作为一个John Cusack的粉丝，到这部为止，看过17部他的电影，谈不上每一部都喜欢，却总有那么一两部总是勾起心中的情怀。当然，必不可少的就是他2001年的那部《Serendipity》，中文译作缘分天注定，当然还有另外一个更加琼瑶的名字叫，情有独钟。而这部《The Sure Thing》的中文译名——犯贱情人，看似滑稽，却对电影有着极为恰当的概括，一对欢喜冤家的“犯贱”爱情小曲，如此的真切，如此的直白，如此的清新。看的时候总觉得当年清秀的Cusack很像另一个男演员，想了半天终于蹦出一个名字，囧瑟夫！
要说的是这部电影中，男女主角在屋顶第一次“约会”时看到了仙后座——Cassiopeia，而巧合的是在16年后的《Serendipity》中同样出现了Cassiopeia的故事。是女主角Sarah在滑冰场受伤后，Cusack饰演的Jonathan为她擦伤口时看到她手臂上的雀斑时讲到的，很喜欢这一段，Jonathan是这样讲的：
Those aren't just freckles.If you look closely,you can see Cassiopeia.
A long time ago in Ethiopia,there was this queen named Cassiopeia who thought she was the most beautiful woman in the entire world, and there wasn't anybody in the kingdom who wasn't offended by this woman's relentless vanity. And then one day, she really screwed up and offended the gods. I don't remember what she did and I don't remember who she offended. But it was bad. She crossed the line. But anyway, Poseidon, the sea god,punished Cassiopeia by placing her in the heavens upside down on her throne, stuck for eternity with her skirt around her shoulders and all the blood rushing to her head. And now she's just a constellation in the sky, a bunch of English freckles in the shape of a throne.
So she made one tragic mistake.
And paid for eternity.
