The ending is the most interesting to me, I laughed a lot and deeply remember the last quote which is "Nobody's perfect!" I think it is unbelievable,because Osgood might not care about Jeo's nature hair color or having baby or not. But Osgood must care about is his fiancee a girl or a guy. Osgood said that might because he didnt hear clear and response too fast to think. If the movie keep rolling for 1 more minutes, Osgood might notice what Jerry exactly said and be suprised and scared.
ReplyDeleteJoe and Sugar will be married, but Osgood and Jerry will broke up. To me, Marylin Monroe is one of the American culture in this movie, she is the representive person. And alcohol prohibition. In my country, there was no prohibition about alcohol
i like the ending of this movie. it is interesting and meaningful. the most impress me is the quote "nobody's perfect." that is right. i am totally agree with that. in the world, there is no one can be not weak.even the greatest people, they probably have more or less problems, like Marilyn Monroe， we see she is beautiful and happy in the movies. however, she always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop in her real life. i think, Osgood and Jerry are going to be marry and Joe will be together with Sugar after the story ends. the american culture in this movie include people like drinking alcohol, having party, joining band, and so on. in China, people like to drink alcohol when they celebrate or when they are sad. but in american, people like drinking where ever and whenever. it is exactly different from China.
ReplyDeletefor me the last sentence of the movie is the funniest part of the movie, i didn't expect this end because when jerry said -I'm a men- I thought Osgood would be angry, but otherwise, he only said "nobody's perfect".
ReplyDeleteI think is very obvious that Joe and Sugar will be married but i'm not sure about Osgoord and Jerry, I guess Osgoord's mother won't accept this wedding.
There are 3 examples of American culture, Marylin Monroe, Dry law and the yatchs. In America there are a big tradition related to boats, at least, in California I saw a lot of ports.
In Spain there are a lot of boats too, people with a high economic level usually has one boat.
ReplyDeleteOsgood means he doesn't care anything even Jerry is a guy, just because he loves he so want to marry him. Osgood himself isn't perfect too, he is older than Jerry. Sugar will marry to Sugar, and they will have a happiness life, likes normal story. And I think Jerry won't be together Osgood, because I can't accept so I cannot image. But they will be good friends. There are many examples in this movie, for example, the band. The girls band with different kinds of musical instruments. Secondly, the yacht is a kind of American culture too, yacht party and rich guy bring girls to his yacht. Next, the dance and music in the movie. In our country, the dance always is a group of people, but in America, they like a man with a woman. That is a big different.
ReplyDeletei think in the end that is funny, Osgood obsession Jerry to the extreme, do not mind that Jerry is a man. and Osgood said "Nobody's perfect!" that is ture. people always make mistake. i think after this movie Joe and Sugar will get marrie. maybe Osgood and Jarry will live together. in movie Joe and Jarry are men in women suite. they want get money. in china there are a lots of example in history. like Mulan. she is women in men suite. and military service for the father.
ReplyDeletethe movie's ending is funny and laughable. also, i think it is a little bit surprise me. and Osgood ls last line "nobody's perfect."makes me thinks a lot. God is equal and fair. he closes a door, but opening a window for you. therefore, no one can be prefect. if you are good at something, it means you are poor in doing another things. about the main characters in the movie, Osgood and Jerry will get married. because Osgood can accept Jerry is a man. that is why he says "nobody's perfect." also, Joe and Sugar, they escape from the murder and they go to be together. we can see people love drinking alcohol in the movie, and it talks about homosexual. it seems commend and people are easier to accept those. but in HONG KONG, less people like to talk about homosexual. they do not consider it is a commend thing. people scare to mention it. in addition, there are many people like to drink whey they hand out, but not always.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the last line that Osgood said to Jerry is very funny, and with the seeing the situation, it is more entertained than just hear the phrase. I think that Osgood treated Jerry nicely is only because he loves him and didn't noticed that Jerry is a real man. Moreover, at the ending, Osgood said " nobody is perfect" after Jerry told him the truth that he is a man, Osgood did not even shocked by that, instead of being carelees and calm to replied Jerry. I think that after the ending, Jerry would definitely certify his sex as a real man to Osgood, and break up with him. In addition, Sugar and Joe would probably get marry. From this movie, I think that alcohol Prohibition and Marilyn Monroe are the examples of the American culture. In Taiwan, we didn't have alcohol prohibition in the past, because Taiwan was always under control of Japan government before Taiwan got free.Moreover, in the past there are many alcohol factories that made a lot of money by selling alcohols, and we have very harsh laws on bootlegging alcohols and under age alcohol drinkers.
