AWAY WE GO Lines Notes

It was really good. The wedding was good.Marriage is great.But what you need to be happy,and sane,is this...
Okay,watch this.Here is you 2 guys.Okay,so you kiss,you do others things and then you make a baby.The baby comes in there and he nestles in.And you guys hug and get real tight.And then we do this.And this,and this...
It's your house.Now what is this? Is that your house.Now what is this?Is this a home?Is this a fammily?
NO,Of course not.That's just raw material.The people,the walls,the furniture.Okay,so that's the basics.
But that's not a home.That's not a fammily.What binds it all together is this...this is LOVE.
That's your love, guys.Here comes.The patience,your consideration,your better selves.
Man,you just have no idea how good you can be.But you have to use all of it.All of it.It's not like simple masonry where you use a little layer of mortar between each row of bricks.No,with this, you have to use tons of it.For every brick, there's a half-ton of mortar.It's all those good things you have in you.The love,the wisdom,the generosity,the selflessness,the patience,PATIENCE.
At 3 am ,when everyone's awake because Ibrahim is sick and he can't find the bathroom and he puked in Katya's bed.
Patience when you blink...when you blink and it's 5;30 and it time to get up again, and you know you 're going to be tried all day,all week,and your fucking life...
And you are thinking,"What happened to Greece?","What happened to swinmming naked off the coast of Greece?"
And you have to be willing to make the fammily out of whatever you have. You have to be so much better than you ever thought. The
family needs to be supported by love, but it is not supported by love alone, more What is needed is patience, patience, selflessness, generosity, consideration, wisdom... Maybe many things are sacrificed, but compared to the family that can bring you warmth and sense of belonging, everything will seem less important. Maybe, on a Sunday that belongs to me, I can find those long-lost feelings, maybe it will be more worthy of heart and enjoyment, and it will also look so beautiful...


Remember these vows, whether it is intended to be a parent, You’re about to be a parent or you’re already a parent.

Burt:You promise never to leave me.Do you promise to never leave this baby that we are having?

Verona:I promise.I do.Do you promise to stop talking about your ability to find or not find my vagina after I give brith ?

Burt:I do.Do you promise to let me cobble...to careve in my spare time, and teach our daughter the lore of the great Mississippi?

Verona:I do.Do you promise never to develop a thing for seahorse?
(....Maggie's fault)

Burt:I do.Do you promise to let our daughter be fat or skinny or any weight at all? Because we want her to be happy, no matter waht.Being obsessed with weight is just too clich shit for our daughter.

Verona:Yes, I do.Do you promise ,when shen talks,you'll listen? Like,really listen,especially when she's scared,and that her fights will be your fights?

Burt:I do. And do you promise that if I die embarrassing and boring death that you're gonna tell our daughter that her father was killed by Russian soldiers in this intense hand-to-hand combat in an attempt to save the Chechnyan orphans?

Verona:I do .Chechnyan orphans.I do.I do. The

final destination is HOME.


Finally, I returned to the starting point, walked into the house, opened the door, and the sea breeze was blowing on the face.


Burt said, This place is perfect for us.Do you think?


Verona: I hope so. I fucking hope so.

Everything feels good. Whether it's the baby stroller that couldn't be delivered, the plastic pears hanging on the tree, or the old house...the important thing is to find your way.

Hope everyone can find your own Burt or Verona.

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ In a

nutshell, this is the modern American version of "Mengmu's Three Moves" ", the film is a great

film was selected as the opening film of the 2009 Edinburgh Film Festival.

Before "Moving for the Child", the film used two other names: "This Must Be the Place" and "Falanders". (I seem to prefer This must be the place)



The following are related comments.



Different from his previous family-themed movies "American Beauty" and "Road to Revolution", in this movie, Sam Mendes is unusually less intense Criticize the American middle class.

——The "New York Times"

film is ultimately about the relationship between people, people's desire for communication and people's pursuit of a better home. The child in the belly is just an opportunity for people to pursue.

    Yes, either the comedy part is abrupt or the warmth part is abrupt

    The warmth is so good~ Sam Mendes finally abandoned the heavy film = =

Away We Go quotes

  • LN: The pain is so enlightening. And now, having experienced childbirth, I watch CNN and I really feel like I understand war. On top of which, when I had Wolfie, I had the most enormous orgasm.

  • Verona De Tessant: Look at him. I'm about to have a baby that might have three hands or a shovel for a head, and the thing he's most concerned about is whether or not I'm gonna keep my boobs.
