beautiful.

I watched "Love Holiday" again, and watched it many times before and after, and it felt really good. This movie is very warm and has a taste of love, just like the feeling of a cup of cold coke in summer and a cup of hot cocoa in winter. I also finally believed what my girlfriend said, that I am an emotional person. When we were with my girlfriend before, we talked about whether each other was rational or emotional. I think I am a rational person, because I am not very moved by movies or TV, although I am usually more impulsive and impatient. Or half-rational, half-emotional.

While watching this movie, there were several moments when I quietly had tears in my eyes. Because the plot of those moments is so beautiful, it feels good to cry for those beautiful moments, very comfortable tears. I like this feeling. The film's soundtrack, camera usage, and scenes are all superior, and they work together beautifully and harmoniously. The more I look at it, the more I love to watch it. Haha I've watched it three or four times. But I still like to watch it...


I like the houses of the protagonists in the story. It's the kind of house that makes me fall in love as soon as I see it. That is my dream. I suddenly remembered that in the happy ending, the house where all the protagonists meet is a three-storey old-fashioned English house, which is also great. That seems to be more suitable, and the owner of the house says he has a cow in the backyard. These are really what I want!

And when the monsoon was blowing in Los Angeles, when the wind blew the face of Iris, who was brokenhearted and rolled her hair, the wonderful soundtrack and together, a beautiful picture, heralding a bright future. ~~Amanda, who hasn't shed tears for more than ten years, shed tears on the taxi when she finally left Graham. This moment also brought me to tears with her. A very beautiful moment, just as the lines at that moment said, Amanda is back.



Now I find more and more wonderful things about this movie. Every time I watch it again, I will find the use of every shot, the meaning behind every line, and the rhythm and taste of every soundtrack. Very harmonious and beautiful. In fact, this principle is correct in many ways, only the more we understand, the more we like those things. The more we give something to something, the more we like it. Love must be like that. Therefore, Iris, one of the heroines in the movie, has to give up her love for three years, but it is very difficult for her boyfriend who is not sincere. And it's easier for Amanda to give up on her boyfriend because she doesn't give her sincerity, that is, she doesn't give too much.



I don't like watching tragedies, and I rarely cry about tragedies, but this is just nonsense, because I don't want to watch it, so I definitely cry less. Life is like this, why bother. I also don't like watching horror movies, why torture myself. What I see and hear has an influence on me, and I hope that what I get is a good influence. So I try to avoid the heavy, poignant, scary things... This may not make me experience the whole, but I can improve.

The Holiday quotes

  • Miles: [reaching across Iris to grab something on counter] Okay, sorry about that.

    [pregnant pause]

    Miles: Boob graze.

    [Iris briefly surprised, then burst into merry laughter, with Miles joining in with a chuckle]

    Miles: That was accidental.

    [gazing around with sheepish smile]

    Miles: Accidental boob graze. I'm sorry.

    Iris: Change of subject.

    [trying to restrain laughter]

    Miles: Okay.

  • Jasper: You know what I was thinking? When you get back to London, maybe we could sneak off somewhere together. Maybe Venice. You and me in Venice could be good.

    Iris: Do you mean that? I mean, are you free to do that?

    Jasper: Darling, I've just traveled halfway across the world to see you, haven't I?

    Iris: [Iris & Jasper almost kiss before Iris pulls away] Yeah, that doesn't exactly answer my question. So, are you not with Sarah anymore? I mean, is that what you've come here to tell me?

    Jasper: I wish you could just accept knowing how confused I am about all this.

    Iris: Okay, let me translate that. So, you are still engaged to be married?

    Jasper: Yes, but, I mean...

    Iris: Oh, my God.

    [Iris gets up from the couch]

    Iris: This was a really close call. You know, I never really though I'd say this, literally never, but I think you were absolutely right about us. Very square peg, very round hole.

    Jasper: You cannot mean that.

    Iris: The great thing is I actually do. And I'm about three years late in telling you this, but nevertheless I need to say it. Jasper. Wait, I need the lights on. Jasper, you have never treated me right. Ever.

    Jasper: Oh, babe.

    Iris: Shush. You broke my heart. And you acted like somehow it was my fault, my misunderstanding, and I was too in love with you to ever be mad at you, so I just punished myself! For years! But you waltzing in here on my lovely Christmas holiday, and telling me that you don't want to lose me whilst you're about to get MARRIED, somehow newly entitles me to say, it's over. This - This twisted, toxic THING between us, is finally finished! I'm miraculously done being in love with you! Ha! I've got a life to start living.

    [Picks up Jasper's jacket, walking to the door]

    Iris: And you're not going to be in it.

    Jasper: Darling.

    Iris: Now I've got somewhere really important to be, and you have got to get the hell out.

    [Opens the door]

    Iris: Now!

    Jasper: What exactly has got into you?

    Iris: I don't know.

    [Pushes Jasper out the door]

    Iris: But I think what I've got is something slightly resembling, gumption.

    [Slams door shut in Jasper's face. Lifts hands up and screams with joy]
