相思成灾

Love and other disasters爱很复杂：Jacks和James的爱情Jacks和James所谓的爱情中，Jacks其实并不爱James，顶多称得上喜欢，而这种喜欢也只是因为James补了她生活的空缺而已，像Jacks自己所说，她只是碰巧在乎他而已，而他又是那么聪明和有风度。

Jacks是个不愿意去为冒险的人，她害怕在真爱面前受伤。

正如Peter对她的评价，她只愿意和她不爱的人做爱，而且只爱不曾念想与她做爱的人。

这就是Jacks的恋爱原则，这就是她避免受到爱情创伤的原则。

所以她会选择一直呆在这个过去现在式的男朋友身边，因为既安全又保险。

至于James，我觉得他是一个沉溺在爱情中却逃避恋爱过程中问题的人。

其实他早就意识到：三年了，Jacks只是把他当做一个床伴而已，尤其是当Jacks睡眼惺忪在清晨对他说那句显然很惯用的套话，“你恐怕要走了，我朋友要过来迟早午饭”时，James就已经感觉他在Jacks心中的地位了，但他并未反省和思考这段不真实的感情。

而是，直到后来Paolo的频繁出现，才使他不得不面对现实，承认他和Jacks之间只是一场互相欺骗对方和自己真实感情的游戏而已。

爱很偶然：Peter和Tom的爱情Peter和Tom的爱情中，那次前堂偶遇很关键，爱情的产生有时候就是仅这样一个照面的时间。

Peter永远幻想着他心中理想的男友，那个人一定很风趣，知性，绅士，性感。

当Peter在前堂与Tom碰撞的一霎那，那惊鸿一瞥，仿佛他小说里所有的幻想都在现实中找到了灵魂的附体，没有一句谚语交流，他已认定Tom就是the one.而后来，残酷的现实让我们看到一见钟情毕竟稀有，没有交流与理解的爱情是靠不住的。

当久久暗恋的陌生人就躺在Peter的身边时，他却比以往更寂寞，能慰藉他的还是灯下那本自己的小说里的幻想男友。

Tom这个人虽然戏里情节不多，但只要听几句他与Peter烛光晚餐上的对话，很容易就看出他是个自大狂加自恋狂。

整个对话中，他不渴望聆听，不渴望相互交流，只想自己做个演说家，然后blah blah blah个没完。

Tom不在乎和一个人在一起需不需要感情，他需要的只是一个可以以他为中心并且围着他转的附庸而已。

爱很疯狂：Tallulah和Tony的爱情Tallulah与Tony的爱情。

Tallulah实际上是一个性格直爽并且略显神经质怪异的女人，并且她对爱情的态度也很忠诚，因为剧中她很在乎一夫一妻制，与相好才一个周的男友Freedom就开始讨论这个问题，最终总导致分手。

她总是希望她遇上与她有缘分，并且理解她，并且不奢望她的钱的一个好男人。

然而，生活并没有那么顺心，所以她的每次出场都手中夹着一支烟，以排解心中烦忧。

讽刺的是最终她爱上了朋友们都鄙夷的色情电话接线员Tony,而Tony刚好符合了她脆弱的心。

Tony的出现满足了Tallulah对男朋友的各种设想。

首先，Tony与Tallulah是通过电话认识的，是很随意偶然的情况下认识彼此的；其次，和工作性质有关，Tony说话一定很sweet，这让Tallulah觉得是一种理解；最后，Tony很虚幻，他根本不知道Tallulah是谁，也就不奢望她的金钱。

当然这段爱情还是以失败告终，因为毕竟很疯狂。

爱是让自己做个选择：Peter和David的爱情正如像Jacks劝告Peter的那样，不要再去幻想或导演你的爱情，你应该试着亲身去邂逅，爱情有的时候没有那么惊世骇俗，有些时候它只不过是摆在你面前的一个选择而已。

你需要把不切实际的幻想都收进你的小说里。

正是这席话让Peter豁然开朗，最终作出决定，选择了温文尔雅,成熟稳重，以及他同样爱幻想的David.爱是给别人一个机会：Jacks和Paolo的爱情正如当Jakes知道Paolo不是gay的时候，Peter劝告Jacks的那样，你从来没有真正想过要看到Paolo对你的真实感受是什么，你总是选择和你不爱的人恋爱是因为你害怕受伤，你怕打破你的原则。

