Dream or Reality, Escape or Stay

This story looked a little boring at the beginning.
But soon I was attracted in it

It is about a girl who is put upon, whose job is like a prison, whose life has lost all meaning.
Other people don't get her, especially her husband.
One day she meets a boy who is also put upon, and they fall in love.
After spending their whole lives never getting got, with one look they get each other completely.
The boy wants to run away with the girl, but the girl hesitates.
In the end, without running away together to the wilderness never to be heard again, the good girl goes back to her normal life, while the boy shoots himself dead.

It is about dream and reality, escape and stay.
The ending is a little sad, but it is the only possible way.
Escaping is something can never happen in real life.

Say something about Jennifer.
As is written on the poster, Jennifer Aniston's performance is stunning.
Justine Last-the good girl she played in this movie is so different from Rachel Green in "Friends".
Justine is not young, not fashionable, not cute, not funny, not happy...
But she is so real.
I do like Jen acting in that Rachel way, but she is good when playing somebody different. Good for her!

Jake Gyllenhaal, the Brokenback Moutain cowboy, is just perfect for his character-he is so blue!

And Justin's husband, whose is as strong as Vince Vaughn, is a really good guy , though boring enough.
I was a little moved when he fixed the TV for Justin while she was out with somebody else...

All in all, it is a good movie, which has a good story, good actors and good actresses.

The Good Girl quotes

  • Holden: [in a letter to Justine] Dear Justine, because of you I will be quitting the Retail Rodeo. The last two days have been the most God awful of my life. I've not been able to get rid of you in my head. I've never wanted anything so bad and I have wanted many things. I'd given up long ago on being gotten by someone else, and then you came along. The idea that I could be gotten because of circumstantial never get got is the worst feeling I've ever felt and I have felt many bad feelings. I'm sorry I can never see you again, Justine. Forgive me for being so weak, but that is who I am. Goodbye. Holden Worther. If, for some reason, you could change your mind and wanna be with me body and soul, meet me after work. I will be waiting for you at 5pm outside Chunky Cheese. If you are not there at five you will never see me again in your lifetime.

  • Justine: That day I read the story Holden had wrote for me. It was kinda different from the other ones but kinda the same. It was about a girl who was put upon, whose job is like a prison, and whose life has lost all meaning. Other people don't get her, especially her husband. One day she meets a boy who is also put upon and they fall in love. After spending their whole lives never getting got, with one look they get each other completely. In the end the girl and the boy run away together into the wilderness, never to be heard from again.
