あなたが寝てる間に…  |
シンプルで軽快なラブストーリーだけに、さほど難しい英単語は今回出てこなかったけど、片思いの彼がアクシデントで記憶喪失になることから、 coma（昏睡状態）、amnesia（記憶喪失）などの難易度の高い英単語が登場した。
サンドラ演じるLucyが駅の発券係の仕事をしていたことからは、 transit（通行）やtoken（代用貨幣・トークン）、commuter（通勤者）といった単語が登場した。collectorが「収集」という意味だけでなく「集金」という意味でも使われることもわかった。
Lucyがひょんなことから嘘をつくはめになってしまったことから、overhear（ふと耳にする） や muse（物思いしながら心の中でつぶやく）、be caught up（巻き込まれる）、embarrass（恥ずかしい思いをさせる）、confess（白状する）、persuade（説得する）などの単語も出てきたね。シーン、シーンによって、それに合った英単語が出てくるのが面白い。 『あなたが寝てる閒に...』心に残る一本だ。
さて、今日から３月だね。２月はバレンタインデーということで恋愛映画を４本お届けしたけど、３月はどんな映画にしようかな。春かあ。春と言えば、なんだろ？また考えよ。では、今週のおさらい。
SUMMERY
While You Were Sleeping is a 1995 romantic comedy film directed by Jon Turteltaub and written by Daniel G. Sullivan and Frederic Lebow.
It stars Sandra Bullock as Lucy, a Chicago Transit Authority token collector and Bill Pullman as Jack, the brother of a man whose life she saves, along with Peter Gallagher as Peter, the man who is saved, and Peter Boyle, Glynis Johns, and Jack Warden as members of Peter's family.
PLOT
Lucy Moderatz (Sandra Bullock) is a lonely token collector on the Chicago Transit Authority who has a secret crush on a handsome commuter named Peter Callaghan (Gallagher), whose name Lucy does not know.
On Christmas day, she rescues him from an oncoming train after a mugger pushes him onto the tracks. He falls into a coma, and she accompanies him to the hospital, where a nurse overhears her musing aloud, "I was going to marry him." Misinterpreting her, the nurse tells his family that she is his fiancée.
At first she is too caught up in the panic to explain the truth. She winds up keeping the secret for a number of reasons: she is embarrassed, Elsie (Peter's grandmother) has a heart condition, and she quickly comes to love being a part of Peter's big and loving family.
One night, thinking she is alone while visiting Peter, she confesses about her predicament. Saul (Peter's godfather) overhears the truth and later confronts her, but tells her he will keep her secret, because the accident has brought the family closer.
With no family and few friends, Lucy becomes so captivated with the quirky Callaghans and their unconditional love for her that she cannot bring herself to hurt them by revealing that Peter does not even know her.
She spends a belated Christmas with them and then meets Peter's younger brother Jack (Pullman), who is supposed to take over his father's furniture business. He is suspicious of her at first, but he falls in love with her as they spend time together. They develop a close friendship and soon she falls in love with him as well.
After New Year's Eve, Peter wakes up. He does not know Lucy, so it is assumed that he must have amnesia. She and Peter spend time together, but she has already fallen in love with Jack. Saul persuades Peter to propose to her "again", and she agrees despite her feelings for Jack.
When Jack visits her the day before the wedding, she gives him a chance to change her mind, asking him if he can give her a reason not to marry Peter. He replies that he can not, leaving her disappointed.
On the day of the wedding, just as the priest begins the ceremony, Lucy finally confesses everything and tells the family she is in love with Jack rather than Peter.
Ashley Bartlett Bacon, Peter's real fiancée (who happens to be married herself), also arrives to stop the wedding. As the family argues, Lucy slips out unnoticed, unsure of her future.
Some time later, as Lucy collects tokens from passengers at the train station, Jack places an engagement ring in the token tray of her booth. With the entire Callaghan family watching, he walks into her booth and proposes to her.
In the last scenes of the film, they kiss at the end of their wedding, then leave on a CTA train for their honeymoon. She narrates that he fulfilled her dream of going to Florence, Italy, and explains that, when Peter asked when she fell in love with Jack, she replied, "it was while you were sleeping."