而Paolo没有改变，他还是同一个人，仍然是你认为的那个善良，聪明，可爱，性感的人，唯一改变的只是你们之间所发生的事情，最重要的是他还会探戈！

也正是闺蜜Peter的一席话开导了差点失掉真爱的Jacks,她不知道Paolo会不会是真命天子，但她愿意给Paolo这样一个成为可能的机会。

P.s：也许真爱就是一个和另一个人冒险的决定，一个付出而不考虑别人回报的决定，甚至不在乎他们是否会伤害你，还是他们正好是你想找的另一半。

或许爱不是轻而易举就发生在你身上的事，或许你应该主动去做出选择。

My favorite line,"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 choice with somebody. To give 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."最近看了太多现实的电影，却很喜欢。

Two Lovers，500 Days of Summer。

我们不再年幼，不应该再相信命中注定的人一定会出现这件事情。

There's nothing in world called fate. 你觉得匆匆把某些人放过不要紧，因为he's not the one. But what if he is? What if the one has already showed up in your life and you haven't even given him a chance? 我们爱一些人，却和另一些人共度余生；我们相信自己已经遇到了谁，却没想到这个谁会转身离开，遇见他的the one.Sometimes a serious relationship is far beyond us. Maybe just a random one can light the life up and totally change it! So please don't stuck in the middle of your life even if it's already a shit...

推荐理由：台词精美到字字珠玑。

片 名：《相思成灾》 （Love and other disasters）导 演：阿莱克•凯西西恩主 演：布莱特妮•墨菲、圣地亚哥•卡布瑞、马修•瑞斯出品时间：2007年读 家：石头花园的歌女推荐指数：四星半来，让我们回忆一下，上世纪5、60年代的奥黛丽•赫本是什么样？

——栗色头发，黑眼盖，睫毛深重好似蝴蝶翼，双腿修长，赤脚穿浅口平底鞋，露出巧倩细幼的足踝。

今次这部《相思成灾》里，布莱特妮•墨菲全盘拷贝这一造型，恰恰暗合近年时尚界六零年代风潮卷土重来的趋势，遗憾的是，没有了赫本清瘦的双颊跟尖俏的下巴，立刻俗气得不行。

所以说，精致不可以被模仿，只可以被造就。

其实客观点讲，墨菲不是没有可观之处，但是嘿，谁让她的原型是奥黛丽•赫本？

墨菲饰演的杰克丝，是英国《时尚》杂志的摄影助理，成日开复古风银灰Mini Cooper在伦敦四处乱闯，虽然神经大条，却懂得在违章停车之后，从自家包中掏出一张罚单夹在雨刮器上，看时不禁要失笑，这一招古灵精怪的“苦肉计”，在车位难找的北京城，倒也不失为一则妙着。

是典型现时代女子——与前任男友仍保持肉体关系，跟Gay男好友合租，热衷罗织周遭密友的花边事业，视婚姻为儿戏，整个人无厘头得很，但仍然，该死地，渴望爱情。

你看，她仍然会在星期日午后不知第多少遍观赏《蒂凡尼早餐》，每每《月亮河》音乐渐入，杰克丝面孔便松弛下来，卸去一身无爱不摧的盔甲，她脸上有一种表情几乎称得上是温柔。

而窗外泰晤士河静静流淌，摩天轮屹立城市一角，缓缓旋动。

陈奕迅那首《幸福摩天轮》怎么唱的？

——天荒地老流连在摩天轮，在高处凝望世界流动，失落之处仍然会笑着哭，人间的跌宕默默迎送。

真是好歌，需带着爱意来唱。

那么到底何为真爱？

它是一道闪电么？

是否遇到真爱的人都会如晴天霹雳，五雷轰顶？

并且爱过之后留下明明暗暗的残疾与伤口，如同原子弹爆炸后的广岛和长崎？

或者真爱可能仅仅是一个阴谋，一个资本主义的阴谋，一个由电影业、出版业和音乐界联合编造的谎言，整件事情，这个概念其实从来就没有存在过？

整部电影拍得十足机智，其中几番乱点鸳鸯谱真真要把人笑翻在当场。

其中有一个桥段，心理学家将恋情比喻为放屁，简直又猥琐又精准。

而当杰克丝不无神往地说起，“也许有天早晨起来，我会觉得我恋爱了，你知道，兴奋、眩晕，还有点恶心”，她的Gay男好友彼得立即泼之以冷水，“不，那不是恋爱，那是流感。

