首先這部優秀的電影,當年居然沒有入圍最佳導演獎。 其次,我還是想完整還原10:27那一段經典的對白 男主角要對女主角說的讚美的話全文如下: I hate pills. Very dangerous thing, pills. Hate. I'm using the word "hate" here, about pills.Hate. My compliment is, that night when you came over and told me that you would never... all right, well, you were there, you know what you said. Well, 這裡很重要:『my compliment to you is, the next morning, I started taking the pills.』 女主角聽不太懂,於是說了: I don't quite get how that's a compliment for me. 男主角說了那句這部電影最最經典的對白:You make me want to be a better man. 女主角給了很美的回應:That's maybe the best compliment of my life. 如果我沒有記錯,這部電影好像是繼《沉默的羔羊》之後,再一次,同一部電影,男女主角都得獎的影片。
補充完整一點,當男主角對女主角說『我真搞不懂這餐廳,要我穿正式西裝才能進餐廳,卻允許妳只穿家居服。』 女主角轉身要走,就來到了10:27 女主角海倫杭特說:Give me a compliment, I need one. You have no idea how much you hurt my feeling. 然後就接上我之前還原的對白。 這個高智慧的愛情喜劇,除了我之前說的連最佳導演都沒有入圍,在劇本獎上也落敗(不過輸的光榮,那一年最佳劇本給了《心靈捕手》) 重新還原這一段對白,是想把小鳴的媳婦這麼好的說明,添一筆,讓大家更容易回味起來,或是更能吸引大家再去重看一次。
