There's always something good about the holidays

I watched this film because I was very happy when the girl on the other side watched it and laughed from time to time. I didn't know her at the time, and I didn't want to disturb her to watch the movie, but I was infinitely curious. Later learned that this film features Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz, the handsome guys I love. The good feeling intensified, and he went down immediately.

The film is a warm sketch, this is the conclusion drawn by a friend, which is appropriate. But very British, very Notting Hill love, albeit without the blue-eyed Hugh Grant. As soon as I started watching the movie, I fell in love with it. A very good movie.

In order to escape from the current life, choose to take a vacation, there may be unexpected gains. This film is about two women in different predicaments, meeting new people in a new environment. In the process of communicating with each other, the self-transformation has also been completed.

It should be said that this result is the most ideal harvest for a holiday.

Love the first look of handsome Jude Law and Cameron Diaz. There is a lot of air between the two, and I think this is the so-called love at first sight. Suddenly I thought of the metaphor about pigs looking for truffles in "Women Are Not Bad", which is similar to the smell in "If You Are the One". A friend asked what if only one of them fell in love at first sight, and the other did not feel it at all? Personally, I think this is the state of Kate inside. If it is confirmed that there is no result after confession, of course, long pain is worse than short pain. The secret love that I thought was beautiful before now feels out of place.

Of course, in the face of the new people encountered after fleeing and the normal life that is bound to return. Comparing the contradictions between the two and considering the possible consequences of letting them develop, would you choose as Cameron did in the show? It's a movie after all, we're living.

However, sometimes, people also need to be less rational, right? Hehe, I just suddenly thought about the possibility of giving up trying for those possible consequences. But when Cameron ran back like that and saw the handsome guy wipe away her tears, I think she should be the happiest.

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]
