I happened to watched The Prince and Me this summer. It wasn’t a very popular so it was hard to find. Fortunately, I saw it at the school’s library, so I checked it out immediately. I looked at the movie case, and I knew that this was some kind of movie that I wouldn’t watch – wouldn’t, if it was not because my girlfriend told me that the main character’s somewhat similar to her.
So now I found myself watching the movie, trying to note the similarities I could find, besides trying to enjoy it, of course. Here are my notes:
00:01:40 – She’s ugly. She’s like my girlfriend? Really? Even her personality, I can’t see any similarity. Yet.
00:03:11 – Did she just say “bloody”?! Well, I hope she’s not like my girlfriend.
00:04:14 – Now I realize who she is. The girl in American Pie 4.
00:06:39 – I have a pretty good picture of her now. A good person with a very unlikable personality.
00:07:26 – She didn’t even come out to catch the bride’s flowers? How dry.
00:09:03 – She’s ugly.
00:10:52 – She said that “Shakespeare is so useless”?! Would my girlfriend say that?
00:25:57 – They just met at the lab for the first time and she’s already interested in him? She has a very sensitive heart covered by a tough shell. Exactly the type I call “very fragile”.
00:32:09 – She danced while working? The fact that she doesn’t like Shakespeare, and still likes some music and dances weirdly shows that she’s neglectful with life – living without knowing or finding the meanings of it. She would normally have a hard live. Yeah, normally, when there’s no prince around.
00:33:33 – She gave the prince – her apprentice – compliments. She obviously had had a challenging life, but because of that she could become a good manager.
00:34:23 – She turned down the prince’s request after several seconds of serious hesitation. It’s not easy for her to simply accept what she wants. How sad. Being her lover would be very tiresome and stressful. Not my first choice.
00:40:54 – She couldn’t understand some simple poems. This might be how she’s similar to my girlfriend. Sometimes she couldn’t understand the things that were so obvious to me.
00:47:05 – She has Gus(?), her pet moose. That’s cute. Not as cute as Arwen though.
01:08:28 – She’s saying stuff about the prince during her important medical exam. She had reached her psychotic state because of love. Breaking up would make my girlfriend sad too, unbelievably sad.
01:10:45 – She has a great friend – a truly great one. My girlfriend needs someone like that.
01:23:36 – In the opening ceremony, she shuffled the dirt like a “farm girl”, even though the two people before her did it differently. That’s quite an unwise thing to do. Unnecessary stubbornness should be avoided, Arwen.
∞ - She gave up their love because she wouldn’t be able to do what she wanted? How unthoughtful. How selfish. Only when the prince stepped down and gave in, their love could then remain. This “happy” ending is not satisfactory to me at all, since their love was only with one side being amazing.
Dear, I don’t want to see you in her. I don’t want to see her in you, either.