”当然，电影到底是电影，再无厘头的不靠谱女青年到最后也一样会有为她度身订制的完美男士为伴——拉丁血统，黑发，深暗的黑眼睛，豹一般漂亮的身型，真诚，善良，有才华。

他甚至会跳探戈！

那段探戈不过才只有一分钟，但其热辣缠绵直叫人想起同样以探戈舞段著称的《真实的谎言》以及《闻香识女人》。

啧啧啧，电光幻影，每秒钟二十四格的幻觉。

还是说回到奥黛丽•赫本。

其实不可追想的，纽约第五大道上，那个穿着优雅小黑裙一边啃面包一边在蒂凡尼橱窗前流连不去的女子早已消失于时间，而这个形象固然不可磨灭，却也不可复制——造成她的那个时代已经彻底过去了。

我们的时代偏爱沙哑的性感，恰到好处的粗糙和似是而非的甜美，一切与赫本的时代是那么不同，但爱情，爱情是我们永恒的软肋，四海列国千秋万载，莫不如是。

来吧，向奥黛丽•赫本致敬，如果不能以与她同等的美貌，那至少，以爱情。

2007-11-17

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。

早上起床发现两节课都过去了，慢慢悠悠的下床，叫外卖，查四级成绩，和B时有时无地发消息讨论韩国的花样男子，最后打开亲爱的呆呆找电影。

很想看看午夜巴塞罗那，很想看看亲爱的斯嘉丽在伍迪艾伦的手下又成了什么样子，于是打开优酷找电影。

可是奇奇怪怪犹犹豫豫莫名其妙的女性心理，让我突然觉得在线看电影是一种折磨，然后又打开ftp下电影。

亲爱的ftp果然没有让我失望，没有伍迪艾伦。

难得静下心来抛弃电视剧的我难得有心情的搜寻其他电影。

love and other disaster，翻译成相思成灾，哦哦，很像最近的心情，点击下载。

室友看过这部电影，她的评价：没意思，无聊，no surprise。

可是我却从第一分钟开始兴致勃勃。

我喜欢女主角的装扮，其实我并不迷恋蒂凡尼早餐和奥黛丽赫本，但女主角浓重眼妆和低哑粗狂的嗓音还有很适合穿黑色紧身袜的身材让我着迷，她和伦敦一起有种复古的摩登感觉。

最喜欢她追去机场时穿的白衬衫和到膝盖的紧身袜，匆忙起床的感觉，让人觉得有一种随意的美感。

所以，我决定为了她，去看sin city。

看电影一直和心情有关，今天是最近一个月里面最平静的一天，所以很适合看这个没有高潮的可是很适合现实的片子。

还记得很早很早以前，S问我是喜欢与生活接近的电影还是完全超脱生活的电影，我当时的回答是我喜欢与电影接近的生活。

那些超脱生活的电影使我不相信爱情和友情，愈是美好愈让人觉得虚假。

可是这部片子里混乱的感情线就像我现在的生活，谁对谁一见钟情，谁对谁劈腿，谁失去了谁而神经质，谁和前男友藕断丝连，谁幻想谁，谁觉得没有安全感。

这些事情大概已经俗到全世界遍地可见，混乱的纠结在一起就是现实中的生活。

大爱里面那个屁屁理论还有peter劝Jacks的那段话。

我们其实都一样，只敢和不爱的人恋爱，只能爱不恋爱的人，这样才能不会真正受伤。

有谁够勇敢说永远爱，又有谁更有勇气相信呢。

也许我们最好的结局也只能和女主一样，不要再等待那个命中注定的一见钟情，爱情不是突如其来的瞬间，有时也许只是身边慢慢长流的感情所演变而来的。

也许也许，我也应该相信慢慢熬出来的爱情咯？

是不小心下载到这片子。

但结果很喜欢。

女主角的声音很美。

在早晨，请他前男友离开的说话声。

对白也有够搞。

身材也不错。

在片子里很多处都有展示，有点肉的丰满性感，加上沙哑的声音，挺配的。

轻松的小幽默，很多处。

裸坐在高脚椅上看naked shef；在保罗面前边脱离去洗澡边向他介绍新男友。

跳探戈时候很漂亮的。

挺轻松的，也许是像英国人喝下午茶的调调。

挺喜欢几处英国街头的画面。

当然很多电影都会有这种画面：女主角穿着漂亮的高跟鞋和大衣或裙子，从街的这一边到那一边。

画面的建筑物是灰色的，虽然灰，感觉空气是清新的。

总之这是很轻松的片子，又轻松又好玩，英语又好听。

