Attentive screenwriter, heart-warming actor, heart-warming love movie

Recently, I especially like to watch this kind of warm love movies. Maybe because of my age, I have no interest in those good films in the traditional sense. On the contrary, re-watching this old film has gained some benefits. Treat it as a casually updated post, recording my thoughts and interesting little details from the movie.

1. Joe's screen name, NY152, is precisely his address. At the end of the film, Catherine actually guessed, "This may also be an address," but she denied it herself, "No, he wouldn't do such a boring thing." Joe's expression changed slightly.

2. Katherine half-jokingly said to Joe, "I have a grudge against people who have boats." Joe also smiled and counterattacked: "I have grudges against people who like Jonny Mitchell, she has a song... ..." In fact, Joe has been revealing his identity to her. In her letter to Joe at Christmas, Katherine just mentioned that the song she had been thinking about when decorating the Christmas tree was Jonny Mitchell's "RIVER".

3. At first, Joe revealed his identity unconsciously, but it was actually "The Godfather". He laughs and speaks in a long voice while learning from Catherine in The Godfather in real life, but then tells Catherine in the email to "go to the matress".

4. From the time Joe meets Katherine, Joe is in the dark and Katherine is in the light. Joe had told Katherine from the beginning, intentionally or unintentionally, that he was NY152. For example, in a dating accident, Joe joked to Catherine: "Pride and Prejudice, I bet you read it every day, every day." In fact, Catherine recommended this book to Joe, but Joe really didn't read it.

5. The dating accident is the first climax in the entire movie. The first time the two happy friends met, Catherine didn't give Joe a good look at the beginning, and threw Joe away. In fact, Joe still wanted to save: "Your handkerchief reminds me of you for the first time..." Catherine said, "It was the first time I lied to me".

6. After the dating accident, Joe is disheartened, but unwilling. Catherine's email came and confided her heart, but Joe seemed to be apologizing again, and he also understood more about the hurt his previous actions had caused to the other party. The passage in his reply can be called a classic in the use of language. The full text is well-written, sincere, and most importantly: no lies.

7. When he went to see Catherine who was sick, Catherine was actually emotionally tangled. On the one hand, he didn't want to see him, and on the other hand, he felt that it was impolite not to open the door. On the one hand, I hate him, and on the other hand, I feel a little guilty for him. On the one hand, she didn't forgive him for making her unemployed. On the other hand, she was so natural and comfortable when chatting, as if sending an email to NY152. When Joe covered her mouth, she actually had a hunch. However, the traditional silly white sweet is still silly for a while.

8. Joe's ex-girlfriend and Kathryn's ex-boyfriend are actually the same kind of person—extremely selfish. The screenwriter was very attentive. At the beginning of Vince's reception, the two couldn't shake hands and tug at each other, which just hinted at the nature of the two people. Patricia never cared about Joe's inner thoughts, and all her attention was on herself. The four were locked in the elevator and confided. When Joe was about to speak, he was interrupted because he couldn't find a mint; It is so. Catherine asked him to write an article. He was reluctant. He was interviewed on TV and said some inexplicable things. He still talked about Catherine's bookstore at the prompt of the host, and he didn't forget to show off to Catherine: "Look at her Winking at me, there's a lot of phone calls between us."

9. Both Katherine and Joe are set in the background: loneliness. Qiao grew up in a family with a chaotic private life. She looked decent, but lacked the love of women. Although Catherine has a happy family, her mother died young, and the small bookstore is her only concern for her mother.

    After watching Seattle and this one, I always feel that Meg Ryan's temperament and acting skills are rotten.......

    Although clichéd but very attractive, American light comedy romance film. The male and female protagonists are very beautiful now. For romance movies, this is half the success. As long as the plot is slightly online, it will basically pass. This movie is still good.

  • Kathleen Kelly: [writing to "NY152"] I've been thinking about you. Last night I went to meet you, and you weren't there. I wish I knew why. I felt so foolish. And as I waited, someone else showed up: a man who has made my professional life a misery. And an amazing thing happened. I was able, for the first time in my life to say the exact thing I wanted to say at the exact moment I wanted to say it. And, of course, afterwards, I felt terrible, just as you said I would. I was cruel, and I'm never cruel. And even though I can hardly believe what I said mattered to this man - to him, I am just a bug to be crushed - but what if it did? No matter what he's done to me, there is no excuse for my behavior. Anyway, I so wanted to talk to you. I hope you have a good reason for not being there last night. You don't seem like the kind of person that would do something like that. The odd thing about this form of communication is you're more likely to talk about nothing than something. But I just want to say that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many... somethings. So, thanks.
