The film opens with Louis Armstrong's Jazz "Only You". Faith asked twice when she was young that her future husband's name was Damon. About 20 years later, Faith has become an elementary school teacher, and she is still full of expectations Waiting for the appearance of the mysterious Dimon, but Dimon never appeared. She has met and is about to marry a boring man, Wayne, but just ten days before the wedding, she receives a call from her fiancé's alumni, Dimon, who says he's going to a hotel in Italy She hurriedly hung up the phone, confidently believing that this Damon was the one she was waiting for. It just so happens that her sister-in-law Kate thinks her husband is having an affair, so the two women eager to seek happiness embark on a journey to Italy together. They came to the hotel where Dimon was staying but didn't see him. By chance, Faith met Dimon, and the two fell in love at first sight, but just as they fell in love with each other, the man told her that he was not Dimon and called Peter, and he lied that he was Dimon entirely because of The love of faith. This angered Faith, and Peter was genuinely in love with Faith, and he asked Kate for help. Meanwhile, Kate also meets a romantic man in Italy. Peter said he found Dimon, and drove to a hotel with Faith, Kate and an Italian man to find Dimon, but Faith later found out that it was all a scam by Peter, and he invited his friends to pretend to be in love with Kate. Cheng Damon and hoped to leave a bad impression on Faith, Faith left him angrily. At the airport, both of them saw the real Dimon. Peter expressed the meaning of confidence to Dimon exactly, and then embarked on the journey back home. Only then did Faith discover that the person he really loved was Peter.
This is the story of a woman who believes in fate only to be convinced by true love. The skill of fate is undoubtedly what the heroine yearns for and believes in, but in the end she understands that "Damon" is just a symbol (and finally the audience also understands: this name is just a childhood playmate's confidence trick), Peter There seems to be a tacit feeling to the love of faith, and he seems to know what kind of shoes, clothes and earrings she needs. It is this tacit understanding that makes him believe that she is his soulmate. In the last five minutes of the film, Faith miraculously realizes that Peter is her true partner - when Faith faces the real Dimon, she discovers that her former The feeling was all an illusion. She said her real feeling through the mouth of Dimon (at the same time, the symbol "Damon" had been erased from the mind of confidence), it turned out that she did not love the name "Damon", It's "Peter". It was also her final concession to years of her own sensory mistakes. It seems that the encounter between Faith and Peter is also based on the fate of "Damon", but on the other hand, their fate is not destiny. Because the previous experience has completely lost her confidence in "Damon" and hidden her love for "Peter", and the true love in the back is completely her own victory over herself, and only with confidence can she find true love.
Norman Jewison is definitely an outstanding film director with a variety of film styles. The few romantic comedies that have been filmed are among the best in their genre. I like "Bubble Love" and "Don't Give Me Flowers" in the 1960s and "Moonlight" in the 1980s. "My Heart Belongs to You" filmed in the 1990s was slightly inferior, and I always felt that it still owed a little, but it was also a good romantic comedy. The most eye-catching feature of the film is several powerful actors, the Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actress and the multiple Oscar nominee Marisa Tomei once again created a confident and independent personality with simple performances. The performance of Robert Downey Jr. Complementing Cary Grant's comedic style and irresistibly romantic charm, these two actors are a wonderful combination, and of course Kate's beautiful green leaf, Bonnie Hunt.
Italy is a romantic country, which can be seen in the ending, a very sharp contrast: confidence in the United States, in order to seek love without a boarding pass, was stopped by the indifference of the airport staff; while in Italy , In the same situation, all the staff at the Italian airport are giving selfless help to this girl who is looking for love.
