It's all about watching Matthew Rhys

Tired of watching old movies? Not La. It’s all because I’ve fallen in love with Matthew Rhys recently, and I’ve been looking for his old movies to watch. The movie was made in 2006, and the Chinese translations are “Lovesickness” and “Fate Blowing”, last year The deceased Brittany Murphy is also the protagonist of "Love and Other Disasters" (UK/France).

Director Alek Keshishian has few works. He graduated from Harvard and directed the 1991 documentary "Madonna: Truth or Dare". But this film is really suitable No boredom to watch at home. Especially unless you're a big fan of Matthew Rhys or Brittany Murphy, you don't lose if you don't watch it. No wonder Rotten Tomatoes is only 20%. After

watching this film, I finally understand why straight guy Matthew Rhys was chosen to play "Brothers" & Sisters" gay brother/lawyer Kevin Walker.

The story is simple, with some laughs and a little surprise. Brittany Murphy plays Jacks, an American who is an intern in British Vogue, and lives with his college best friend Peter (Matthew Rhys). One day Peter met in a hotel and thought he was the love of his life, that is, love at first sight. It turned out that David Williams, who always thought he was the real one, was not that person.

The main point of the story is that love is often not as simple or passive as fate or destiny. In fact, many times it is our choice.

We choose to try, to start a relationship. Although it doesn't seem like the real one at first, or some distance from the lover of our dreams, it is often these attempts that lead us to find the one We can walk the other half of life together.

Also, the truth of the truth is often deceived by ourselves, or we can't see it clearly, thinking that it is the whole truth, but it is not.

Love and Other Disasters quotes

  • Therapist: Relationships are best measured by farting.

    Peter Simon: Excuse me?

    Therapist: The stages of a relationship can be defined by farting. Stage one is the conspiracy of silence. This is a fantasy period where both parties pretend that they have no bodily waste. This illusion is very quickly shattered by that first shy, "Ooh, did you fart," followed by the sheepish admission of truth. This heralds a period of deeper intimacy. A period I like to call the "Fart Honeymoon", where both parties find each other's gas just the cutest thing in the world. But, of course, no honeymoon can last forever. And so we reach the critical fork in the fart. Either the fart loses its power to amuse and embarrass thereby signifying true love, or else it begins to annoy and disgust, thereby symbolizing all that is blocked and rancid in the formerly beloved. Do you see what I'm getting at?
