"Notting Hill" is a romantic and unreal romance film. It is a "male version of Cinderella" story. A female celebrity falls in love with an ordinary man, the owner of a small bookstore, who is not rich He doesn't have a high social status, but he is gentleman, humorous, considerate, measured and tempered, and he pays sincerely but will not kneel and lick without a bottom line. He is neither humble nor arrogant, calm and rational, self-esteem and self-love. This is really the best in feelings. attitude.
1. Anna went to his house for the first time
When Anna came to his home for the first time, he was humorous and personable. When Anna got dressed and was leaving, he reluctantly wanted to stay with Anna for a while to see his humorous and shy "confession":
Do you want a cup of tea before you leave? -do not want. coffee? -do not want. Orange juice? -Probably not. Would you like something cold? Cola? water? And disgusting sugary drinks, pretending to contain natural fruit ingredients? -No. Would you like something to eat? Some snacks? Honey almonds? I really don’t know why, because it doesn’t taste like almonds, it’s all honey. If you want to eat honey, buy honey directly instead of almonds. That's it anyway, if you want to eat it, it's yours. -No. Do you say "no" to everything? -no. I should go now, thank you for your help. -You're welcome. Let me say... it's great, I have to take the opportunity to say it, and after you read that terrible book, you will definitely not return to the bookstore again.
This is the way he retains Anna and expresses his good feelings. Gentleman and humorous, without a bit of abruptness, with a sense of measure, he has a good grasp of the distance with others, and will not make Anna feel uncomfortable. He is just asking "You What do you want to drink, what do you want to eat", so that Anna can easily accept or refuse. At the same time, he asked many times for different drinks and foods, and implicitly expressed his affection for Anna, and he was reluctant to let Anna leave. After Anna refused, although he was a bit disappointed, he was still very gentleman and sincerely praised Anna as "awesome", and then he said a humorous remark to avoid embarrassing Anna.
This is really a perfect "confession". In just a few words, his gentlemanly demeanor is vividly expressed. In front of a big star, he can be neither humble nor humble; in front of a girl who has a good opinion of him, he can hold his feet; when he is rejected, he can maintain decency and demeanor. Although he is just a small bookstore owner, but which girl can resist such a personality charm?
Then came a romantic scene. After he sent Anna out of the house, Anna rang the doorbell again, took what she had forgotten to take, and kissed him at the same time.
2. Work hard to play the role of a reporter
Anna called and asked him to meet him at the Ritz Hotel. When he arrived, he found that they were holding a press conference. He had to pretend that he was a reporter who came to cover the interview, and he would bite the bullet as long as there was a third person. Instead of saying, "Sorry, I'm not a reporter, I'm here to find Anna" as a reporter, he didn't let others see that he and Anna knew each other, and he protected Anna's privacy very well.
In the short few minutes of the conversation between him and Anna, he was repeatedly interrupted by a staff member who came in. He had to continue to play the role of the reporter of "The Horse and the Hound", biting his head and asking a series of embarrassing questions. Although it is not a pleasant thing to be interrupted, Anna sees his performance in his eyes. He considerately protects Anna’s privacy and prevents anyone from seeing his relationship with Anna. At the same time, he is very smart. The reaction was quick, her movie had nothing to do with Ma, but he still tried his best to continue the topic:
"Have you ever thought of using more horses in the film?" "Well, we would love to do this, but it is obviously difficult because the background of the film is in outer space." "Space, yes, that's obviously difficult." "That's it. Will there be horses in the film? Or hunting dogs? Our readers are interested in both animals." "The story scene is a submarine." "Well, it's a pity. But if there is a horse in the movie, you will ride it yourself. , Or will you find a stand-in for riding?"
After the meeting with Anna in just a few minutes, he was also taken to interview other actors, but he did not leave, but patiently finished interviews one by one, and played the role of the reporter to the end, without revealing any flaws. . This is his silent and considerate contribution to Anna.
Maybe Anna was moved by his behavior. After he finally interviewed other actors, he called him and told him that she had changed her mind. She was free tonight and offered to accompany him to his sister's birthday. Will be his female companion.
3. Warm and fun family
Anna had a nice night that day. The atmosphere of the birthday party was relaxed and happy. William had an imperfect but warm and interesting family. His family was not humble or humble in the face of Anna (although Bernie was embarrassed), neither made Anna feel uncomfortable with the cautiousness and excessive attention to the big stars, but also gave Anna enough attention and praise. It was only after Anna had left that she burst out screams of joy, instead of showing excitement in front of Anna, she was a very gentleman's family.
4. Bravely stand up and defend Anna
While having dinner with Anna, he heard the disrespectful remarks from the table next door to Anna. He bravely stood up to defend Anna, but he didn't fight and curse with anger, but said to them gracefully:
"Sorry to disturb you. I really hope I didn't hear your conversation, but I just heard it. I just think that the object of your discussion is also a flesh and blood person. I think she deserves more respect instead of letting you bastards be here. There was frantic criticism there."
Who doesn't love such a man who is brave and responsible, not reckless and impulsive, and has a brain?
5. Learn that Anna has a boyfriend
When Anna invited him to go up, he was supposed to spend a wonderful night, but she was suddenly told that her American boyfriend had come to her, and at this time, William hadn’t been relieved from shock, but he didn’t show A slight gloom, there was no excitement to ask, but when Anna's boyfriend asked him who he was, he replied with room service and tried his best to protect Anna from letting her boyfriend see the flaws.
