Cultural differences protect it from falling into pieces

If this movie uses a group of Chinese actors + dialogue in Mandarin on the land of China, then the story is as plain as water, and there is nothing new in it. And it is estimated that Chinese audiences will sneer at the movie a lot.
The place of the story is parties, dinners, outings; dinners, outings, parties...are going on.
The content of the story is: half friendship, half love (this is a lyrics, now it is turned into a movie version, and it is still a female version).
Traditional Chinese people generally cannot accept this kind of storyline: they have already talked about marriage and made a marriage contract, but they are still disconnected from their old classmates, even if this old classmate is your best friend or best friend. ! To be honest, I can't accept such a plot at all.
Watching Chinese movies, I have never eaten pork, and I have always seen pigs running away. To watch foreign movies, you still need to raise pigs. This is the cultural difference.

    Forget it, this movie is still to be continued, I'm about to fall asleep watching it, what a boring plot, what a boring relationship between a man and a woman, if I didn't have a crush on both heroines, I really don't want to watch this movie.

Something Borrowed quotes

  • Rachel: What the hell was that?

    Ethan: Me? You broke my nose.

    Rachel: I'm sure I didn't break your nose.

    Ethan: God. And what is all this about us having sex? Jesus, Rachel, just leave me out of your goddamn soap opera.

    Rachel: No one asked you to get involved, Ethan.

    Ethan: Really? So why have I been listening to this bullshit all summer? Rachel, do something. Because this is just pathetic. But you know what? At the end of the day, you two deserve each other 'cause he's never gonna do anything. You're never gonna ask him to, and let's be honest... you and I both know that, even if you did, she will never let you have him.

  • Ethan: Rachel. Okay, look, I get it. You're in a tough spot because you love him. But you gotta do something about it, Rachel. Because he's being a coward. If he breaks your heart, I'm gonna take a swing at him. Then I'm gonna let him beat me up.

    Rachel: I gotta go to work. I'm late.

    Ethan: I know! Rachel, that's the point. Be late. Better yet, quit. At least it would be a decision. Rachel! You're all going to hell anyway, so you might as well do something for yourself. For once. Rachel, you deserve to be happy.

    Rachel: Then butt out. That would make me happy. I'll figure it out on my own.

    Ethan: Oh. Oh, that's great. Let me know how that goes.
