light and sweet

There is tenderness and warmth everywhere in the movie, Bleisha's kindness, restraint and sensitivity; Leah's cheerfulness and willfulness. In fact, when a person becomes an adult, the circle is really small. If you find that the people around you are not what you want, you can look at it rationally and objectively, say goodbye seriously when it’s time to let go, and start over. The reason why the love triangle looks beautiful in this film is that all the protagonists have perfect personalities and love the breath of life. Chinese film love triangles basically have their own protagonists with flawed personalities, so the stories are usually not very good, and the feelings will become trivial.

Boyfriends and Girlfriends quotes

  • Alexandre: If you must know, I like slender, rather tall girls.

    Lea: Blondes or brunettes?

    Alexandre: Brunettes. With smooth, light, slightly tanned skin. They really attract me. Especially when they have big eyes and silky lashes.

    Lea: Cut it out. You promised not to lay it on!

    Alexandre: I'm not laying it on! You asked what my type was! You're much closer than Adrienne to my ideal. You've always attracted me. But fate was against it.

    Lea: Fate! You control yours, don't be modest!

    Alexandre: You're wrong! I don't like to push. I'm no Romeo. The fact is, girls like me! It's given me bad habits. It can be a disadvantage. They seek me out, so I just relax. Means I don't always wind up with the best. If I like a girl, I'll meet her sooner or later... Better later then too soon. Take us... I'm glad I met you now, not 6 months ago. We're both available...

    Lea: Stop it! What's available mean? And I don't like your kind of guy. I like to be wooed!

    Alexandre: You were with Fabien!

    Lea: You should have been insanely jealous.

    Alexandre: Who says I wasn't?

    Lea: Actions talk! You should've done something wild!

    Alexandre: Let's run away. I'll kidnap you!

    Lea: That's not so wild. And I said no!

    Alexandre: I heard yes.

    Lea: It meant no.

    Alexandre: I'll think of something wilder... Come live with me! You've even got your bags! My place's too big for me alone.

    Lea: When you're alone!

    Alexandre: I'm alone now.

    Lea: I'm going to my folks'. They're expecting me.

    Alexandre: Call them back!

    Lea: They're asleep.

    Alexandre: So they're not waiting up!

    Lea: I might move in with you, but not now. We've known each other 6 months, so wait 6 more months. During that period, you mustn't date anyone else. Then maybe I'll let myself be wooed!

    Alexandre: I accept. But you mustn't date anyone, either.

    Lea: That suits me fine!

    Alexandre: 6 months is a bit long. How about 6 days?

  • Adrienne: It's funny, I can't see you a bureaucrat. That's what you are though. You should be in the arts. You never wanted to paint, or write?

    Blanche: I've no talent. Even if I did... I'm not sure I'd want to do it for a living. Art for me is pure pleasure. Contemplating... it is enough.

    Adrienne: I can understand that. It's just that... In your office, they're all bureaucrats, Real ones! It's a bad environment. All they think about is rank... climbing the ladder... spending their lives... stepping over people. They don't even think about work... much less love! I know what I'm talking about!
