Movie analysis

Many individuals quote the movie Hitch. Why?

Life is not about the amount of breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.

You know what it's like getting up every morning? Feeling hopeless, feeling like the love of your life is waking up with the wrong man. But, at the same time hoping that she still finds happiness, even if it's never going to be with you.

Any guy can sweep any girl off her feet, he just needs the right broom.

Relationships are for people who are waiting for something better to come along.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

Lean in, place your hand on the small of her back, say it in her ear like a secret.

The writer, Kevin Bisch, was feeling something while he was writing such a script. What was it? "A friend of Bisch’s used to call him up and ask his advice on where he should take his dates. Bisch often heard of places to go and things to do and offered up numerous suggestions. “We said, ‘What if there was a service like this?’”, Bisch says. The idea of a "date doctor," the central character." (Rachel Wimberly, March 12, 2005) Interesting to find the motivation of screenwriter's; finding the source of their ideas, even though it couldn't be put any more simple.

There are a lot of 'students' out there that ask advice from multiple numbers of 'teachers'. The only type advice is to follow your own advice. Their 'words of wisdom' are made for their use, not your own.
