Santa Ana the wind blows, anything can happen

After watching this movie for a long time, I probably have a strong desire for emotional output today, so I still want to spread the romantic feelings the movie brings to me.

Surrey, a small town in England, has a fairytale-like cabin in which lives an infatuated woman named Iris. She loves the male colleague who abandoned her deeply, and struggles for many years in dire straits, and finally learns the news of his engagement at the Christmas party.

LA, luxury mansion. Amanda, who has never shed tears since her parents divorced at the age of 15, runs a film advertising company independently, but she couldn't shed a single tear in the face of her boyfriend's affair.

So the two girls decided to exchange houses and give their mood a holiday this Christmas.

It seems that Taiwan's translation of the film - love has no vacation,
Iris met Miles, and Amanda met Graham.

Miles, composer. You can play with your fingertips and you can deduce a person's character
"Iris if you were a melody I use only the good notes."

Graham, gentle lover, loving father. The drunk man in a suit,
the family man in a light blue knitted sweater, the gentle man in pajamas and black-rimmed glasses, the innocent man with tears streaming down his face. Jude Law did it just right, as if he was revealing his true colors, as if he could smell the body fragrance on his sweater.
So I once again sank in his British temperament.
Jude Law, in my eyes has always been the most handsome man in the world. He is as handsome as an ancient Greek sculpture, and only real beauties are qualified to play with him. For example, Nicole in "Cold Moutain", such as Rachel Weisz in "Enemy At The Gate", Cameron is also an absolutely perfect lady. It is really very eye-catching to be able to appreciate this pair of people.
It is said that the two of them are really doing a fake show, and now they have become a pair of exotic mandarin ducks.

I don't want to comment on the movie in detail, I always like to jot down something while watching it. It's a little bit of my mood at the time, and it's a bit of it that touches me. And once you bring rational thinking or insist on speaking professional and objective words, you will lose the pure happiness at the beginning.

A story that is not new,
but a happy ending of an old fashion can deeply move me on a person's Saturday.

Who hasn't been emotionally distressed, when Santa Ana blows --
all the unpleasantness of the warm California winter wind will disappear, Anything can happen, that's where it touches me.

The Holiday quotes

  • Miles: [reaching across Iris to grab something on counter] Okay, sorry about that.

    [pregnant pause]

    Miles: Boob graze.

    [Iris briefly surprised, then burst into merry laughter, with Miles joining in with a chuckle]

    Miles: That was accidental.

    [gazing around with sheepish smile]

    Miles: Accidental boob graze. I'm sorry.

    Iris: Change of subject.

    [trying to restrain laughter]

    Miles: Okay.

  • Jasper: You know what I was thinking? When you get back to London, maybe we could sneak off somewhere together. Maybe Venice. You and me in Venice could be good.

    Iris: Do you mean that? I mean, are you free to do that?

    Jasper: Darling, I've just traveled halfway across the world to see you, haven't I?

    Iris: [Iris & Jasper almost kiss before Iris pulls away] Yeah, that doesn't exactly answer my question. So, are you not with Sarah anymore? I mean, is that what you've come here to tell me?

    Jasper: I wish you could just accept knowing how confused I am about all this.

    Iris: Okay, let me translate that. So, you are still engaged to be married?

    Jasper: Yes, but, I mean...

    Iris: Oh, my God.

    [Iris gets up from the couch]

    Iris: This was a really close call. You know, I never really though I'd say this, literally never, but I think you were absolutely right about us. Very square peg, very round hole.

    Jasper: You cannot mean that.

    Iris: The great thing is I actually do. And I'm about three years late in telling you this, but nevertheless I need to say it. Jasper. Wait, I need the lights on. Jasper, you have never treated me right. Ever.

    Jasper: Oh, babe.

    Iris: Shush. You broke my heart. And you acted like somehow it was my fault, my misunderstanding, and I was too in love with you to ever be mad at you, so I just punished myself! For years! But you waltzing in here on my lovely Christmas holiday, and telling me that you don't want to lose me whilst you're about to get MARRIED, somehow newly entitles me to say, it's over. This - This twisted, toxic THING between us, is finally finished! I'm miraculously done being in love with you! Ha! I've got a life to start living.

    [Picks up Jasper's jacket, walking to the door]

    Iris: And you're not going to be in it.

    Jasper: Darling.

    Iris: Now I've got somewhere really important to be, and you have got to get the hell out.

    [Opens the door]

    Iris: Now!

    Jasper: What exactly has got into you?

    Iris: I don't know.

    [Pushes Jasper out the door]

    Iris: But I think what I've got is something slightly resembling, gumption.

    [Slams door shut in Jasper's face. Lifts hands up and screams with joy]