哈哈。

我喜欢。

爱情，或是灾难？

游离在爱与虚幻中的人，也许爱情本身就是虚幻的，真爱是什么，是否真的存在？

我们苦苦追寻的东西难道都只是一种想象，或者只是人在非理性状态中的一种奢求？

相思成灾（Love and other disasters)给了我们一个思考爱情的角度，也许不完全正确，但电影表达的观点却能给在爱海中挣扎的人们一点点借鉴。

爱给人牵线搭桥的时尚杂志女助理Jacks，陷入了与前男友James有性无爱的后恋爱阶段，性关系只是一种安慰别人的手段，只能对无法和她产生爱情的gay men袒露真心，却在误打误撞之后重新认识了自己也开始认识别人。

同性恋准编剧Peter，陷入了自己内心幻想的真爱之中，却发现原来真爱需要的也许并不是一时的感觉，而是慢慢了解的过程，一开始拒人于千里并不是一个正确做法。

前卫诗人Tallular，能写出让人呕吐的诗，纠缠于婚外情和电话情人之间，却发现其实都是自己骗自己，最后竟然与从头讨厌到尾的James成为了一对。

痴情的同性恋艺术家Finlay，仍然无法忘怀已经过世10年的男友。

英俊有才华的阿根廷摄影师Paolo，纠结于真爱与误会之中，终于在结婚之前的那一刻表明了自己是直人的身份，却因此而无法结婚，看似荒唐，却很合理。

电影中的爱情，往往有太多的假设和太多的谎言，真爱是否真的只是电影、出版等产业所包装出来用来迷惑人们的一个词，是否有永恒的爱情？

电影中的Jacks是一个很有主见、很会关心别人的好女孩，她积极热心得帮好朋友撮合对象，永远在朋友需要的时候提供帮助，即使有时只是一只耳朵的力量，甚至为了不伤害前男友太深，而以夸张的方式继续着两人的后恋爱关系（虽然结果是让人觉得根本没有和她分手）。

一直以来，她都无法真正爱上直人，她只愿意相信同性恋的男性朋友，也许是同性恋男人能够从更为客观和体贴的角度来分析问题，而不会想要控制她。

但生活本来就是在改变，在遇到了值得信任和付出的人时，她终于认识到了自己的问题，尝试着改变自己的规则，去追寻自己所爱。

就如她所说，她也并不知道这人是否就是今生唯一，是否就是不可替代，但她选择给彼此一个机会，真爱是一个过程，而不是一个以高潮为结局的好莱圬大片。

可以相信一见钟情，但那种爱情中幻想的成分要多于现实，什么是真爱，也许每个人的说法不一，而有过体会的人也不一定能说得清。

真爱，也许就是在梦想照进现实的那一霎那，突然获得的某种感情，真实与虚假本来就很难区分。

与爱情有关的真实，也许也包含着某种虚假。

爱情就像时尚，瞬息万变，没有人能够预测下一秒会发生什么，也没有人能够真正解读。

也谈谈电影的细节处理，导演很擅长铺垫和用镜头说话，营造喜剧效果的背后也引起人的思考。

前一秒钟大家才提到David Williams的拍卖会上，许多富婆争相出高价以引起拍卖人注意，下一秒钟Tallular就在慈善拍卖上出高价，引起了全场围观（虽然拍卖官是个不认识的家伙），Peter的幻想症不仅仅是在他的脑海里，还多次呈现在观众面前，那些幻想的真实感一开始唬住了我，Jacks和Paolo对于时尚与真实关系的讨论让人觉得他们既在说时尚，又在谈生活，谈爱情。

纯粹的视觉享受就不提了，虽然是一部爱情喜剧，却和好莱圬的轻松爱情喜剧不太一样，导演对于故事的处理思想更为深刻，一部值得推荐的电影。

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..

Maybe true love is a decision, 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.We should find out that true love is an event, not a process.

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。。。。。。
