很喜欢，很喜欢。
 
 
有以下几个喜欢的原因：
 
 
1、《蒂凡尼早餐》。
女主角浓黑的睫毛膏和眼角边飞翘的粗黑眼线，神似那时的赫本。还有很多套时装，也颇似《早餐》里赫本的风格。适时响起的《Moon River》，勾引着回忆。
 
 
2、傻大姐。
爱情喜剧电影里常有的几个傻大姐，我都很喜欢。梅格瑞恩，茱莉亚罗伯茨，灵动的眼神，冲冲撞撞不管不顾的个性，神神叨叨不经意冒出两句有头脑的话，没那么典雅，多几分亲近。现实的感情或是不如人意，或是苦大仇深，或是钱来物去，或是人情世故，太苦太累太心酸。转了一圈，除了恐怖片什么的考究了一遍，还是十多年前的嗜好，爱情喜剧和傻大姐。
 
 
3、探戈。
很多老套的桥段自从被发明出来就被电影一用再用，最典型的就是探戈。印象最深的，一是《真实谎言》里的阿诺，一是《闻香识女人》的阿尔帕西诺。性感撩人的探戈，明显是要有些阅历的男人带舞才好看，那是骨子里的性感。不过这里布兰妮墨菲还是不错的，超级棒的身材跳起来有点风情。
 
 
4、后现代版配角。
配角都很经典，完全后现代版，语不惊人死不休的那种。有思想有企望，也同样在俗男俗女的感情世界里忙忙叨叨，真实又可爱。其实骨子里谁不想这样真实呢，些微的神经质，因为一些莫名的感情问题骚扰老友。谁知道是真的感情生变，还仅仅只是情绪需要发泄。
 
 
5、同性恋室友。
大约每个女孩对女主的Gay男友兼室友一定都是又羡慕又嫉妒，可以脱光光在他面前晃，可以洗澡的时候进行最有意义的谈话，可以陪你歪在沙发上看老爱情片，可以边停你唠叨边掰过脚来帮你脱高跟鞋……《Sex and the sity》里面的Carrie也有她的Stanley，可以跨着他的胳膊逛街聊天。
 
 
6、白日梦。
有一个让我眼前一亮的创意，就是插曲一样的白日梦。特别是剧作家Peter，演得跟真的似的，突然被人叫醒，才知道刚才只不过是他的白日梦。谁没有过白日梦，一见钟情的幻想，一起生活的幻想，恐惧情形的幻想，这幻想完全是突发性的又不受控制地，未必全是好的东西。也可理解为走神，可“神”的确走得很远。自己就常常这样，所以一遍一遍看到，难免会心一笑。
 
 
7、幽默。
困倦的脑袋有点钝了，记不得当时为什么笑了，只记得大晚上的，我一个人在屋子里不时大笑。英国人的幽默跟美国人的搞笑有区别的，美国人有点耍宝的感觉，英国人是一本正经冷笑话。再加上那种字正腔圆的伦敦音，无厘头的表情，无语了。
 
 
8、深刻。
有些台词，一瞬间点醒了我。现在只记得一个：Maybe true love is a decision, a decision to take a chance with somebody. Maybe love isn’t something that happens to you. Maybe it’s something you have to choose.
再有，同性恋Peter对一见钟情的执着，对爱情幻想在现实中破灭的接受，从幻想走向现实给自己和他人机会。通过同性恋写所有的爱情，又是导演的高明之处，温情而不教条。
 
  
不要装深沉，我不要装深沉，就要这样一些傻傻的片子，傻傻的笑，傻傻的骗人的真善美，来一些轻快，来一些希望。
 

我完全记不清自己看了多少遍了,总之就是很多很多很多遍,特别是下雨天.
这台词经典的 不整理下来我都觉得对不起这片子

James: Almost noon.
Jacks: I'm afraid you've got to go.
James: Excuse me?
Jacks: You've got to go. I have friends coming over for brunch.
James: What? In my apartment?
Jacks: Sorry.
James: 3 years and you still treat me like a one-night stand!

Jacks: You're never going to find anyone with that attitude.
Peter: What attitude? I'm just being realistic.
Jacks: If you're realistic, then I'm the Queen of England.
Peter: Hey! I'm the Queen of England!
Jacks: Hello, your Majesty!

Peter: He's in love with you, Jacks. You're not in love with him. It doesn't get more simple than that.
Jacks: That's not fair! I happen to care about James. A lot. And I hate the fact that he feels more than me. And I hate the fact that I'm not in love with him. Because I know I should be. Because he's smart and sweet and decent and I don't want to hurt him. So I keep hoping that I'll grow into it. That maybe one day I'll wake up and I'll feel...
Peter: What?
Jacks: In love! You know, dizzy and feverish and nauseous...
Peter: That's not love, Jacks. That's the flu.

