To never have been born may be the greatest boon of all.

This is amazing! I was so nervous for Christ not to be caught! And fortunately, he gets the luck. Henry once commented Christ for "Cool under pressure, but creative. " So, tennis players are amazing, see how he can apply this composure to social-climbing and murder. Last but not least, Christ is just so lucky. How he met Tom and immediately get along with him. Christ did not seem try too hard, which is a plus for a social-climber. Maybe all this is not unlike playing tennis? Also, this sentence by Sophocles quoted by Christ is a classic: "To never have been born may be the greatest boon of all."

I admire Woody Allen so much. How could he portray a social-climber so well! The plot was somehow rendered so real that I can almost empathize with Christ. You know he is not a good guy, but you just want him to succeed, you understand his struggles and decisions. At the same time, you feel bad about what he is going through and what he has committed. All those things remind me of Elliott in Maugham's. Wow, now I am comparing Woody Allen with Maugham!

    Half an old-fashioned romance film + half Hitchcock, the first half was sleepy, and the last half hour broke out in a cold sweat. So if Mycroft ping pong beats Nora, the movie ends early (emphasis is skewed)

Match Point quotes

  • Christopher "Chris" Wilton: I got involved with a woman. Very nice. Family's got nothing but money. Big estate, servants, polo ponies. All quite lovely.

    Henry: Hey, look, I understand. It beats getting your heart broken all the time by the top seeds.

    Christopher "Chris" Wilton: Isn't it amazing how much of life turns on whether the ball goes over the net or comes right back at you?

  • Tom Hewett: Something's just changed in her face. I mean, I - we barely spoke.

    Heather: Tom said she looked a bit hard.

    Tom Hewett: Yeah, well, she's always, you know, been a lady of the sauce, so to speak. And I think it kind of runs in the family, but, I don't know, I mean she's still got that "come-hither" look.
