The male protagonist suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and has a eccentric temperament. People around him find him difficult to get along with. But in fact, he is kind-hearted, but he is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and his words are easy to offend people.
Although he has written many love novels, it is not easy to listen to his love words. When the heroine insisted that he praise her sincerely, he thought and thought-
"My doctor, a shrink that I used to go to all the time, he says that in fifty or sixty percent of the cases, a pill really helps. I *hate* pills, very dangerous thing, pills. Hate. I'm using the word "hate" here, about pills. Hate. My compliment is, that night when you came over and told me that you would never... all right, well, you were there, you know what you said. Well, my compliment to you is, the next morning, I started taking the pills.”
I didn't understand at first, neither did the heroine.
until he said-
“You make me want to be a better man.”
Are there any ladies who are not impressed by this sentence? When you praise me for being beautiful, kind and considerate, you are just saying that I am good, but nothing compares to the influence I have on you. I make you want to be a better man.
At the end of the film he also confessed again-
“I think most people miss that about you, and I watch them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food, and clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive. And the fact that I get it makes me feel good, about me.”
The last sentence made me shout that the male protagonist is a player at all! But it is precisely because he is not a person full of love words, his words sound so sincere and moving.
I never thought that I would like to watch the love story of a weird old man and a single mother who is 20 years younger than him, probably because girls like to be praised or even worshipped by themselves!
