    Young is good

    Profound means more pain and less likable. In our age, profundity is a disgusting thing. What is really likable is to pretend to be profound, that is, things and speeches that "look very profound" ——This opening sentence can probably summarize the movie.

    Just like Woody’s words but not so interesting, what attracted me more was the director’s debut and the film made by a group of non-professional actors. It was so mature and the script scheduling was very good.

Metropolitan quotes

  • Charlie Black: Of course there is a God. We all basically know there is.

    Cynthia McLean: I know no such thing.

    Charlie Black: Of course you do. When you think to yourself, and most of our waking life is taken up thinking to ourselves, you must have that feeling that your thoughts aren't entirely wasted, that in some sense they are being heard. Rationally, they aren't. You're entirely alone. Even the people to whom we are closest can have no real idea of what is going on in our minds. We aren't devastated by loneliness because, at a hardly conscious level, we don't accept that we're entirely alone. I think this sensation of being silently listned to with total comprehension... something you never find in real life... represents our innate belife in a supreme being, some all-comprehending intelligence.

  • Tom Townsend: Pomfret. Where did you go?

    Jane Clark: Farmington. Both of us did.

    Tom Townsend: Did you know Serena Slocum there?

    Jane Clark: The inevitable question.

    Tom Townsend: What?

    Jane Clark: All the guys ask that. Serena had an incredible number of boyfriends. At least 20. She could manage it because they were all at different schools and she wrote letters incredibly quickly - three in a single study hall. She became really famous. It's incredible how naive some guys are. How do you know Serena?

    Audrey Rouget: [Interrupting] Actually, that might give someone the wrong impression. She wrote a lot of guys, but I'm sure she liked some a lot more than others.

    Jane Clark: Oh, you think so? I never noticed that. How do you know Serena?

    Tom Townsend: I was one of her boyfriends.

    Jane Clark: [Taken aback] Oh! You must be "Pomfret." Your letters were really good.

    Audrey Rouget: Yes.
