《乌云背后的幸福线》电影精讲

影片简介：

《乌云背后的幸福线》根据Matthew Quick的同名小说处女作改编。这是一部由大卫•欧•拉塞尔执导，由布莱德利•库珀，詹妮弗•劳伦斯主演，由原著《闪开，让我拥抱幸福》改编的电影。此名来自一句谚语，即“每朵乌云都有银边”（Every cloud has a silver lining），预示着主人公帕特乐观的人生态度。

男主人公帕特（布莱德利•库珀）是一个超级乐观的高中历史老师，他似乎总能看到人生的光明面，虽然他因神经疾病在医院住了八个月之后刚刚出院，老婆也跟别人跑了，但是他始终以这句古来的格言为信念。他对和妻子重修旧好充满信心，因此他搬回跟父母的住所，并努力把自己打造成妻子期望的形象。但最后还是败下阵来。后来帕特遇到了蒂凡尼（詹妮弗•劳伦斯 饰演），这位年轻的美人生活也很不如意，两个失意的人儿在一起艰难地探索人生，慢慢从友谊发展成爱情。

精彩对白片段：

Pat: Hey! Hey, wait a second! What are you doing? What happened? How come you weren't outside? What the hell's going on?

Tiffany: I can't, I can't do it.

Pat: What do you mean, you can't do it? You can't do what?

Tiffany: I can't give the letter to Nikki.

Pat: Tiffany, what are you talking about? What do you mean you can't give the letter to Nikki?

Tiffany: Because what am I getting in return? What are you doing for me? You said!

Pat: You said if I wrote a letter, you'd get it to Nikki.

Tiffany: I know.

Pat: That was the set-up.

Tiffany: Because I do this time after time after time, I do all this shit for other people and then I wake up and, and I'm empty, I have nothing!

Pat: What are you talking about? You seem like you're a tough girl to me. Why don't you just do things on your own?

Tiffany: I always get myself in these fucking situations. I give everything to other people and nobody ever, I never... I don't get what I want, okay? I'm not my sister.

Pat: Alright, well, ask for you. What can I do for you?

Tiffany: I can't do it.

Pat: Tiffany, what do you want me to do? Think of something.

Tiffany: There's this thing.

Pat: There’s a thing, okay. What kind of thing?

Tiffany: It’s a thing, it's a thing. It's a, it's a dance thing.

Pat: It’s a dance thing, all right.

Tiffany: It’s a competition thing at the Benjamin Franklin hotel. Tommy would never do it with me and I missed it every single year.

Pat: Well, Tommy's dead, so he's not gonna fucking do it.

Tiffany: Would you please!

Pat: I don't have a filter when I talk.

Tiffany: Can we have one conversation without you reminding me that my goddamn husband is dead?

Pat: Yes, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay, I'm sorry.

Tiffany: But I can only do it if I have a partner... And now I'm about to miss it for another year.

Pat: Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm not gonna dance . What are you talking about?

Tiffany: What, your schedule is so busy? “Grapes of wrath” and watching football with your dad?

Pat: Tiffany, I'm not gonna do a dance with you.

Tiffany: All right, then I'm not giving her your fucking letter.

Pat: Wait a second! But you promised you would do this.

Tiffany: Think about it.

Pat: Well, I already did do something for you, you know.

Tiffany: What did you do for me?

Pat: I took care of that jerk off that was in front of your house.

Tiffany: What? Jody?

Pat: Let me ask you something. Do you call him when you're lonely? That encourages him, Tiffany. You shouldn't do it.

Tiffany: Couldn’t you say the same about you and Nikki?

Pat: It’s not at all like me and Nikki. What are you talking about? We're in love and we're married. It's completely different.

Tiffany: How are you in love? Tell me about that. The big Nikki love. Tell me about it, I wanna understand it.

Pat: We have a very unconventional chemistry, it makes people feel awkward, but not me. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever been with.

Tiffany: Wow.

Pat: It’s electric between us, okay? Yeah, we wanna change each other, but that's normal, couples wanna do that, I want her to stop dressing like she dresses, I want her to stop acting so superior to me, okay? And she wanted me to lose weight and stop my mood swings, both of which I've done. I mean, people fight. Couples fight. We would fight, we wouldn't talk for a couple weeks. That's normal. She always wanted the best for me. She wanted me to be passionate and compassionate. And that's a good thing. You know? I just, look, I'm my best self today, and I think she's her best self today, and our love's gonna be fucking amazing.

Tiffany: It's gonna be amazing, and you're gonna be amazing, and she's gonna be amazing, and you're not gonna be that guy that's gonna take advantage of a situation without offering to do something back. So think about the dance thing.
