Light-hearted and witty, although slightly idealistic, it is warm and romantic, a great choice for relaxation. There is not much to comment on the plot, because it is a bit old-fashioned, but there are still brilliant and heart-piercing bridges and details. /Gramm is so handsome, with tender eyes, slightly curly hair, and even a sad look on his face at the end. / Some unexpected settings - Graham turned out to be a single father. And the guy who kept hanging on the female supervisor's name even flew to Los Angeles. /There are many high-quality movies in the movie, which actually requires a lot of screenwriters' profound movie appreciation quality, but in fact he is talking nonsense that even a layman like me can't understand (laughs) /The heroine and the movie In the editor's chat, I am also interested and curious about chatting with older wise men. Their life experience often makes them have the ability to make sharp comments on things, and like the old man in this movie, there is a kind of compassionate tenderness. / The wise man mentioned "I found the love of my life", how happy I am to find my favorite job / I made a mistake on the phone twice, "Yes, it's me." This really made me laugh. /Gram and the two of them are dating and chatting freely. The atmosphere is very moving. / When Iris finally liberated herself, it was too burning. / The "Santa Ana Warm Air" in Los Angeles has been listed by me as a wonderful "must check in if you have a chance". The strong wind outside the window when watching a movie is really enviable. I will always love the windy weather. There are also many lines in the movie that make people feel good - / "Iris, there will be a heroine in the movie, and there will be a supporting actress, you, I can see, you are a heroine, but for various reasons, you act like Like a supporting actress." / "Since I met you, I've been on an adventure." / "I guess you're a lover."

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]
