If he's not calling you, he's not interested

說真的 我蠻喜歡這部電影的
不只是因為裡面的主角
(當然女主角不是一線女星,可是演得很棒)
還有裡面的故事台詞
witty and also pointed

故事主角的關係有點複雜
所以大致上可分為下列

*Gigi + Conor first date--beginning of the storyline

*Conor+ Anna dating but not in a relationship

*Anna + Ben run into the supermarket
and later start an affair

*Neil + Beth with a seven year relationship
but not married

*Ben + Janine college couple and married for
couple of years

*Alex + Gigi they met because of Conor,
and Alex in the end fell in love with Gigi

*Mary + Conor they met because of Anna, and
finally they two are supposed to be
made for each other.

Gigi, Janine and Beth are colleagues in
the same company.
Janine's husband Ben and Beth's partner Neil
are friends too.

Conor and Alex are friends, and he gets to
know Mary because of Anna

女主角Gigi 因為一次約會的關係認識了對方的朋友Alex
Alex自以為是男女關係高手而教了Gigi許多男女first date
的sign,藉由那些暗示來判斷if the guy is interested in you.

劇情的進行穿插了其他關係的故事
來探討男人和女人想法的不同

由於這是根據著名的小說改編
所以你可以從這些故事裡面找到自己的故事
是否我們曾經都像女主角這樣傻傻的等對方電話呢?
相信一定是有的
總是為對方找理由 找藉口
來掩飾自己的不安定感
其實說穿了 he's just not that into you.
Alex在裡面說了一句話 我覺得很寫實也很貼切

Alex: If a guy treats you like he doesn't give a sh*t,
it's because he doesn't give a shit.

BUT WE NEVER GET IT.

雖然如此,聰明如Alex這類的戀愛分析高手
其實也只是藉由這樣來逃避真正的男女關係
這讓我想到 這和很多男人不願意給女人commitment
是不是一樣的道理
給自己跟對方保持距離 但從不知道真的愛上了的感覺
那才應該是笨蛋吧 哈哈

所以當Gigi說出 "我也許做了很多蠢事,但我至少比你
有機會找到對的人" 這時Alex才有被雷擊到的感覺,
因為他才發現他不知不覺中喜歡上Gigi

Gigi 的預言論這次講對了 MEN NEVER FIGURED
IT OUT.

基本上這是個happy ending 誰叫他是好萊塢標準
愛情喜劇片,不過我倒覺得最後Beth and Neil
不一定要搞個結婚的橋段, 實在是有點畫蛇添足啦
兩個人在一起就很快樂啦
除了這個之外 我覺得結局的鋪排還不錯

喔我發現Drew Barrymore 是這部的執行製片ㄟ
還有個小八卦 他的前男友就是拍這部片認識的
演Alex的Justin Long 賈斯汀隆
但是後來分手了 果然是好萊塢明星定律

最後跟大家分享個Gigi最後說的話 非常棒

Gigi: Girls are taught a lot of stuff
growing up: if a boy punches you he
likes you, never try to trim your own
bangs, and someday you will meet a
wonderful guy and get your very own
happy ending. every movie we see,
every story we're told implores us to
wait for it: the third act twist, the
unexpected declaration of love, the
exception to the rule. but sometimes
we're so focused on finding our happy
ending we don't learn how to read the
signs. how to tell the ones who want us
from the ones who don't, the ones who
will stay and the ones who will leave.
and maybe a happy ending doesn't include
a guy, maybe it's you, on your own,
picking up the pieces and starting over,
freeing yourself up for something better
in the future. maybe the happy ending is
just moving on. or maybe the happy
ending is this: knowing after all the
unreturned phone calls and broken-hearts,
through the blunders and misread signals,
through all the pain and embarrassment...
you never gave up hope.

Yes, YOU "NEVER GAVE UP HOPE" that's what I still believe.