Peter: Talullah! What's wrong?
Taulullah: Freedom's having an affair.
Peter: An affair? You've only been going out for 2 weeks!
Taulullah:Who's he having an affair with?
Peter: Me, I just found out he's married.

Klaus: So, you're Felicity's daughter?
Taulullah: Only by birth. So don't hold it against me.
Wentworth: Donatella! Excuse me.
Taulullah: Whoever designed those heels must really hate women.
Klaus: I designed those heels.
Taulullah: And thank goodness you did! Otherwise Mother's arse would be dusting the floor.

Taulluah: Oh, Peter, I feel so bad.
Peter: Come on, drink this.
Taulluah: No, I mean about you. Not getting to meet Robbie Williams(David Williams) because of me.
Peter: It's OK.

Peter: Have you ever thought this whole 'true love' thing might be a conspiracy?
Jacks: A conspiracy?
Peter: Yeah, a capitalist conspiracy. A lie concocted by the Film, Publishing and Music industries. All pushing this thing, this concept that doesn't even exist!
Jacks: True love doesn't exist?
Peter: Well, think about it. Where is it besides songs, books and films? I mean, who can honestly say 'I will always love you? '
Jacks: Whitney Houston?
Peter: Yeah, when she's high on crack. The point is, Everyone's miserable because they're looking for this nonexistent 'thing' or else they're miserable because they think they've settled for less.
Jacks: I'm not miserable. And I believe in true love.
Peter: Yeah, which is why you're still sleeping with your ex-boyfriend.

Shrink: And how long did that last?
Peter: What?
Shrink: The relationship in your head.
Peter: No. I mean, it's an ongoing problem. They only last in my head. For varying amounts of time.
Shrink: So you have a problem with monogamy?
Peter: No, no that. No, that's not my problem.
Shrink: Denial is not a river in Egypt! Not a river in Egypt. D'you see what I did there? Just that's a little therapist joke. Doesn't always work. OK, right. Paul?
Peter: Peter.
Shrink: Sorry?
Peter: Peter.
Shrink: Peter. Peter. Yes, it is. You're absolutely right. Peter. That's a good start. Well done you! I think I can help you.
Peter: You do?
Shrink: I do. I think you are stuck in that pre relationship moment of infatuation and you need to be reminded that a real relationship has many, many, many more stages.
Peter: Stages. I like that.
Shrink: Relationships are best measured by farting.
Peter: Excuse me?
Shrink:The stages of a relationship can be defined by farting. Stage 1 is the conspiracy of silence. This is a fantasy period where both parties pretend that they have no bodily waste. This illusion is very quickly shattered by that first shy 'ooh did you fart? ' followed by the sheepish admission of truth. This heralds a period of deeper intimacy. A period I like to call the 'fart honeymoon'. Where both parties find each other's gas just the cutest thing in the world. But of course no honeymoon can last forever. And so we reach the critical fork in the fart. Either the fart loses its power to amuse and embarrass, thereby signifying true love or else, it begins to annoy and disgust. Thereby symbolizing all that is blocked and rancid in the formerly beloved. Do you see what I'm getting at? Peter? Peter?

Paolo: So tell me your secret.
Jacks: What secret?
Paolo: How an American can speak like a Spaniard and dance like an Argentinean.
Jacks: I'm not American.
Paolo: No?
Jacks: Well, not technically. I was born in England. My Father was English. My Mother was Spanish. I grew up with my Mother's family in America. After my parents died.
Paolo: How old were you when you moved to America?
Jacks: Five.
Paolo: I'm sorry I didn't mean to pry.
Jacks: It's not that. It's just I don't want to be one of those awful characters out of a movie that gushes out their past while the violins play. I mean I had a bad age five. I had a terrible age five, actually. But all in all, since then, my life's been pretty blessed.

Paolo: Are you OK here?
Peter: Oh my God! Oh God!
Paolo: You don't! I... I'm so sorry!
Peter:I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry. I was just... I'm really embarrassed.
Paolo: No, no, no, listen, Peter. I really like you a lot, but...
Peter: But you don't like me in that way. Look, I know that speech. I use that speech because I actually wrote that speech...
Paolo: I'm not gay.
Peter: I didn't write that part!
Paolo: I'm straight.
Peter: Since when?
Paolo: I suppose I first noticed when I was around 8. I thought it was just a phase, you know, but eventually I had to accept the truth. I like women.

Wentworth: Well, he's good enough!
Jacks: Oh no! No, he's not good enough! Because, that man right there, the real David Williams actually exists! The real David Williams happens to be a living, breathing, on-the-market gay man!

Peter: I'm quite relieved, to be honest. At least it's over and done with. You OK?
Jacks: I'm fine. I was just up most of the night thinking...
Peter: About?
Jacks: Oh, love and other disasters.

