hoping you're wrong. And every time she does something that tells you she's no good, you ignore it. And every time she comes through and suprises you, she wins you over, and you lose that argument with yourself, that she's not for you.
Miles: Exactly, and on top of that there's the old standby, I can't believe a girl like that would actually be with a guy like me.

Amanda: Who cut out all of those beautiful stars?
Sophie: We did.
Olivia: The three musketeers.

Sophie: Daddy, she has more marshmallows than I do.
Graham: No she doesn't, you each have five. [to Amanda]
Graham: You have five too.
Amanda: Thanks

Iris: Lowpoint!

Miles: Well, hello big dollop!

Miles: Iris, if you were a melody... I used only the good notes.

Iris: You're supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for God's sake!

Iris: I like corny. I'm looking for corny in my life.

Miles: [to Iris] You're incredible! You're a prodigy! A doodle prodigy!

Graham: I have a cow and I sew. How's that for "hard to relate to"?

Iris: I have found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said, "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought.

Iris: I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual. And I have willingly loved that man for over three miserable years! The absolute worst years of my life! The worst Christmas', the worst Birthday's, New Years Eve's brought in by tears and valium. These years that I have been in love have been the darkest days of my life. All because I've been cursed by being in love with a man who does not and will not love me back. Oh god, just the sight of him! Heart pounding! Throat thickening! Absolutely can't swallow! All the usual symptoms.

Miles: Don't blow away.

Iris: I don't know the exact quote, but can you please include the entire opening lines of the movie spoken by Iris?
Iris: A small portion of it is quoted on the page, but not the entire opening statement.
Amanda: I need some peace and quiet... or whatever it is people go away for.
Graham: I have the classic male problem of no follow through. Absolutely never remember to call after a date - but as this wasn't a date, I guess I'm off the hook.
Miles: The wind... it's what makes it so warm this time of year. Legend has it, when the Santa Anas blow, anything can happen.
Arthur Abbott: Iris, in the movies, we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason, you're behaving like the best friend.
Graham: Long distance relationships can work, you know.
Amanda: Really? I can't make one work when I live in the same house with someone.
Arthur Abbott: Say a man and a woman both need something to sleep in and both go to the same men's pajama department. The man says to the salesman, "I just need bottoms," and the woman says, "I just need a top." They look at each other and that's the 'meet cute.'
Graham: I have a cow, and I sew. Now how's that for hard to relate to.
Amanda: I'm leaving in nine days and that makes this complicated.
Graham: Ok [they then passionately kiss]
Iris: It doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. and how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. and you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little peices of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade.
Olivia: Mr. NAPKINHEAD!
Amanda: Are you D-I-V-O-R-C-E-D?
Graham: No I'm W-I-D-O-W-E-D.
Hannah: My god, I've just noticed how pathetic you are.
Iris: Really? I'm *so* aware of it.
Amanda: Sex makes everything more complicated. Even not having it because the not having it makes it complicated.
