[while at dinner, JJ has been quoting Boheme to Kate. As Leopold leaves, he decides to correct JJ's errors]
Leopold: By the way. There is no "Andre" in Boheme. It's Rodolfo. And though it takes place in France, it is rarely played in French as it is written in Italian. Goodnight, Kate.
[he leaves. Charlie grins at JJ and Kate and then follows]

Kate: I'm not very good with men.
Leopold: Perhaps you haven't found the right one.
Kate: Maybe. Or, uh... maybe that whole love thing is just a grown-up version of Santa Claus; just a myth we've been fed since childhood. So, we keep buying magazines, joining clubs, and doing therapy and watching movies with hit pop songs played over love montages all in a pathetic attempt to explain why our love Santa keeps getting caught in the chimney.

Character Evaluation
James Allen Mangold used the plot and celebrity effect of the romantic comedy "Kate & Leopold" to open up a place for himself in the field of commercial films
. His "Identity" directed film, especially thriller art to the extreme, at the same time, it also contains and conveys rich cultural connotation. "Identity" opened up the channel between detective mystery novels and thrillers, and demonstrated the desirability and social effects of this unique film style of thrillers; it built a bridge of communication between movies and social thoughts; The intertextual dialogue between Agatha and Sartre caused audiences to ponder about social phenomena and the construction of human beings; standing at the height of philosophy, they surpassed the limitations of phenomenon disclosure, inspiring audiences to pay attention to criminal groups and the survival and nature of human beings. More importantly, in the dialogue and transcendence with Agatha’s detective mystery novels and Sartre’s existentialism, James Allen Mangold showed the world the diverse and complex nature of American culture, especially film culture.
