My one and only

My favorite part of this movie is the music, Jazz's slightly erratic swings, which both match the old-fashioned atmosphere of the 1950s, and set off the unsettledness of the apparently determined heroine.

The real story seems a bit bizarre. In addition to the experience of Surprising George, Ann's bravery as a woman and perseverance as a mother are more touching.

The main line of the story is very clear. It tells that George's mother leaves her husband and takes her two children to find a new life.

The theme is not obvious, or it is very subtle. It combines the pursuit and thinking of family love in a few words, and you need to chew it yourself.

This is a movie that is still worth watching after watching it, and of course a large part of it is due to Renee Zellweger's brilliant performance.

My One and Only quotes

  • Bill Massey: As a man, there's only one thing you need to know about a woman.

    George Devereaux: What's that?

    Bill Massey: They're never the right temperature.

    George Devereaux: No?

    Bill Massey: Something to do with their plumbing. Reproduction. Whatever reason, most of the time... they're either too hot or too cold. Mostly too cold. So what you have to do... is carry a sweater or a jacket or something with you at all times. Something you can keep in the trunk of your car... or in your closet at work... for when their thermostat gets messed up.

    George Devereaux: What else?

    Bill Massey: That's it. Once you've got that covered... there's nothing else you need to know about a woman.

  • Paula: Have you ever seen breasts?

    George Devereaux: Sure... one.

    Paula: You saw one breast?

    George Devereaux: No, I meant once. I saw some once.

    Paula: Some?

    George Devereaux: Two. I saw two, once...

    Paula: You wanna see mine?

    George Devereaux: Who? Me? Now?

    Paula: Ready?

    George Devereaux: Okay. Sure, yeah.

    Paula: How do they look?

    George Devereaux: Alright! Good, fine. Of course I don't have much to compare them to...
