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.

Something Borrowed quotes

  • Ethan: [about Dex] Oh my God. So when are you gonna tell him? Do you want me to tell him? I would love to tell him.

    Rachel: It's none of your business. I told Darcy to marry him. I'm bowing out.

    Ethan: Rachel, she just told you she's cheating. You want your opportunity, take it.

  • Ethan: I don't really get it. I don't get how you let her win all the time.

    Rachel: Wow.

    Ethan: Oh, no. "Wow" nothing. Because if the tables were turning, you'd think she'd let you win?

    Rachel: Will you stop? What is it with you two? Why do you hate her so much?

    Ethan: What are you talking about? I don't hate her. I hate the fact that you yield at her at every turn.
