"i'm not good at finding things, i'm good at losing things"

Movie: DEDICATION, directed by Justin Theroux. Starring Billy Crudup and Mandy Moore.

Henry Roth is messed up. A New York children's book author who tells kids that Santa doesn't exist, he hates sleeping with - and next to - anyone, including his girlfriend and must lay on the floor, usually with heavy objects on top of him just to feel safe. His motto is Life is nothing but the occasional burst of laughter rising above the interminable wail of grief.

“Dedication,” a modern love story in which a misanthropic, emotionally complex author of a hit children’s book series (Billy Crudup) is forced to team with a beautiful illustrator (Mandy Moore) after his best friend and creative collaborator (Tom Wilkinson) passes away marks the directorial debut of Justin Theroux. As Henry struggles with letting go of the ghosts of love and life, he discovers that sometimes you have to take a gamble at life to find love.

主角在trailer尾段說的這句話，「"I'm not good at finding things, I'm really good at losing things"」很有趣。今天我失去了放牙套的小膠盒子，被媽當垃圾般掉了。
