Romance is the willingness of two people to drop their wits

The plot of Notting Hill can be said to be quite unrealistic, even more fairy tale than a fairy tale. Both men and women faced countless insurmountable obstacles, and without any solution, they still mustered the courage to confess their hearts to each other, and finally happily ever after. The plot is derailed from reality, but it is estimated that few people will feel that it is not romantic, right?

Romance is always linked to a bit of stupidity. If your eyes are full of intelligence and reason, can your heart be throbbing? Without throbbing, how can there be romance?

Romance is the willingness of two people to drop their wits.

No matter how much you dote on and love again, the rational tyrant is sweet at best, but not necessarily romantic. Maybe the director and the writer just realized that there must be a bit of stupidity in the romance to have Notting Hill.

Thanks again to the teachers who compiled Notting Hill into college English textbooks. It is estimated that when editing, it is also the same girlish heart, right?

Notting Hill quotes

  • [who will get the last brownie?]

    Anna Scott: Wait, what about me?

    Max: Sorry, you think *you* deserve the brownie?

    Anna Scott: Well a shot at it at least huh?

    William: Well, you'll have to fight me for it, this is a very good brownie.

    Anna Scott: I've been on a diet every day since I was nineteen, which basically means I've been hungry for a decade. I've had a series of not nice boyfriends, one of whom hit me. Ah, and every time I get my heart broken, the newspapers splash it about as though it's entertainment. And it's taken two rather painful operations to get me looking like this.

    Honey: Really?

    Anna Scott: Really. And, one day not long from now, my looks will go, they will discover I can't act and I will become some sad middle-aged woman who looks a bit like someone who was famous for a while.

    Max: [long pause] Nah, nice try gorgeous, but you don't fool anyone.

    William: Pathetic effort to hog the brownie.

  • Bernie: But she said she wanted to go out with you?

    William: Yes - sort of...

    Bernie: That's nice.

    William: What?

    Bernie: Well, you know, anybody saying they want to go out with you is... pretty great... isn't it...?

    William: It was sort of sweet actually - I mean, I know she's an actress and all that, so she can deliver a line - but she said that she might be as famous as can be - but also... that she was just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.

    [pause]

    William: Oh, sod a dog. I've made the wrong decision, haven't I?
