JERRY: So did they, uh, uncross the lines, yet?
DONNA: No. They can’t find the problem. It’s really getting ridicurous.
JERRY: ………..Did you say, “ridicurous”?
DONNA: Ridiculous.
JERRY: …..I thought you said… “ridicurous.” [he and she look at each
other, puzzled.]

theinsatiables:

Like Someone in Love

“When I was writing the script I wasn’t thinking about a title. But then came this scene where the stone breaks the window. All of a sudden I wrote ‘The End’, in English, and the version of ‘The End’ that came to my mind was that of the title at the end of classic black-&-white American films, even down to the font… When I started searching for music for the moment the girl enters the old man’s apartment, it came naturally that as someone from my generation, he would listen to jazz. The first album I took off my shelf was Ella Fitzgerald and I just bumped into this song, ‘Like Someone in Love’, which I thought was a nicer title. Once I shot the actual ending I thought ‘The End’ might lead to some misunderstanding, as if I meant that the character died. The phrase itself sounds good to me, too. There is nothing determined and definitive about love. It’s better to say that we are like someone in love rather than asserting that we are in love. Death or birth are definitive; love is nothing but an illusion. We have in this film four people who are like some people in love. […] I’m sure that we can never be the witness of a story from its beginning to its end. I would say that this film doesn’t have an adequate opening and it doesn’t have a real ending either, but it also proves my idea that all films start before we get into them and they end after we leave them… I don’t mean to create a distance from the spectator; I want to remind them that they should have the same inquiring spirit for films as in life. If you’re curious you will definitely find enough information – you don’t need more, and whenever we’re given more, we don’t accept it. A good example is pornographic films, which give us too much. That’s not the way it is in real life: it goes against emotions, feelings, sex even. Too much information is a kind of pornography.”