Anna's boyfriend: "One more thing, if you don't mind, can you clean up those dirty dishes and take the trash out by the way?" William: "Okay."
He didn't ask anything, just said: "I should leave", and then silently picked up the dirty dishes and trash can.
"It's hard to face this strange reality." "I'm sorry, I don't know what to say." "I think the traditional way of saying is'goodbye'."
He understood, there was no anger, no questioning, no revenge, no entanglement, no explanation, but tried to protect Anna's face, then said goodbye, swallowed his grievances and tears, and left silently to perfect her. He not only paid a lot for Anna, but also maintained his dignity.
Don't forget about good luck, and calm down when you encounter setbacks. After waking up from the dream, he can face reality rationally, accept that it is impossible for him and Anna to be together, and try to start a new life.
6. Anna encountered difficulties and took refuge at his house
When he was just beginning to accept a new life, Anna suddenly came back and told him that her indecent photos had been exposed and she had nowhere to go. He didn't ask anything, just said: "Just stay here." He is kind to Anna. This kind of kindness is not the kind of superficial flattery that means being in love, running errands and giving gifts, but silently paying, defending her in front of others, and continuing to tolerate and accept her after she cheated and hurt him. she. As a big star, I must have been accustomed to all kinds of unscrupulous flattery, but William's sincere dedication and real good for her are very precious.
After Anna spent the night in his house, a large group of reporters boarded the door the next day. Anna left angrily. He explained and kept him, but Anna still insisted on leaving. He did not force her, but respected Anna's decision. :
"I always feel happy, you come to stay, but maybe you are right, you better leave."
Every sentence reveals his demeanor and gentleman. When facing the person who loves to leave, there are a few people who can restrain their emotions from entanglement, but respect each other's decision, endure the pain, and send blessings with dignity. Woolen cloth.
Every time Anna chooses to leave, he accepts it frankly, does not entangle her endlessly to inquire, causing trouble to Anna, and does not abandon herself or cherish herself. He is a man who knows how to respect others as well as himself, and he never gets angry.
7. Do not disturb is my last tenderness
One day after Anna left, William's sister happily ran into his bookstore and told him that she had received a call from Anna's agent and he could contact Anna. He pretended to be very happy to say "Yes, great, thank you" to his sister, but silently threw the phone number out of the trash can after her sister left. He was as considerate as a gentleman in front of his sister, unable to bear his sister's kindness, pretending to be happy and surprised. But he threw the phone number in the trash can. On the one hand, he didn't want to bother Anna presumptuously. On the other hand, he was also a rational self-respecting and self-loving man. Knowing that there was no possibility for him and Anna, he immediately stopped the loss.
Bernie told him that Anna had returned to London and was shooting a movie in Hampstead, but he couldn't help but ran to see her again. Anna saw him coming and asked him to wait for her.
When William was waiting for her, he heard the dialogue between Anna and the actor in the headphones:
"Who is that shy man? I saw you talking to him behind" "No one, just someone I knew before, the situation is really a bit embarrassing, I don't know what he is here for"
This conversation made him think that Anna didn’t care and didn’t want to see himself. He left silently. He didn’t want to cause trouble and trouble to Anna. This was also a way to treat her well, consider her considerately, and not want to disturb her. He respected himself. Self-love and silently giving.
From beginning to end, he gave Anna without asking for anything in return, and at the same time rationally restrained. He respected her well and respected himself with a bottom line.
8. Don't ask for rewards when you give, you have a bottom line when you get hurt
Anna came to the bookstore to find him again and brought him a gift
"I have to leave today, but I'm thinking, if I don't leave, would you like to let me see you occasionally or often?"
"I'm a very ordinary person, I'm not used to the feelings of separation and combination, but... can I refuse your kindness? The problem is that being with you is too dangerous, everything seems perfect, and then you go crazy, obviously I don’t have much experience with this. If I were abandoned by you again, I’m afraid I won’t be able to recover in my life, but that will happen sooner or later. There will be your photos and movies everywhere. When you leave, basically I can Eat the bitter fruit."
William's self-love is manifested in that although Anna was a dimensionality reduction blow to him, he did not have a bottom line to please Anna. If he didn't hesitate to agree to Anna at this moment, maybe he would be abandoned by Anna again, but he didn't. He loves Anna, and he also loves himself. He let Anna know that he is not a licking dog, he also has a bottom line, he also has needs, he does not want to be abandoned, and he does not want to be injured. So even if he regretted keeping Anna at the press conference, Anna also understood that if he abandons him again and hurt him, he will lose him forever. Anna has fear, so she will take this feeling seriously and have In the end they had a happy ending on the bench. Love yourself first to win the love of others.
9. End
In this romance film, all the details of William touched me. It is not difficult to understand why Anna fell in love with him. The core of pursuing a girl is not to please kneel, lick and entangle, but to learn to respect others and learn to respect oneself.
The charm of men is not only the external things such as money, fame and social status, but also the personality charms of kind and considerate gentlemen. "Notting Hill" is not just a "male version of Cinderella" fairy tale. In all the subtle details, William showed his full gentlemanship and personality charm. Anna, a big star, will fall in love with him. Just luck. How can there be any pie in the sky, the goodwill is won bit by bit like this.
