Broken Love Rankings

I randomly chose a DVD at home and watched High Fidelity in 2000.

Simple and easy themes and techniques, love commercial film, comfortable to watch. The male protagonist compares the most unforgettable experience of lovelorn with the Top 5 vinyl records, and often explains his feelings to the camera (remembering the narration called "direct cinema"). In the story, a large number of bands, records and songs are tagged. Unfortunately, I don't have much research on music, so I can't enjoy it 100%.

It's a matter of personal preference again, I really like Barry played by Jack Black! At the end, I sing Let's Get It On (original: Marvin Gaye), which is very classic.

High Fidelity quotes

  • Rob: Some people never got over Vietnam or the night their band opened for Nirvana. I guess I never got over Charlie.

  • Barry: Hey, it's half past a monkey's ass, let's go.

    Dick: Oh, I can't meet you guys at the club tonight.

    Barry: Why?

    [Dick smiles]

    Barry: Who are you going to see?

    Dick: [grins bashfully] Nobody.

    Barry: Rob! Loooky-looky! Dick, are you gettin' some?

    [Dick pauses]

    Barry: Oh-ho-ho! Un-fucking-believable! Dick's got a hot date! How did this happen, Dick? What rational explanation can there possibly be? What's her name?

    Dick: Anaugh.

    Barry: Anna? Anaconda?

    Dick: Anaugh Moss.

    Barry: [laughing] Anna M-ha-ha-oss? Is she all green and fuzzy and mossy? And you met this bruiser where exactly? The home for the mentally challenged or the blind or the bus station?

    Dick: Um, here. She asked me about the new Green Day album, and I told her...

    Barry: Oh, man, finally! *Anna!* That's great, Dick! Really! Smoke that ass!
