After many years, finally saw the wicker park

The movie that my ex kept telling me to watch, I finally saw it after many years. I can probably imagine how moved my ex was, and finally knew that she would think of such a story when she listened to The Scientist. Of course I'm not too convinced by this story (probably a good proof that my ex and I do have different tastes in most cases). main reason:

1. There are too many coincidences, making people feel that the story is too nonsense. The male protagonist just said he wanted to live together, and the next day the female protagonist suddenly flew to Europe silently? In the past two days, you couldn't find the male lead to say goodbye? Even if you ask a friend to help deliver the letter, what is the brain hole of giving the key to your boyfriend's house to your friend? Two years later, the male protagonist already has a mobile phone, and it is so coincidental that every time the female protagonist looks for him, the mobile phone can't get through?

2. So the male protagonist finds a fake Lisa, and he obviously doesn't like her, but she is seduced by her and goes to bed at night? It's not that he can't have sex with others, but it can be regarded as a person who is affectionate and unswerving for the heroine? Moreover, even if there is no female lead, did you forget that you had a fiancee at the time? Speaking of which, I think the second girl who lied to the hostess and said that you were promiscuous may have been wrong. Give four stars, mainly because the heroine's face is really good; the male lead is not ugly, but she looks bitter and hated all day long, who owes you in the end. . .

Finally, the winter in Chicago looks really cold.

Wicker Park quotes

  • [Matthew calls Luke on the phone while Alex is in bed with Luke]

    Luke: [the phone rings] Do me a favor. Grab that, would you?

    Alex: Hello?

    Luke: [Matthew on the phone] Hello?

    Alex: Who's this?

    Luke: Who's this?

    Luke: This is Matthew. Who is this?

    [Alex sits up in shock and immediately hands the phone over to Luke]

    Luke: Hello?

    Luke: Hey, what's up, kid? I thought you left.

    Matthew: No, uhh...

    Luke: What are you still doing here?

    Matthew: I'm over at the girl's apartment.

    [Alex listens from the next room over]

    Luke: You went back to the crazy girl's apartment? What the hell are you doing there? I'm starting to worry about you, man.

    Luke: I'm starting to worry myself. It's not just that. I couldn't even get on the airplane.

    [Alex leaves Luke's apartment]

    Matthew: The thing is... There's something about this apartment. It's like Lisa's been here. I know this sounds insane, but I think this is her place, man.

    [Alex tries to call Matthew and gets a busy signal, and Lisa tries to call Luke and gets a busy signal]

    Luke: Well, maybe you're just hot for this crazy girl. First thing you gotta do is get out of her apartment and get over here. I'll tell you about some stuff, too. I've had the most amazing night of my entire life last night.

    Matthew: Okay, I'll be over. Just give me a couple of minutes, okay?

    Luke: All right. I'll wait. Later.

  • [Lisa calls Luke's phone number that Matthew left with the bartender for her]

    Luke: Hello?

    Lisa: Hi, ummm... may I speak to Matthew, please?

    Luke: Who is this?

    Lisa: Um, this is Lisa? I'm a friend of his. I'm calling about my compact. I think he might have found it.

    Luke: Uh, which Lisa is this?

    Lisa: Pardon me?

    Luke: [Luke grabs his head at how dumb of a question that sounded] Uh, I'll tell you what. He's actually supposed to be here in a couple of minutes.

    Matthew: [At the same time, the camera goes to Alex calling Matthew so that he doesn't leave to go to Luke's home] Hello?

    Alex: Hello!

    Matthew: Hi.

    Alex: Hi. I'm sorry I didn't come back. My, um... Double shift turned into a triple, and I just couldn't get away.

    Matthew: It's okay. Don't worry about it.

    Alex: Are you mad?

    Matthew: No. Not at all. I had a great time. Where are you?

    Alex: Well, I'm still at work but, um, I'm just leaving now, so why don't you wait?

    Matthew: Yeah, I'll wait.

    Alex: Okay, great. I'll see you soon.

    [Matthew hangs up knowing something is strangely wrong]

    Luke: [the camera goes back to Luke and Lisa on the phone] Let me, uh... Let me grab your phone number, and I will have him call you when he gets in.

    Lisa: Um, you know, actually, could you just tell him to meet me at 3:00? He'd know where. Um, I'll be waiting for him.

    Luke: 3:00. Okay.

    [someone knocks at Luke's front door]

    Luke: You know what, it can't be him already, but I'm expecting him. And someone's at my front door, so maybe it is him. So hold on one second.

    [Lisa has a flashback of the last time she saw Matthew and when he asked her to move in with him]

    Luke: Yeah, I'm sorry. It wasn't him, it was someone else. But I promise I will give him your message. Okay?

    Lisa: Oh. Okay. Thank you.

    [Lisa hangs up praying with tears in her eyes that she hasn't lost Matthew entirely]
