蔓延2009

刚看完这部片子，结局很讽刺，很杯具。当爱情和现实同时放在天枰上的时候，每个人心中的那杆称都是不一样的。做任何事情都要讲时机，时机不对，所做的一切都是白费，这部电影的平均分数是三颗星，我给了五颗星，因为看电影也要讲时机，我此时的心情就是良好的时机。

       其实很多女人都靠男人而活着，为什么男人不能靠女人而活着，影片的主人公正是这样一个“小白脸”，英俊的面庞（说实话，我不觉得长得很好看）健壮的胸肌，高大的身材，我想这是很多男人羡慕的对象吧
    做小白脸不是他的错，错的是他太滥交了，我想他要是一直呆在那个富婆家里生活会很滋润，富婆应该不会离开他吧，但是他不甘于寂寞，好像哪天不碰女人便没法活似的，也许泡妞是一种瘾，他上瘾了，随时随地都可以让女人跟他上床。
    结果他过的很惨，这种人很多人都不会同情吧。其实他很可怜。

      肉色的开场，吞噬的结局。前段看的时候脑海里一直循环着裘德洛的《阿尔菲》，一样的花花公子，一样的风流倜傥，一样的阅色无数，一样的众叛亲离，一样的翻然醒悟。当然《阿尔菲》无论从演员还是剧情会更有吸引力。这是这样熟悉的感觉让这部电影降分不少。还好结局不落入俗套为该片增色一些。

It is a story about love game. How to catch a woman, get her laid, and pay for your bill. How to catch a rich guy, get him commit and marry you.

I love Nicky. Love his 6 or 7 inches face, his body, and his careless attitude towards everything. If I was a rich middle age lawyer, I don't think I could make another decision but keeping him.

I love this movie's first half part, when Nicky still lives in Amanda’s gorgeous mansion up the hill. He is a born heart broker. He is cute, but he is not interesting. He knows nothing but pleasing women and wasting his day in the pool and making pointless phone calls.

It is so real. When Amanda found out Nicky was staying in her place, drinking her beer, watching her tv, and getting a blow job from a naked woman, they got into an argument but ended up in fucking. From that moment on, they know exactly what each other’s role is. But Nicky is naughty. He still wants to fuck around; he doesn't care Amanda’s effort to keep him. Amanda’s surgery is for no one but him. But he doesn't care. Why should he care? Anything you earn without hard effort is not exciting at all. He needs challenge. He needs someone to be his counterpart.

He enjoys the lifestyle a rich woman can provide to him, but he doesn’t like the fact how he got it. . He is a womanizer. All the women in his life are just tools. He knows how to use them so well, that he always gets what he wants.

I like the scene when Amanda waited for him for a whole night; he got pissed off and packed up. How she threw his clothes at him, how she slapped his face, how she cooled down, and offered to cook for him, just wanted to change her mind again and hope he wouldn’t leave. The details are so real. How a woman got mad, got desperate, got cooling down, changed mind, scared of losing some lovely toy……

I don’t like the following part, for I think even if Nicky is a frog, he is a great looking one. He struggled for his fate, he tried to love for love, but he got betrayed. Kind of sad. I don’t like to watch a cute and hot guy got into that kind of ending.

In this city, everyone think they are noble, there is no chance for frogs. (You gonna to kiss many frogs before you kiss a real prince. )

Every month, 30,000 people come to LA to live their dream life.
Every month, 30,000 people leave LA with a broken heart.
I never understand why LA airport’s departure and arrival are on different levels.
Now I know so they won’t meet each other.

首先，我想问一下，就没有人留意到哈利的友情吗。这是电影里表现出的人性中，我觉得唯一值得歌颂的。其他的都很不堪。当然，这不是主题。

欲望，和自作自受的挣扎，才是皮囊的归宿。男主角曾经肯定很enjoy他那种生活。但欲望总有暂停，就像每次射了之后都会有丝厌倦一样。
所以并不是遇上海伦他才渴望爱情。渴望爱情是必然的。遇上海伦只是一个时机。
但不幸的是，他们不是纯粹的爱，惺惺相惜的成分更大吧。最后的结局理所当然。他接过海伦丈夫的5美分，必须像个杂工一样离开。因为他终究是理解海伦的。
生活的压力下，如果有那样的身材，又游手好闲，事实上男主角也只能像他的第一任女友说的那样，“You are a whore.”
性质上跟男妓无异，才可把体面的生活维持下去。
如果想要爱情，那将是另一种生活。看你有没有勇气，因为即使没有海伦，也失去那个律师富婆，你的第一任女友还在那里。你只需有真正的行动。
平平淡淡才是福？想圆满爱情，必须皈依这一信条。
但谁舍得你放弃寻欢作乐的潇洒、找份工作，做个踏实的丈夫？你这个尤物，不挥霍青春和肉体，的确对不住造物主。就像你Kutcher如果不做演员，不在银幕上露肉，观众们都会惋惜，我也是。
但幸福是自己的，如果不是演员不是明星。像男主角，只是个壮实性感的帅小伙，手里没俩钱，我劝你还是早点归去。
爱情很忙，只肯兜转于年轻人之间。趁着还年轻，及时把好皮囊给厮守一生的人吧。

四颗星，有三颗给Kutcher的身材。我也只是个观众。

或许很多人不喜欢这部影片，觉得剧情平淡，或沉闷。又或是被Ashton在剧中塑造的男主角的外表性感内心肤浅的形象，蒙蔽了深切的思考，认为这是一部无脑片。我却认为Ashton果然不负盛名，一半天才，一般傻瓜。以他的表演才华塑造了这个悲情角色。
尽管王尔德认为，艺术并非生活之反映，而是生活在模仿艺术。不可否认的是，电影作为某种艺术形式，在特定的情况下可以成为反例。不必一定是纪录片，像这样一部虚构的简单的故事片（又或者确有其事而不为我所知吧）也有可能反映了一个存在于地球另一半的某个角落的、离影片观众生活极其遥远的某个小人物的生活。
影片的精彩，是主人公paradoxical的生活与个性。只身来到LA，追寻着一个lifestyle in dream for every heart-breaker，从一个ML machine、whore到一个背负着深沉的感情男人，这深沉可以让他放弃浮华，打破幻想，丢掉一切。却不足以给一个美好的结局。
豆瓣评分6.3，不高。或许是因为，只有作为一个双鱼，才能够深刻感受到幻想破灭的痛，能够随着男主角一起沉浸在廉价的心痛中。
