一個舊的結束常常會伴隨著一個新的開始.一次偶然的相遇.兩顆心的碰撞.火花很美麗.但是短暫的.從片頭的配樂開始,我就聞到一股強烈的幸福的味道...到結尾配樂的高潮部分.這種味道充斥著我整個嗅覺器官.
片中這樣的愛只可能發(fā)生在心志成熟的人身上.事業(yè)穩(wěn)定的他們在自己的崗位上都算或小或大的成功者,卻在感情這場戰(zhàn)役中輸給了自己,輸給了感情.于是他們決定利用假期來讓自己體驗一次全新的生活,全新的環(huán)境."雖然Amanda真的不是來這個小鎮(zhèn)找愛情的.但是愛情卻找上了她."旁白中的這句話我印象很深.她的愛情發(fā)生的很浪漫.Iris是個好女人.賢良淑德.善解人意.用情專一.卻用錯了人...可憐的她遇到了同樣可憐的他.同是天涯淪落人相逢何必曾相識.
看這個片子讓我對愛有了新的看法.也許你會認為:大哥,你醒醒吧.這只是部電影.嗯沒錯!的確只是虛構出來的完美.片中每個人的出現都有他的作用.沒有"廢人".但畢竟電影的情節(jié)構思都是來源于生活,當然也高于生活的.就像我們心中的理想.我不得不再次重復著默念起我的堅持:有信念總是好的.有期待才會有樂趣.生活不要消極的復制每一天.也許我們不會像片中兩對男女那樣幸運能在一個假期中遇到自己的唯一.但你不該對自己失望.對生活失望.上帝總會眷顧到你的.只是他老人家就一個人忙不過來.總要有個先后次序的.呵.幸福屬于我們每一個熱愛生活的人.All you need is just love!Face to Faith!Let's go!
PS:某些對感情嚴重消極的朋友強烈推薦你看此片,也許不會幫到你什么實際問題.但至少你該看看這個好故事.理想也不過如此.就是因為我們在小時候看到某些成功者的表率,才會讓我們將來想成為怎樣怎樣的人.感情也是一樣.有期待總是好的:)
愿天下有情人終成眷屬...

　　and you'll meet people
　　who make you feel worthwhile again,
　　再遇到值得付出的人
　　and little pieces of your soul
　　will finally come back.
　　然后一點一點地重拾自信
　　And all that fuzzy stuff,
　　而那些模糊的回憶
　　those years of your life that you wasted,
　　那么多年浪費掉的人生
　　that will eventually begin to fade.
　　終究會開始消逝

   關于這部電影,打動我的并不是愛情,而是人如何從困境中走出來并且重新認識自己。
   片子的兩個女人亞曼達和艾麗絲都是情場失意的女子，表面上看來她們的處境是很不同的：一個是因為自己的強勢導致男友無法忍受而在外偷腥，就算是亞曼達趕他出門時，他還在為自己辯解（雖然最后無奈地承認了事實）；另一個是自己深愛的男友卻光明正大的在你面前和別人在一起，甚至他到宣布自己結婚后還可以輕易的要求你繼續(xù)充當他隨時可以利用的避風港。這是一個身處弱勢的女人。但是深層一點看，她們卻是有著同樣的問題：并沒有真正認識自己的內心，不知道自己的愛是什么樣子。亞曼達很想為失去的愛情哭泣，可事實是在她父親離婚離家，拿走過道的行李箱之后，她就再也擠半點眼淚了；艾麗絲則總是為那個用電子郵件和電話短信追蹤自己的男人心煩意亂。
   可以說這個片子里的人，兩兩具有相似的地方。上面說的是同樣作為女人的亞曼達和艾麗斯。接下來是老亞瑟和艾麗斯，亞瑟對于像他致敬的晚會，他是拒絕的，原因是他的不自信，他說他不愿意自己無法走上舞臺上，也不愿意只對著臺下寥寥幾個人發(fā)言。但是他卻讓艾麗絲看自己推薦的片子，那里面的女人都自信優(yōu)雅，具有超越常人的力量，這最后也改變了艾麗絲。對于他自己他卻不了解，他的癥結和艾麗絲是一樣的。在艾麗絲和麥爾斯的共同努力下，這老頭也終于獲得了自信，能夠輕盈地跳（跳舞）上舞臺，侃侃而談。亞瑟和艾麗絲在影片的結尾完成了互相的拯救。
   麥爾斯的感情經歷和艾麗絲有著相似之處，影片安排在致敬晚會開始前艾麗絲和找上門來的那個壞男人的對談和麥爾斯坐在女友瑪姬面前聽其道歉的橋段同時進行，到后來兩人在晚會上的相視而笑正是為了突現他們之間的這種相似點，以及對于錯誤感情的解脫和自我救贖。
   亞曼達和葛漢柏都是對自己要求嚴格的人。亞曼達在遭遇背叛后大聲對自己說冷靜冷靜，葛漢柏讓自己成為好爸爸、好編輯和好男人的愿望始終沉重的壓迫著他，他們的相遇和相愛是注定的，因為他們可以在對方身上看到彼此的痛苦。
   雖然我不敢說他們真的從此以后就能幸?？鞓返纳钤谝黄?，但至少我們要相信自我的力量，也要相信別人的力量。這些都可以幫助我們更清晰的認識自己，并且從困境中解脫吧。

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.'

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?

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.

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.

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

Miles: Don't blow away.

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.

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

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.

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.

整部片子給我留下最深印象的是那個倫敦附近的小鎮(zhèn)．

親愛的，閉上眼睛你能想到什么？

壁爐的溫暖，熱可可的純厚還是紙人先生的幽默呢？

好吧，所以她在１５歲后終于又一次熱淚盈眶．．．不同于多年前父母的離異所帶來的悲傷這次是因為感動．當她喝到同樣放了５顆蜜餞果子的熱可可的時候；當小女孩告訴她她可以留下睡在神秘的小帳篷里的時候；當紙人先生輕輕觸碰到她手的時候．．．我想那個時候她的心已經融化了．她開始漸漸接受不再防備和不斷克制自己的感情．以至于當汽車司機說開回去會很慢的時候她毅然決定要跑著回去．盡管她的鞋跟實在高的嚇人～

如畫般的田園小鎮(zhèn)，格子圍巾以及木頭小屋．．．．它們真的很英倫

雪天里的小鎮(zhèn)，還有什么是不可能的呢？

因為它溫馨得很有道理．
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　好了，到這里吧，就到這里了

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　晚安，各位
