• 来自网友【鸟鸟】的评论(Found on my Wordpress, written in September 2013... Just saw the news of JGL getting married, and this is my favourite film of his) I don’t know why I watched this movie quite a bit late, but good films are never too late to watch lol. I have to admit that I cried several times watching it, or just probably like my friends say, I am too easily moved. JGL is such a great actor and his smile is the cutest. Of course I’m way not as pretty as his therapist, yet I empathise with her a lot. Sometimes it could be very difficult for me, as well, to talk to or interact with people that I care and like very much. It hurts me. “I’m sorry I didn’t come to your opening. It’s just ‘cause I hate you so much.” When Adam threw this into his girlfriend’s face, I laughed quite a bit. Yes, his girlfriend looks sexy, acts considerate, and is artistically talented just like what every girl wants to be. However, she is just not the right one for Adam. Adam used to have a seemingly stable relationship until the cancer interrupted with his life and revealed the truth about his “love”. He never truly loved his girlfriend. I don’t think he realised it when he decided not to go to her opening. He got to know it afterwards, after he found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him. He might have felt that he loved his girlfriend and it was for real. Yet his heart underneath, or his subconscious, didn’t love her. Hate might have been a strong word for it, but when he decided not to go to the opening, no matter how justifiable the excuses seemed to be, the real reasons behind it, were that he didn’t care. Adam: I wish you were my girlfriend. Katherine: Girlfriends can be nice. You just had a bad one. Adam: I bet you’d be a good one. Katherine was this unlucky therapist who, in my opinion, shouldn’t even have attempted this kind of career. I felt for her all the way through the film, the awkwardness, the inappropriate touches, the silly remarks, and the messiness of her living environment… Sometimes I am glad that I was prevented from doing what I liked to do – psychology, because I could never do it well. I want to help my friends, listen them when they are sad, have fun with them when they are happy, and be appropriate, considerate, logical, mature, rational... Yet what am I actually? I wish I could get the same ending as Katherine did but I don't think I ever can. All I can do now is to try to get rid of the incapable person I am. I guess as the older people grow, the less crazy they become. I hardly do anything reckless anymore. Yet deep down I know, I feel that I wish to be with someone who makes me not scared of showing my flaws, my ludicrousness, and my insanity. The probability of such film happening in real life is insignificant, so I guess I'd better stick with the self-improving plan. I personally would re-write the ending if that’s possible. I like the original ending, but just feel that it would be good if the story just leaves us with Adam going into the operation room, and an unknown result of him surviving or dying. Happy ending is cheering, but in reality, at least around me, there are never any. I’d rather give it some space, and some imagination.
