Give your heart a break every now and then.

On a rainy and cold Sunday, the only thing I wanted to do when I got home after a long day of wind outside was to turn on the air conditioner to warm up the house and sit in a chair to watch a relaxing and warm movie, so I found this one. (Originally just for Jude Law, hehe)

Mysterious exotic travel on a whim, friendly and approachable strangers, warm winter cottages and sunny seaside villas, everything is so beautiful that it makes people yearn and warms the whole heart . Thought it was all about romantic love, but found it was about self-confidence: a strong woman who broke up with her boyfriend and was brooding about her sexuality, a playboy who brooded about being a single father and didn't fall in love, a brooding woman Yu is an infatuated woman who falls in love with a man who doesn't love her but always doesn't let her go, a talented music scorer who always loves the wrong person with her own looks and body, a stubborn and uncaring person who can't walk on her own. The elderly living alone who can't do it, they once chose to ignore, pretend, hide, deceive, and escape... But when they meet a stranger, they encourage each other, warm each other, and start to re-acquaint themselves with each other. The important knot is not as difficult and insurmountable as I imagined.

Well, then face yourself more tolerantly, face your life, work, everything, keep moving forward, accept whatever you encounter, and enjoy every day to the fullest, as to whether there is a happy ending, who cares !

The Holiday quotes

  • Miles: [holds up a copy of "The Graduate" on DVD] Uh oh... "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio... "? I bet you didn't know, it was all written for the movie, it was a score, technically.

    Dustin Hoffman: I can't believe this... I can't go anywhere.

  • Graham: I have another scenario for you - I'm in love with you. I apologize for the blunt delivery, but as problematic as this fact may be, I'm in love... with YOU. I'm not feeling this because you're leaving, and not because it feels good to feel this way... which, by the way, it does, or did before you went off like that. I can't figure out the mathematics of this, I just know I love you. I can't believe how many times I'm saying it! And I never thought I'd feel this way again, so that's pretty phenomenal. And I realize that I come as a package deal: 3 for the price of 1. I know my package, perhaps in the light of day, isn't all that wonderful, but I finally know what I want and that, in itself, is a miracle. And what I want is YOU.