Finlay: Are you OK?
Peter: That's him.
Finlay: Who?
Peter: That's the guy I bumped into at the Hotel!
Finlay: What?
Peter: Sorry. Excuse me, I just need to use the loo, actually. Finlay?
Finlay: Right! I'll just... Give you a hand!
Peter: I can't believe you said 'I'll give you a hand!'

Peter: Tom. Tom! It's time to get up.
Tom: What time is it?
Peter: Almost 9.
Tom: You gotta go.
Peter: Excuse me?
Tom: You gotta go. I've got some friends coming over for brunch.
Peter: Tom, you're in my apartment.

Peter:Because that way you know you can't really get hurt. Look, Paolo hasn't changed. He's still the same person. He's still the same person you know and believe in. And think is kind and smart and sweet and bloody sexy. The only thing that's changed is what might happen between you. And he can tango!

Jacks: An early departure? An early departure? What are the chances of that? If this was a movie, there wouldn't be an early departure.
Peter: If this was a movie, you'd be blonde!
Jacks: If this was a movie, you'd be famous!
Peter: That's the problem with life, it's nothing like the movies.

Jacks: Stop trying to cast your true love instead ofjust meeting him.
Peter: When I meet him, I'll know.
Jacks: I'm not so sure. Love isn't always a lightning bolt, you know? Maybe sometimes it's just a choice. Well, that's easy for you to say!
Peter: You're flying to Argentina to meet the love of your life!
Jacks: That's just it. I don't know that Paolo's the love of my life' but I've decided to give him the chance to be. Maybe true love is a decision. You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody. To give to somebody. Without worrying whether they'll give anything back. Or if they're gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one. Maybe love isn't something that happens to you. Maybe it's something you have to choose.

Berstein: 'Love and Other Disasters.' Nice title. Catchy. But it'll never fit on the marquee. How aboutjust 'Love Disasters? '
Peter: What?
Berstein: Oh...I love that Jacks. She's got that British quirkiness audiences love. 'Hello, Babies! '
Peter: Yes, but technically she speaks with an American accent because she's grown up in America so...
Berstein: Nah, it's too complicated. Let's make her English. Perfect part for Gwyneth!
Peter: Gwyneth Paltrow?
Berstein: Finest English actress of her generation! Brainstorm! Orlando Bloom as the Mexican.
Peter: Paolo's Argentinean!
Berstein: And we'll cover the American angle with Drew and Cameron.
Peter: Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz? As who?
Berstein: Playing David and Tom.
Peter: I'm sorry, you want me to get rid of the gay story line?
Berstein: I don't want you to get rid of anything! I'm just saying instead of David and Tom, we have Daisy and Tina.
Peter: I...
Berstein: Also, you gotta fiddle with that ending. We need a bigger movie moment when Jacks finally connects with Paolo.
Peter: Yes, but... Sorry, the whole point is there is no big movie moment because they both discover that true love is a process not an event.
Berstein: You know, Peter. I get it. This script is like your baby, isn't it?
Peter: Well, yes, I suppose it is...
Berstein: I understand that. Believe me, I understand that. Come here. I want to give you some advice! You gotta kill your baby! You gotta fuckin' kill your baby!
Peter: Right. Thank you. Thank you.

Peter: It's just... I don't know. I just wanted to tell the truth and somewhere along the line it got mixed up with a bunch of lies.
Jacks: Nobody goes to the movies for truth except possibly the French!
Peter: The truth is way too complicated. And unsatisfying. And hard to believe.

反正不是也经常有人找关键台词么..~~

Stop trying to cast your true love instead of just meeting him.Love isn`t always a lightning bolt.Maybe sometimes it`s just a choice.Maybe true love is a decision.A decision to take a chance with somebody.To give to somebody without worring whether they`ll give anything back.Or if they`re gonna hurt you or if they really are the one.Maybe love isn`t something that happens to you.Maybe it`s something you have to choose.

我想着一袭长裙, 穿着十寸的高跟鞋,在洒满阳光的午后街道上, 和英武的男友接吻,拥抱
我想着一套性感的内衣,黑色,蕾丝且透明, 在雪白的大床上,伴着月光 和身材结实的男友上演午夜后的热闹,
我想要完美的爱情,白天,晚上,视觉,触觉...

完美的爱情. 应该来源于一见钟情吧, 似乎一直的等待 就是为了这一瞬间的出现, 然后, 那么自信的相信,从此以后,童话就变成了现实.

而在那决定乾坤的照面之前呢;
在光鲜,高贵的生活背后, 有太多的,都是空虚绝望的寻找
你挑剔着A的身材,你鄙夷着B的外貌, 你不喜欢C是因为他不能合拍于你那高贵的审美情趣
你显得是那么的无所畏惧,甚至是在享受着单身的愉悦
而每一天晚上
你在做什么呢?
也许,只是在寻找着短暂的高潮
太多空虚的灵魂在网络的世界中冲荡,肆意的释放着孤独中的绝望,却不肯委曲求全,放下自己的准则,去爱一个值得爱的人...

