      Lonely people are not alone if they meet

      The withdrawn and eccentric fairy tale writer Henry and illustrator Reddy the Elder collaborated for years to create a best-selling children's book, with Henry seeing Reddy as his only friend. Young Henry was very pessimistic about life because of his unfortunate childhood, believing that life is full of sadness and joy is just illusory. Old Ruidi, who suffered from a brain tumor, faced the ordeal with optimism. He told Henry: I love women, you, and myself, but I love living more, and life is...

      You know what life is?

      To be honest, I didn't like this movie very much at the beginning, just to pass the time, but now I like it very much, I like its realistic irony and funny, especially when the background music of OH NO OH NO is playing, I like that weird Man, the depressed guy who thinks it's safe to sleep with a book on top of him, likes to watch japanese monster movies, and he is really good at losing things, but in fact, he's just so cute.

      Life is A Single Skip for Joy.

      Whether it is on the bar in the bar,
      in the hero's home
      or at the signing meeting

      , intentionally or unintentionally,
      the actor who has just lost a family-like friendship is
      always comparing the heroine to Rudy who has passed away, intentionally or unintentionally.

      He's just a big kid who
      is always used to living under the care of Rudy's elders and friends, and
      he instinctively rejects others,
      especially
      after Rudy's gone....

      It is my stone.

      An atypical love story.

      He,
      a man who behaved erratically,
      put a heavy weight on himself to find a sense of security.

      She,
      a woman with mottled fingernails who
      couldn't pay the rent and was kicked out of the house by her mother.

      The plot started to turn warm at the 57th minute.
      The car was galloping on the highway, and
      he was sitting in the center of the back row wearing a hard hat, holding the backpack tightly in his arms.
      She...

      Love made by a stone

      I have always liked romantic movies, and I choose to watch more movies here.
      This is a very interesting movie. A man with all kinds of eccentricities: he never drives or rides a car, he only turns counterclockwise, he has to touch the ground and put heavy objects on his body to feel safe... A down-and-out woman: originally I studied literature but was forced to paint. I had a boyfriend who used to love me but ran away with my secretary. I had no money to pay the rent and I was kicked out...

    Bright narrative, fresh style. Cool colors, flashbacks of thought fragments, emotional soundtracks, and the rhythm of the interval are just right. The skilled cult film skills have been successfully transplanted into the soft love movies one by one.
    Looking at the credits, this is still director Justin Theroux's debut.
    The film starts from the narrative of the pressure in the workplace. An illustrator who is focused on finding...

    Movie quotes

    • Henry: I've spent my whole life... wanting something... and doing my very best not to find it. Never even going near the places it might be... And suddenly, I've got the goddamn thing practically chained around my neck.

      Lucy: What are you talking about?

      Henry: You. You. You're the, you're the... You're, you're- you're the goddamn thing. Ahhh, uh. I mean... You're, you're. I can't describe you... uhh, I don't, I don't write that kind of shit, I write... You know, the people who write, who write the real books, the love books, and the poems, and even those stupid little fucking novels with the hunky assholes on the cover...

      Lucy: Stop...

      Henry: You know it? You know what I'm talking about? You know - you're like Princess shit! You know? Fairytales. You know what I'm saying? The million guys are after and you're blinded by your beauty kind of shit. Real big stuff. You know, that just - even, we got the dick that kidnaps you and sticks you in a cave and you're guarded by a five-headed dragon, you know and the tales of your plight are spread throughout the land and all the guys go and put on their shoes so they can see what's up and none of them have the balls to save her except for me. I would go through anything... for you. And still, there I was looking for a way not to see it. Anything. Money...

      Lucy: You stupid idiot.

      Henry: Yeah.

      Lucy: Yes.

      Henry: Yeah... big fat stupid idiot.

      Lucy: I hope you're better to the next one.

      Henry: No - wait...

      [he digs in his bag and decides not to give her the dedication to Simone, but grabs the pebble he had given her and then thrown back onto the beach and went back for later]

      Henry: It was easy to find... it's the only one like it.

      Lucy: You broke my heart, Henry. I don't think you can trust people. You always have to find something wrong. I'm just... I'm sorry. I'll miss you.

    • Henry: I can't.

      Lucy: Yes, you can.

      Henry: We have to work.

      Lucy: Right now?

      Henry: Lucy, come on please. It's going to get very complicated. Ahh, it's going to get so complicated.

      Lucy: Do you just genuinely dislike me, Henry?

      Henry: A week ago, I didn't give a rat's ass about nebulas and now I can't get enough of them. Ok?

      Lucy: Nebulae.

      Henry: What?

      Lucy: It's nebulae... not nebulas.

      Henry: Ok, fine. I don't care about nebulas. You know accuse me of whatever you want, I'm probably guilty of it... contributing to global warming, and killing a squirrel once, and using the word retarded, and occasionally misinterpreted bigotry, but don't, don't... don't don't don't don't don't accuse me of not liking you. Ok?

      Lucy: I understand.

    • Henry: I've spent my whole life wanting something and doing my very best not to find it. Never even going near the places it might be, and suddenly I got the god damn thing practically chained around my neck.

      Lucy: What are you talking about?

      Henry: You, you're the god damned thing.
