最佳男配角|最佳女配角提名
《愛是您・愛是我》在2017年為公益活動紅鼻子日(Red Nose Day)拍了特別篇《Red Nose Day Actually》,多組原班人馬回歸,舉牌男娶到凱特摩絲,休葛蘭還重現了他最痛恨的熱舞。紅鼻子日從1988年由喜劇救濟基金會(Comic Relief)在英國首次創辦,本片導演李察·寇蒂斯為創始者之一。
飾演出軌丈夫的Alan Rickman在2016年過世,劇中飾演妻子的Emma Thompson也因此婉拒特別篇的演出。Emma和Alan合作數次,戲外也是多年好友。在我的同齡人中,最有名的組合大概是哈利波特的占卜教授崔老妮和石內卜。
國中時在學校第一次看《愛是您・愛是我》,當然那時候看的是刪減版,不過一直對色情片那段謎之有印象。追根溯源,可能是Martin Freeman這個片段的迷因太深入人心(有興趣可搜martin freeman love actually gif)。現在重看這對,做最入世的事,談最純情的愛,反差感有夠可愛。
導演理查・寇蒂斯是浪漫喜劇大家,他在牛津大學認識了羅溫·艾金森,並一起創作了《豆豆先生》。羅溫·艾金森在《愛是您・愛是我》中也有出演一角,在紅鼻子特別篇中他仍是那個過度包裝的櫃檯店員。原先的劇情設計中羅溫·艾金森是個聖誕天使,過度包裝是為了阻止Alan Rickman買項鍊給外遇對象。
最經典的舉字牌告白橋段,在1965年Bob Dylan的《Subterranean Homesick Blues》MV中就有類似的設計。不過MV中男子舉的字卡並非對話,而是歌詞中的重點單字。畫面和音樂有些許速度的落差,發現牌子換太快時男子還會手動lag一下,超級好玩。
Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues (Official Video)Trying to become the ideal adult, only to realize that no matter your age, the fear of the unknown never truly fades? With limited life experience, we struggle to survive in an ever-changing world. We become parents, yet still carry the weight of our own upbringing. Here are five soul-nourishing cinematic “coming-of-age remedies” to help you rediscover your original self and strength—bring along your inner child and taste the essence of growth: Yi Yi, a Taiwanese New Wave masterpiece, reflects the quiet milestones of growing up. When dreams fall apart, All About Lily Chou-Chou captures the angst of disillusioned youth. Lost your way? Get gloriously drunk with Another Round, the Oscar-winning Danish hit. Feeling bound by your roots? Draw rebellious inspiration from Afghanistan’s maverick filmmaker in Nothingwood. And if loneliness creeps in, turn to the extraordinary lives of creators like Cheng Wen, Steve Jobs, Yayoi Kusama, and Agnès Varda. Sometimes, growing up isn’t about letting go of your inner child—but learning how to walk with them.
What makes a classic a classic is its ability to awaken a sense of longing for times past. Timeless and ever-enchanting, classics are meant to be savored, again and again.
Life is full of choices—some big, some small. We choose one path and let go of another, or sometimes, we hesitate... Some choices are mere passing moments, while others shape our lives forever. As actors, much of what we do is also about making choices. Try this in one rehearsal, try that in the next. Hesitation happens too. There’s no right or wrong—only whether it works, moment to moment. Some choices come from instinct, some from reason... Ah! To be or not to be. In this grown-up world where there are no perfect answers, maybe that’s what makes being alive so endlessly fascinating.
