一切得由"陌生人"開始說.... HELLO, STRANGER....

Alice(娜塔莉波曼)跟Dan(JUDE LAW)見面第一句對白"Hello, Stranger"開始了兩人的情緣.

Dan為Alice寫的書即將出版,替Dan拍照的Anna(JULIA ROBERTS)成為Dan花心追求目標. 而拍照地成為兩位女主角在劇中第一次見面的地點..


本片最有趣的片段是Dan跟Larry(克里夫歐文)兩個男生的網路性愛對談(DIRTY TALK),也間接促成Larry認識Anna,Dan扮演了Cupid.讓原本3個人的故事變成四個人的互相交錯的複雜關係.




Dan的內心是舉棋不定的,充滿嫉妒跟不安.嫉妒Anna選擇Larry.對於Larry跟Alice關係充滿不安.

Anna容易受引誘的,搖擺在Dan跟Larry之間.既然嫁給Larry卻和Dan發生外遇.要與Larry離婚了,也答應邀請發生關係.


Larry是很直接,坦白,帶點狂野性喜歡就說愛,打破砂鍋問到底的個性,誠實到嚇壞人


Alice選擇用假名隱藏自己,但是她的感情是真實的.Dan在片尾才知道這各答案REFER TO FINAL SCENE

Alice: No one will ever love you as much as I do. Why isn't love enough?


我認為本片拍的很好,對白要很專心看.相信會有不少心有戚戚焉之感

Dan: I fell in love with her, Alice. 

Alice: Oh, as if you had no choice? There's a moment, there's always a moment, "I can do this, I can give into this, or I can resist it", and I don't know when your moment was, but I bet you there was one.


Dan: You love her like a dog loves its owner. 

Larry: And the owner loves the dog for so doing. 

Dan: You'll hurt her. You'll never forgive her. 

Larry: Of course I'll forgive her. I *have* forgiven her. Without forgiveness we're savages. You're drowning.




CLOSER - FINAL SCENE


Dan: I want Anna back. 

Larry: She's made her choice. 

Dan: I owe you an apology. I fell in love with her. My intention was not to make you suffer. 

Larry: So where's the apology? Ya cunt. 

Dan: I apologize. If you love her you'll let her go so she can be happy. 

Larry: She doesn't want to be happy.
 
Dan: Everybody wants to be happy. 

Larry: Depressives don't. They want to be unhappy to confirm they're depressed. If they were happy they couldn't be depressed anymore. They'd have to go out into the world and live. Which can be depressing.


Dan: When I get back, please tell me the truth. 

Alice: Why? 

Dan: Because I'm addicted to it. Because without it, we're animals. Trust me



Larry: There's a girl out there who calls herself Venus, what's her real name? 

Alice: Pluto.



Closer~I LEARNED FROM THE BEST BY WHITNEY HUSTON
 
Did you really think that
I would really take you back
Let you back in my heart one more time?
Oh no, no

Did you think I'd still care
That there'd be more feeling there?
Did you think you could walk back in my life?

So you found you miss the love you threw away
Baby but you found it out too late, too late

And so you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two
And baby I learnt the way to break a heart
I learnt from the best
I learnt from you
Oh baby now
I learnt from you

I remember cold nights
Tears I thought would never dry
How you shattered my world, with your goodbye
Your goodbye baby

Would've sold my soul then
Just to have you back again
Now you are the last thing on my mind

Now you say you're sorry and you've changed your ways
Sorry but you changed your ways too late

And so you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two
And baby I learnt the way to break a heart
I learnt from the best
I learnt from you
Oh baby, oh baby now
I learnt from you

So when all you've got are sleepless nights
When those tears are clouding up your eyes
Just remember it was you
Who said goodbye...
Who said goodbye...

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

Who said goodbye...
Who said goodbye...
Who said goodbye...

And so you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two
And baby I learnt the way to break a heart
I learnt from the best
I learnt from you

And baby I learnt the way to break a heart
I learnt from the best
I learnt from you

I learnt from the best
I learnt from you



Alice: Is it because she's successful? 

Dan: No. It's because... she doesn't need me.

Dan: I'll always love you. I hate hurting you. 

Alice: Then why are you?

Alice: Can I still see you? 

[Dan stands silent] 

Alice: Dan can I still see you? Answer me. 

Dan: I can't see you. If I see you I'll never leave you. 

Alice: What will you do if I find someone else? 

Dan: Be jealous.

And so it is 嗯...就是這樣了吧
Just like you said it would be就如你所說的會那麼發生...
Life goes easy on me 人生對我來說就是這樣簡單了
Most of the time 在很多時候

And so it is 就是這樣了吧
The shorter story 在這小小的故事中
No love, no glory 沒有愛 也沒有榮耀
No hero in her sky 也不會有英雄在她的天空

I can't take my eyes off of you我無法讓目光不注意著妳
I can't take my eyes off you我無法將視線離開妳
I can't take my eyes off of you我無法讓目光不注意著妳
I can't take my eyes off you我無法將視線離開妳
I can't take my eyes off you我無法將視線離開妳
I can't take my eyes... 我無法讓目光…

And so it is 而就是這樣了
Just like you said it should be就像你說的只應該這樣
We'll both forget the breeze我倆會忘記微風般的過去
Most of the time 在很多的時刻

And so it is 而所以就這樣
The colder water這冷了些的水
The blower's daughter 這習於吹噓的女孩
The pupil in denial那否認的瞳孔

I can't take my eyes off of you我無法讓目光不注意著妳
I can't take my eyes off you我無法將視線離開妳
I can't take my eyes off of you我無法讓目光不注意著妳
I can't take my eyes off you我無法將視線離開妳
I can't take my eyes off you我無法將視線離開妳
I can't take my eyes... 我不法讓目光……

Did I say that I loathe you?我有說我厭惡妳嗎?
Did I say that I want to我有說我要這樣
Leave it all behind?把它通通留在過去嗎?

I can't take my mind off of you我無法讓思緒不放在妳身上
I can't take my mind off you我無法將妳抽離我心神
I can't take my mind off of you我無法讓思緒不放在妳身上
I can't take my mind off you我無法將妳抽離我心神
I can't take my mind off you我無法將妳抽離我心神
I can't take my mind... 我無法讓我的思緒….
My mind...my mind... 我的思緒…我的思緒…

'Till I find somebody new 直到我找到新的某人
