In Her Shoes (2005)


Two sisters have nothing in common but size 8 ½ feet. Maggie and Rose are both best friends and polar opposites when it comes to values, goals and personal styles. Maggie is a party girl who barely graduated from high school, recycles jobs as quickly as yesterday's newspapers and believes her biggest asset is her attractiveness to the opposite sex. Her recurring state of unemployment leaves her virtually homeless as she bounces between the sofas of her friends and relatives. With no confidence in her intellectual ability, she prizes makeup over books and has innate talent for choosing the perfect accessories and clothes for any occasion. Rose is a Princeton educated attorney at a top law firm in Philadelphia. Her beautifully decorated prewar apartment is her haven from the outside world. With her nose perpetually to the grindstone, she struggles constantly with her weight and never feels comfortable in the clothes she wears. Her low self-esteem regarding her physical appearance has left her dating life non-existent. Rose's one joy in life is shoes (because they always fit), but unfortunately she has few social opportunities to remove them from her closet. After a calamitous falling out, the two sisters travel a bumpy road toward true appreciation for one another--aided along the way by the discovery of the maternal grandmother they thought was dead. Through their re-connection with their grandmother, Ella, Maggie and Rose learn how to make peace with themselves and with each other.

*I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is *your doing, my darling)
*I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
*I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
*And it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
*And whatever a sun will always sing is you
*Here is the deepest secret nobody knows (Here is the root of the root, and the bud of the bud, *and the sky of the sky of a tree called life which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can *hide)
*And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
*I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart) ... by E. E. Cummings~
*E.E. Cummings這首詩,在最後婚禮由妹妹唸出來,真是催淚...整首詩所用的字都很簡單,傳達的意義卻非常深刻~
*這部電影有趣之處,是除了愛情之外,還有手足,祖孫,朋友之情;把一個人,在生活中可能遇到的種種狀況都涵蓋了~