为什么爱?
因为身材
因为眼睛
因为气味
因为富有
或者 是因为缘分 注定要在一起


因为太固执于所谓的原则,所以 我们不肯去爱,因为太习惯了单身的日子,所以我们再也无法去爱
一直坚信着的准则,会否有错呢?

我说,坚持没有错误, 唯一需要确定的,
就是 自己坚持的, 不仅仅是一个想像中的偶像,
或者说, 我们真的该尽早等到想象破灭的那天,
从此, 才可以真正的脚踏实地的生活.

你可以是水仙
沉迷于自己水中的倒影,直到雪白的花瓣枯萎的那天,
也可以是茉莉
没有张扬的浓郁,确有着百转千回的芳香.

电影里面, 有一切的可能
会有金发的美女,和貌美的西班牙王子,并且永远有机会弥补自己的错误,遇到下一个生命中的唯一;
生活中的我
也许已经人老珠黄了.

共勉吧

现代伦敦城的上流社会就是通晓文学熟读经典，能轻易的联想到某时某刻某出电影里面的主演的动作神态台词，时刻拿经典电影DVD出来研习;偶尔参加慈善拍卖会或画廊展览或行为艺术展，穿着另类嬉皮的服装上台发表一篇狗屁不通的诗歌;每天准时出现在喝下午茶的咖啡厅，关心些鸡毛蒜皮的瞎事，撮合异性或同性的好事；随时准备狐朋狗友的召唤，一起拜访稀奇古怪的心理医生或看相的；周五或周六晚上无聊的时候去小酒馆喝两杯啤酒神聊海侃，有雅兴的再跳个小舞再回家；夜里激情来了就回公寓过夜，但是明儿一早会准时起床提醒枕边人回避别影响白天正常的生活圈；出入代步的绝对不能是大奔劳斯莱斯之流的古板货，要开甲壳虫MINICOOPER之类精致小巧的玩具，不然就自行车代步；为了创造更多与各国肤色的帅哥美女结识的机会，必备一到两门外语应付不时之需；每天定时穿健美裤到沙龙做头发修指甲上美容院敷脸，让代理帮忙更换次日出行的衣服套装；--- 最重要的不管自己是不是金发是不是名人飞机会不会提前起飞，潮流总是充满不真实性，我们就是不停地捕捉它。。。。。。

Love,and other disasters里一些有意思的台词，一点点抠出来保存，舍不得一笑置之而后遗忘。

1. The way to a man`s heart is through his stomach.

 英文说法似乎比中文“要绑住男人的心，就先绑住他的胃”更形象生动哦。

2. "Relationships are best measured by farting."

   " Excuse me?"

   " The stages of a relationship can be defined by farting. Stage 1 is the conspiracy of silence. This is fantasy period where both parties pretend that they have no bodily waste. This illusion is very quickly shatterd by that first shy "ooh,did you fart?"followed by the sheepish admission of truth. This heralds a period of deeper intimacy.A period I like to call the 'fart honeymoon' where parties find each other`s gas just the cutest thing in the world. But of course no honeymoon can last forever.And so we reach the critical fork in the fart.Either the fart lose its power to amuse and embarrass,thereby signifying true love or else,it begins to annoy and disgust,thereby symbolizing all that is blocked and rancid in the formerly beloved..."

用“屁”来考量爱的几个阶段，很油菜也不无道理。

 

3." Love is not always a lightning bolt,but maybe just a choice, u know? Maybe sometime it`s just a choice."

   "Maybe true love is a decision.U know a decision to take a chance with sb, to give to sb,without worrying whether they`ll give anything back or if they are gonna hurt u,or if they really are the one.Maybe love isn`t sth that happens to u.Maybe it`s sth that u have to choose."

关于什么是爱情或者什么是真爱，相信爱过的人或许比没有体验过爱情的人更茫然。没有经历过，可以凭借无数电视电影还是文学作品中的描述自由想象，以此定义心中的爱情，恋爱中的人其实更会困惑，爱情的标准是什么？Ta是我的真爱么？我们这样一起就是爱情么？

于是，很多电影作品都是以探讨“何为真爱”为主题，片中男女大多不懂爱不会爱，经历一番后最终领悟。想到Love actually里关于love同样有一段经典独白。不辞辛苦抠出来分享：


　"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow airport. General opinion makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. Seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy but it's always there. Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, none of the phone calls from people on board were messages of hate or revenge, they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

 

4. True love is a process,not an event.

精辟。还需要别的语言么？NO.
