Monologue-ing Chris

Michael: I'm not frightened. I'm not frightened of anything. The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love. It will sharpen it, forgive its vice. I will be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you entered it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say: Only one thing can make a soul complete and that thing is love

他和 Hannah 騎進一片一望無際的麥田，麥田不遠處，應該是夫妻樹。Desiring a complete soul? 現下，雨下得好兇，靈魂片片剝落，越發混濁。但我想，我怕得很。

Hannah said: You don't have the power to upset me. You don't matter enough to upset me.

Exactly, don't matter enough.

Michael 一卷卷一廂情願疼惜而讀給 Hannah 的錄音帶、Hannah 一封封從不識字到書寫給 Michael 卻沒有回應的信，最後人生就是要面臨失去當口或失去了，才要卸下那莫名其妙堡壘來保護自己的根本不值得一提的自尊和自我，才懂愛嗎？

Who is the angel? Who can be the angel? 無時無刻害怕自己被傷而一再去傷人，佯裝強大而去霸凌那希冀躺在柔軟的心？大雨停了。還是沒有和解。

把自己埋進 The Reader，眼睛腫了一晚又半天，激昂的遊行鳴笛在耳，越來越輕如鴻毛的存在，美其名只有三個字：不夠愛。

Hmm... I'm this shallow that I could only feel the love part strongly and avoided thinking any bit about the controversial Nazi part.

And I suddenly remember the similarity between The Hours and The Revolutionary Road. Laura and April. They're in their seemingly rich and happy-here-after housemaker life but they're so trapped and uncomfortable. What is it that you need and want, girl?

April: Frank Wheeler, I think you're the most interesting person I've ever met.

April: Don't you miss the city?
Frank: Nothing's permanent, right? Right?

April: Look at us. We're just like everyone else. We've bought into the same ridiculous delusion. This idea that you have to settle down and resign from life.

Frank: I wanna feel things, really feel them.

April: We can't continue pretending that this is the life we wanted. Who made these rules anyway? You got me safely in this little trap. You think you can bully me in the feeling of whatever you want.

Frank: We can be happy here. I can make you happy here. We're gonna be okay.
April: I hope so. I really hope so.
