Fortunately, he met Polly

The sky turned dark suddenly, and before a rain came, I met a university classmate I hadn't seen for a long time.

Reuben was dragged by a friend to attend the reception, but because of this reception, he suddenly met Polly, his former tablemate.

The fate between people, a wonderful and subtle thread, draws your yesterday, today and tomorrow. Before meeting Polly, he was obviously frustrated, because his wife who went to the beach for a honeymoon hooked up with a diving instructor. He was unfaithful, betrayed, and collapsed in an instant. That was when he once told a good friend that he would stay together forever. Woman in a suit.

Fortunately, he met Polly, this eccentric woman with long curly blond hair, always confirming appointments and canceling them again and again, and likes to take him to spicy food.

They are so different. Ruben is a risk assessor. He knows the chance of being hit and killed by a car on the way home. He knows the chance of falling into the subway track. So when his wife Lisa returned to him with a look of repentance. , He made a risk assessment on the computer with the information of the two women, ironically wanting to use this to decide the future. Polly is the exact opposite. She lives in a different city because she hates being the same, but she knows how to live, has no plans, and doesn't have much vision for the future.

The film has a slight comedic color, changing the lives of Ruben and Polly little by little. The power of love, you have to admit, raise your hands and feet. In the best underground salsa club in New York, Polly danced happily. Reuben couldn't get used to it stiffly. Seeing Polly dancing with others, he finally said his uncomfortable. Happily, he accepted and learned this dance, and finally performed it well in front of everyone. Of course, Polly was very pleasantly surprised. The part about dancing in the film is very good, which is somewhat reminiscent of the tango in another film, Smell the Fragrance and Meet Women. When dancing, we see each other’s eyes, but ignore the presence of other people. Cooperating in the footsteps tells that I love you.

His father, a silent man, suddenly said a paragraph at the end. Although this paragraph was addressed to a good friend of Ruben, it seemed to be engraved on Ruben's heart. Life was a life. Venture capital, and how happy it is to do yourself fearlessly. A net filtered out worry, filtered out the past life, filtered and then filtered, Ruben slowly transformed into a real him, with an imperceptible firmness at the corners of his mouth, when Polly was about to leave, he ran to prove him. He is no longer the one he used to be. Polly's reckless warmth seems to dislike stability. She also understands that the man in front of her is kind and has considered marriage. She is changing from evasion to acceptance.

Yes, if we both have worries and fears for each other, then it is better not to think too much, be together, and look at it together. At the end of the movie, back to the original beach, and the diving instructor. Of course, you can't pull down the pet mink, who always follows the heroine. He is always rampant and cute.

One life experience is not so good, to fulfill another love, is it not another kind of perfection. From the next second, your life will also change, getting better and better. To quote a saying that others have said, if there is too much fear, we will not be able to pass through many things.

You have to admit.

Along Came Polly quotes

  • Irving Feffer: It's not about what happened in the past, or what you think might happen in the future. It's about the ride, for Christ's sake. There is no point in going through all this crap, if your are not going to enjoy the ride. And you know what... when you least expect something great might come along. Something better then you even planned for.

  • Polly Prince: I've been living my life, okay? I've been in good relationships and I've been in shitty ones... and I've moved alot... and I've been happy, and I've been sad... and I've been lonely... and that is what I've been doing. Which is a lot more then I can say for some freak, who thinks he's gonna get the Ebola virus from a bowl of mixed nuts.
