      Step by step to discover your true love

      First of all, I sighed that such a woman was her best friend with a homosexual, maintained a sexual relationship with a man she did not love, matched a pair of homosexuals, and misunderstood her true destiny.
      The process of finding love, including homosexuality. This film is criticizing love at first sight, because the first impression may indeed be an illusion, just like PETER to TOM, JACKS to PAOLO, misunderstood love, all of which are absurd at first glance, but human nature is like...

      Like Jacks, but can't understand GAY

      I like Jacks' personality, but can't understand why it's GAY. Paolo is very handsome, an ideal marriage partner for girls, gentle and considerate, but lacks some personality.

      The style of the film is indeed very British, and the color tone feels very comfortable. The three most earthy colors, black and white, make me feel a lot like an art film, but it describes love.

      It's more like a movie to watch, with a humorous style. It will be very interesting when you have time to...

      I like it very much so cute~

      I have to say that this is one of the best love movies I've ever seen. I
      really like the director's shooting technique~ It's so cute~

      I like Jacks' character and love for her friends.
      She threw the ticket in the car Window's behavior is so cute~
      She is busy connecting with friends, so she often ignores herself.. Even if she breaks up with her boyfriend, in order not to hurt him, she still maintains a physical relationship.
      She is also afraid of hurt . Afraid of...

      If there is such a roommate

      Jacks' roommate Peter is a very comfortable, healthy, careful and patient roommate, and
      more importantly, he is gay, but not girllish.
      There is such a roommate,
      you can feel safe at home even if you are naked, and
      you can drink and get drunk outside without fear of not being able to go home,
      because he is a friend who has absolutely no desire for you,
      and he has enough strength and tenacity
      to guarantee . your personal safety.
      Such a roommate
      has the...

      True Love · Proverbs

      - Don't keep thinking about "love at first sight", just go on a few more dates.
      - I can tell at a glance who is my rightful son.
      - I don't think so. Not all love is like lightning, maybe sometimes it's just a "choice".
      - Of course it's easy for you, you're going to fly to Argentina to meet your real name.
      - It's the truth, I'm not sure if PAOLO is my real name, but I decided to give him this chance.

      I have to say, the translated name made me see it for many years but didn't intend to. It's not exactly the same as what the translated name expresses~ Jax is too stupid, too self-centered, and will become blind and make wrong choices. Therefore, the first part of 2012 is recommended to all the cool guys~ Life is complicated, but love will still exist. Don't close your...

    Movie quotes

    • Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: So stop living your life like you're in some kind of a movie.

      Peter Simon: Excuse me?

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: Stop trying to cast your true love instead of just meeting him.

      Peter Simon: When I meet him, I'll know.

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: I'm not so sure. Love isn't always a lightning bolt, you know? Maybe sometimes it's just a choice.

      Peter Simon: Well, that's easy for you to say! You're flying to Argentina to meet the love of your life!

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: 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.

      Peter Simon: So what do I do?

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: Well, you could start by putting all of those fantasies of true love where they belong, into your work of fiction.

    • Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: ...We can't have you all alone in London on a Friday night.

      Paolo Sarmiento: You make me sound like an exchange student.

    • Peter Simon: Jack's?

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: Hmm?

      Peter Simon: What are you doing?

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: Reading this delicious recipe for beet root salad with margarine and balsamic vinegar dressing.

      Peter Simon: What are you doing with James?

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: Nothing.

      Peter Simon: You broke up with him a month ago.

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: I know. It's just sex. He fills a void. Literally.

      Peter Simon: I don't see how you expect to meet someone new if you spend all of your time with your ex.

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: Good point. Maybe I should get back together with James so I spend less time with him.

      Peter Simon: I don't think it's funny.

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: Neither do I.

      Peter Simon: What's the point of shagging someone, ad nauseam, if you know you're never gonna love them?

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: It's not so simple.

      Peter Simon: He's in love with you, Jacks, and you're not in love with him. It doesn't get more simpler than that.

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: 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 wanna 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 Simon: What?

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: In love! You know, dizzy and feverish and nausea.

      Peter Simon: That's not love, Jacks. That's the flu.

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: Well at least I'm trying, you big cynic.

      Peter Simon: I'm not a cynic.

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: Well, when's the last time you even considered falling in love?

      Peter Simon: Today!

      Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: I'm not talking about some character in a novel or a movie.

      Peter Simon: Neither am I.
