I have this planet of regret sitting on my shoulders.

Lelaina: I was wondering if I could talk to you for a minute before you go.

Troy: See, the thing is that, um...

Lelaina: Well...

Troy: my dad died.

Lelaina: Oh, god, Troy. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Troy: No. It... What happened was that, um... I kind of got this arcane glimpse at the universe. And the best thing that I can say about that is... I don't know. I have this planet of regret sitting on my shoulders. And you have no idea how much I wish that I could go back to that morning after we made love and do everything different.



















Ethan 的角色是那種很哭爸的才子，動不動就冒出像晦澀宇宙或是悔恨之星這種字眼。悔恨之星這意象很有詩意，我們常以人物命名星球，但一顆星球是以悔恨命名時，代表其悔恨已經可以聚集成星球了，而且還得背著她。我想不出更具悔恨之意的表達了。



法國版標題改為九零世代，更符合原版的副標題：A comedy about love in the '90s. 這張海報我不知道是色差還是故意，要藍不藍要綠不綠的，就像你我永遠回不去卻也忘不了的的青澀。



九零世代比較適合放在薇諾娜瑞德和 Ethan 的青春之愛，而 Reality Bites 就是屬於 Ben Stiller 的部份了。本片的導演是 Ben Stiller，或許誇張搞笑比言之有物好賺錢吧！And that's just how Reality Bites, isn't it?



附帶筆者最愛的附帶一提，繼九四年的現實咬人，九六年的 The Cable Guy，中文翻王牌特派員也是我覺得明明很好看的黑色喜劇，我覺得明明很好看被罵的電影真不少，零一年自編自導自演 Zoolander 更是高明，戲而不謔。原本想找張 Ethan 和薇諾娜瑞德的劇照，但因為 Ethan 那頭黏膩的長髮比在 Before Sunrise 還難看而作罷，不然薇諾娜瑞德很可愛的。我不懂為什麼 Zooey Deschanel 會被比為小薇諾娜瑞德，和小布的刺客電影要紅啊！
