伦敦——《真爱至上》 节日里的英国,节日里的伦敦,十个爱情故事诠释这座工业城市背后隐藏的柔情,亦彰显人性的复杂与微妙。在这部电影里,从英国首相、色情演员、鳏夫乃至著名作家、摇滚歌星,都不约而同地陷入情网,男欢女爱的戏码在每个角落轮番上演,最后又归于平静;唯有“真爱”焕发着永恒的光彩。 Storyline: Against the backdrop of aged has-been rock star Billy Mack's Christmas themed comeback cover of "Love Is All Around" which he knows is crap and makes no bones about it much to his manager Joe's chagrin as he promotes the record, several interrelated stories about romantic love and the obstacles to happiness through love for Londoners are presented in the five weeks preceding Christmas. Daniel's wife has just passed away, leaving him to take care of his adolescent stepson Sam by himself. Daniel is uncertain how to deal with Sam and his problems without his wife present, especially in light of a potential budding romance within their household. Juliet and Peter have just gotten married. They believe that Peter's best friend and best man Mark hates Juliet but won't say so to his or her face. Others looking at the situation from the outside believe Mark is jealous of Juliet as he is in love with Peter himself. Jamie, a writer, is taking a writing retreat by himself in rural France ... Quotes:Daniel: Option One: ask her out. Sam: Impossible. Daniel: Fair enough. Option Two: become her friend. Sam: She's the most popular girl in school and she hates boys. Daniel: Okay. Option Three: kidnap her and keep her tied up in your room until she agrees to marry you. Sam: It's a route I've considered. Daniel: And quite rightly rejected on the grounds of... Sam: Hygiene.

维也纳——《爱在黎明破晓前》 美国男孩与法国女孩在风光旖旎的维也纳炮制的“一夜情”如此刻骨铭心,他们谈谈情、散散步,带观众游遍这座闪耀艺术光芒的古老之城。普拉特的公共游乐场,夜幕下的河岸,神秘的吉卜赛女郎奉上的占卜预言,乃至明月当空时公园的亲密相拥,最后都成了电影史上的经典桥段。九年之后,这对聚散有时的恋人将再次相逢,延续维也纳“人生若只是初见”的美好。 StorylineAmerican tourist Jesse and French student Celine meet by chance on the train from Budapest to Vienna. Sensing that they are developing a connection, Jesse asks Celine to spend the day with him in Vienna, and she agrees. So they pass the time before his scheduled flight the next morning together. How do two perfect strangers connect so intimately over the course of a single day? What is that special thing that bonds two people so strongly? As their bond turns to love, what will happen to them the next morning when Jesse flies away? Quotes:Jesse: Alright, I have an admittedly insane idea, but if I don't ask you this it's just, uh, you know, it's gonna haunt me the rest of my life Celine: What? Jesse: Um... I want to keep talking to you, y'know. I have no idea what your situation is, but, uh, but I feel like we have some kind of, uh, connection. Right? Celine: Yeah, me too. Jesse: Yeah, right, well, great. So listen, so here's the deal. This is what we should do. You should get off the train with me here in Vienna, and come check out the capital. Celine: What? Jesse: Come on. It'll be fun. Come on. Celine: What would we do? Jesse: Umm, I don't know. All I know is I have to catch an Austrian Airlines flight tomorrow morning at 9:30 and I don't really have enough money for a hotel, so I was just going to walk around, and it would be a lot more fun if you came with me. And if I turn out to be some kind of psycho, you know, you just get on the next train. Jesse: Alright, alright. Think of it like this: jump ahead, ten, twenty years, okay, and you're married. Only your marriage doesn't have that same energy that it used to have, y'know. You start to blame your husband. You start to think about all those guys you've met in your life and what might have happened if you'd picked up with one of them, right? Well, I'm one of those guys. That's me y'know, so think of this as time travel, from then, to now, to find out what you're missing out on. See, what this really could be is a gigantic favor to both you and your future husband to find out that you're not missing out on anything. I'm just as big a loser as he is, totally unmotivated, totally boring, and, uh, you made the right choice, and you're really happy. Celine: Let me get my bag.

罗马——《罗马假日》 凝聚了意大利全部历史沉积的罗马城,因短发精灵奥黛丽·赫本的旋转而生机勃勃,这部被无数人铭记的经典爱情电影,通过一位公主的初恋故事在罗马洒下了爱情的光辉。格利高利·派克骑着机车带公主浏览全城的时候,观众亦跟着他们的脚步享受了罗马最明媚的春光。 StorylineJoe Bradley is a reporter for the American News Service in Rome, a job he doesn't much like as he would rather work for what he considers a real news agency back in the States. He is on the verge of getting fired when he, sleeping in and getting caught in a lie by his boss Hennessy, misses an interview with HRH Princess Ann, who is on a goodwill tour of Europe, Rome only her latest stop. However, he thinks he may have stumbled upon a huge scoop. Princess Ann has officially called off all her Rome engagements due to illness. In reality, he recognizes the photograph of her as being the young well but simply dressed drunk woman he rescued off the street last night (as he didn't want to turn her into the police for being a vagrant), and who is still in his small studio apartment sleeping off her hangover. What Joe doesn't know is that she is really sleeping off the effects of a sedative given to her by her doctor to calm her down after an anxiety attack, that anxiety because she hates her... Quotes:Reporter: And what, in the opinion of Your Highness, is the outlook for friendship among nations? Princess Ann: I have every faith in it... as I have faith in relations between people. Joe Bradley: May I say, speaking for my own... press service: we believe Your Highness's faith will not be unjustified. Princess Ann: I am so glad to hear you say it. Another reporter: Which of the cities visited did Your Highness enjoy the most? General Provno: [prompting] Each, in its own way... Princess Ann: Each, in its own way, was unforgettable. It would be difficult to - Rome! By all means, Rome. I will cherish my visit here in memory as long as I live.
