something I want to say about the movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2009)

In this movie, complicated plot and psychological actions are more worthwhile to write about than the stars' acting or something else. Dan is a key character; almost everything is caused by him or his action, and it is his shortcomings that lead to misery. He is conservative, while he desires adventure; he wants to be loved ,but when he is loved he loses his head; women tolerate his shortcomings, fascinated by his pretty face, while he innocently thinks his lover has to be perfect. Compared with previous characters Jude Law rolled, Dan is more practical, more real. The scene Dan cries with humiliation in front of Larry, his romanticism and immaturity of love have been embodied completely.
Larry may be the most snobbish one among the four. The scene he chatters with Dan playing as Anna on line shows his indecency inside. He knows little about love except for sex and occupancy.
Alice is a little demon with an angel's face.At the beginning she says she's kind of gypsy,so no wonder in the end she walks in the crowd wildly, caring about men's erotic sights. It's hard for me to believe she truly falls in love with Dan. At last ,she lies in bed and suddenly tells Dan that she doesn't love him any more from that second.
Love is not a kind of redemption; it is simply a relationship.Both Alice and Dan are searching in the street ,waiting for the love at the first sight, and so are many people; while their results are often not good. It seems not so good to be a romanticist on love, for the romance on purpose will be disappointing.
In the end, the soft music is on again, "I can't keep my eyes off youI can't keep my mind off you"Everyone has an ideal about his or her love, but reality is reality.
