Fun movie

Sentimental and somewhat pretentious movie, but it does not hinder its beauty.

The sentiment of the 1980s is always like this for people today, not enough romance, not enough vigor, not enough depth, not enough absurdity, not enough madness, too vulgar, obviously, it's going to be a part of it. The name of literature and art still carries such a hint of preaching, which is really intolerable.

But then again, even though it's a little quarrel and the enemy doesn't fight the bridge sets that we don't know each other, we are still using it, but it doesn't have the pure taste of the original.

Probably the times are progressing, people are precocious, and they are becoming more obvious. In any case, the performers and directors carry the stigma of some times and cannot be exempted. So 80 years of movies now seem to be full of interesting anecdotes and lush and lovely; on the other hand, current movies, such as "The Hawthorn", under the banner of innocence, have been "pseudo-pure" and shameful, twenty years later. People who read "The Hawthorn" may not be so.

The Sure Thing quotes

  • Gib: [opening lines] Consider outer space. You know, from the time of the first NASA mission, it was clear that outer space has a clear effect on the human psyche. Why, during the first Gemini mission, thought was actually given to sending up a man and a woman... together.

    Julie: [interested] Really?

    Gib: A cosmic 'Adam and Eve,' if you will. Bound together by fate, situated on the most powerful rocket yet known to man. It's giant thrusters blasting them into the dark void, as they hurtle towards their final destination: the gushing wellspring of life itself.

    [she is entranced]

    Gib: How would you like to have a sexual encounter so intense it could conceivably change your political views?

  • Gib: What the hell's wrong with being stupid once in awhile? Does everything you do always have to be sensible? Haven't you ever thrown waterballoons off a roof? When you were a little kid didn't you ever sprinkle Ivory flakes on the living room floor 'cause you wanted to make it snow in July? Didn't you ever get really shitfaced and maybe make a complete fool of yourself and still have an excellent time?
