美国电影《他没那么喜欢你》(He’s Just Not That lnto You)讲述几对友人看似错综复杂其实很普通的爱情故事,故事摒弃了以往美剧排列组合的方式,而是分成不同角度,去看每一段独立的爱情,最终让人去回望自己身边或者亲身经历的感情。

Ben:Hello?
Anna:Hey, Ben. This is Anna Marks.
Ben:Hey, Anna. What's up?
Anna:Nothing, I was just……I was just taking you up on your offer. I know you said you had a couple of contacts you thought could help me.And I thought maybe talk about it over coffee or something like that.
Ben:Look, I just……I can't, Anna. You seemed great.I just……I don't know.I should probably go.Take care, though.Bye.
安娜:那个男人让你不得不喜欢,知道吗?他在便利店和我很暧昧地打情骂俏,那个,一切都自然而然,真的很神奇。然后他告诉我他有老婆了,我肯定是要发火的,对不对?但我就是忘不了他。
玛丽:但他结婚了。
安娜:我知道,我意识到了,我不知道我哪根筋搭错了,我哪根筋搭错了?
玛丽:好吧,我认识一个男人,他是我爸爸复印店里的员工,他跟一个好女人结婚15年了。某晚他在教堂的活动上遇到了一个女人,他告诉我爸爸说他从没有过这样的感觉,他觉得自己终于找到了灵魂伴侣。于是他和妻子离婚,之后他和这个女人一起过了22年,非常幸福。我是说,如果你遇到了生命中的最爱,但那个时候你已经嫁给了别人怎么办?你就该无动于衷吗?
安娜:你说得好。好,我给他打电话。
玛丽:对。
本:喂?
安娜:嘿,本,我是安娜·马科斯。
本:嘿,安娜,怎么了?
安娜:没什么,我只是想起来你说过能帮我,说你有些关系可能会对我有帮助。我觉得我们可以边喝咖啡边聊聊。
本:嗯,我……不行,安娜,你很优秀,只是……怎么说呢?我得挂了,不过,多保重,再见。
