Say something different from the mainstream voice

I saw a lot of people scolding the screenwriter, talking about ruining the three views. I really didn't think there was anything to destroy. Our values ​​emphasize more on the responsibilities and obligations of marriage, but never or rarely consider the happiness of two people together.

We always numb ourselves with the excuse that we will be happy sooner or later and that marriage requires a break-in, but we don't know that the hardest thing in this world is our nature. People are self-interested. You are required to give up your own nature to cater to others. I believe that few people can do it. Or, ask those who "do it", are you really happy at this moment?

While we amplify the responsibilities and obligations of marriage, have we also magnified the heavy side of marriage? If there is no love and happiness as the prerequisite, I believe that responsibility will only be a shackle.

    Good for eating potato chips. In addition, marriage really can't be messed up casually.

    With the same subject matter, the British always have a way to make a different taste from the Americans. Take this film as an example. It is also a story about the loss of passion after marriage. Americans usually create a family-friendly ending, but the British People are about to break up and reorganize, but the ending is still very happy, plus the consistent words in this British-style sketch theme, it is still very watchable~

I Give It a Year quotes

  • Nat: We have an incredible sex life, but that's not the point. I love the Michael Jackson "Off the Wall" album, but I wouldn't necessarily want to only listen to that the rest of my life.

    Naomi: Yeah, Oh honey, I been there. I mean you'll listen to it a lot in the beginning. You'll listen to it in all sorts of places. You'll listen to it in the car, in the disabled toilet cubicle in the McDonald's in Egham... in your unconscious Granny's hospital room.

    Nat: Granny Mary?

    Naomi: It's what she would have wanted... But then you know, you get to the point where you're not that bothered about listened to music at all. You just play it on birthdays or when you're very very drunk. Or, if someone shows you a Justin Bieber video when you're in the office and then you know, all you can think about is that.

    Chloe: Isn't he like 15?

    Naomi: Oh, he'd know what to do... I'd ruin Bieber!

    Nat: You Would! You would ruin him.

  • Danny: I think if I was going to have any super power it would be the ability to speak Spanish. That would be amazing wouldn't it? 'Cause you could say stuff like "Hola", "Gazpacho".

    Nat: You just said it.

    Josh: You're saying it now.

    Danny: Oh, wow.

    Hugh: Not strictly speaking a super power, though, is it really? Otherwise everyone in Brazil would be superheroes.

    Danny: [Nods]

    [mumbles]

    Danny: Mm, true.

    Naomi: They speak Portuguese in Brazil. You cock!
