Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. They met at a point, when they both felt incredibly alone and isolated, even though they were surrounded by people and the brights lights of Tokyo. One was accompanying her husband abroad and then was left alone all day, while the other was a struggling actor selling Suntory whiskey 'James Bond' style. They experienced a lot with each other in a short period of time and they knew it wouldn't last. At the end of it all, he whispered something in her ear and departed, while the audience was left wondering: What did he say? Which of the following films does this plot describe?

Answer: Lost in Translation

This movie captured the bustling urban landscape of Tokyo while blending it with the extreme sensations of the confusion, loneliness, and silence that people experience in many parts of Japan, and their lives as a whole. Bill Murray and Scarlet Johannson did an amazing job with the characters of Bob and Charlotte, and director Sophia Coppola created a touching portrayal of a beautiful, ephemeral encounter abroad.
2. When Bess, a simple quiet girl, met Jan, a Norwegian oil rigger, her life immediately became exciting and full of purpose. They weren't able to be together often, as his work took him offshore, and she was restricted by her church and her family. They shared a mutual interest in their passion for one other. When a freak accident incapacitated Jan, Bess was left to make some dangerous ventures and heartbreaking decisions. Which of the following films does this plot describe?

Answer: Breaking the Waves

This movie was utterly depressing. *Spoiler Alert* Jan encouraged Bess to seek out other men sexually and then to come and tell him about it afterward, in an effort to keep the sexual bridge in their relationship functioning. However, Bess, being very simple and naive, sought out the wrong men and was brutally raped and murdered. Immediately after this incident, at the end of the film, Jan regained the ability to walk and they buried Bess out at sea.
3. These two star-crossed lovers met at several points throughout their lives before they fell in love and decided to marry. They came from different backgrounds and shared very different political beliefs. Each was put on a pedestal by the other and they each began to expect the other person to adapt and compromise who they were. They parted and met again, years later, and shared a moment about their past. Which of the following films does this plot describe?

Answer: The Way We Were

The romantic tragedy of this film stemmed from differing political affiliations and the House Un-American Activites Committee (HUAC), but the root of the relationship surrounded two passionate individuals, unwilling to change their beliefs just to make a relationship work.

The ending of the film is a favorite with the "break-up movie" fans, as it remains a fantastic ending to a "comatose love story".
4. When two young girls met at school in Christchurch, New Zealand, no one thought anything bad could happen to their royal family. Their intense relationship was complicated by illness, protective parents, and by the prying eyes of the community. However, when the girls refused to be separated from one another, the story took a tragic and horrifying turn. Which of the following films does this plot describe?

Answer: Heavenly Creatures

This film was stunning and was directed by Peter Jackson. It was based on the true story of Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme, who murdered Pauline's mother in an effort to stay together. There was a considerable romantic component to their relationship and it was a motivating factor for their parents wanting to separate them "for their own good". Conditions of their sentencing stated that they would never again be able to communicate with one another and, according to the end of the film, they have not spoken since.
5. When Clementine and Joel met on the train to Montauk, they thought there was something familiar about each other. Neither remembered they had undergone 'lacunar amnesia' treatments. They did not know the depth of their past together and they did not know what had gone wrong with their relationship. The memories were coming and going and it became harder to remember the truth. Which of the following films does this plot describe?

Answer: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

This movie was utterly bizarre and absolutely fascinating. Both Clementine and Joel underwent voluntary 'lacunar amnesia,' whereby the memories of their past relationship was erased. Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey truly captured the confusion, sadness, and vulnerability involved in their relationship.

They couldn't undo the past, they couldn't remember the past, but they decided to try and reinvent their past in the future together.
6. How well does anyone ever truly know their partner? Four different people's lives are blended together, and no one stayed faithful to each other. They all met under differing circumstances, such as at an aquarium, after a traffic accident, having a portrait taken, and working at a strip club. All of them crossed different boundaries with one another and no one was ever truly happy, but instead was always searching for something/someone else to fill the void. Which of the following films does this plot describe?

Answer: Closer

The most amazing and shocking part of this film was the brutal honesty regarding people's sexuality and (sometimes) sexual depravity. In addition (*Spoiler Alert*) it was amazing to find out that after spending four years with her husband, Alice was actually named Jane and she had lied the entire time about her true identity.

This film was very compelling, graphic, sultry, and sadly honest about the reality of some people's romantic lives and their inability to be happy.
7. Two cynical comic book creators, Holden and Alyssa, met at a convention and realized that they had a lot in common. However, what placed a barrier between them was the fact that Alyssa was a lesbian. Holden and Alyssa formed a deep friendship and eventually engaged in a sexual relationship, but it was complicated by their friends' opinions and Holden's need to over-analyze the past. Which of the following films does this plot describe?

Answer: Chasing Amy

Holden and Alyssa, by all accounts, would have been perfect for each other. Alyssa was able to try and make it all work, but Holden couldn't let go of things he had learned about Alyssa's past. Holden's romantic idealism regarding his relationship with Alyssa caused him to act out and make ridiculous demands upon her, his best friend, and their relationships. P.S.

It didn't end well for him.
8. Between the 1960s and the 1980s, two people met while herding sheep in the mountains of Wyoming and defied expectations by pursuing a relationship with each other. They were both trapped in marriages that didn't complete them and they couldn't help but always be drawn back to one another. As fleeting as their time was together, it wasn't until it was tragically cut short that the depth of their love and connection was realized. Which of the following films does this plot describe?

Answer: Brokeback Mountain

This film broke the mold when it came to tragic love stories, not only because of the content, but also because of the famous actors involved in the film. Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger each portrayed a different man trapped in a identity and lifestyle that he knew was a lie, but couldn't turn his back on.

After twenty years of destroying both of their marriages and only pursuing small trips with one another into the wilderness, it finally reached a boiling point and they left each other angry.

When Ennis' (Heath Ledger) finally sent Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) a letter and it was returned with a 'deceased' stamp on it, the depth of Ennis' sorrow was finally revealed and it was devastating.
9. What would happen if one ordinary thing in one ordinary day ended up changing everything in your life? What would happen if you missed that moment? Your life could diverge into two different directions with different characters, struggles, and endings. Which of the following films does this plot describe?

Answer: Sliding Doors

Helen, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, was fired from her job and when she tried to catch the tube in the London Underground her life split into two different stories, each involving a wonderful new man and her cheating boyfriend. The film took you down two paths and the road converged into one at the end of the film. Of all of the films on this quiz, this one could be considered uplifting, but you have to get through the depression before you can be uplifted by this movie.
10. Of all the gin joints in all the world she had to come into my bar and ask Sam to play "As Time Goes By." We experienced a lot together after rekindling our romance and it all became very dramatic. While I would miss her dearly, I knew that having her stay with me would make her regret it...maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow... Which of the following films does this plot describe?

Answer: Casablanca

This move is an all-time classic depressing and beautiful love story. Set in the backdrop of Morocco in 1941, this film is the crown jewel of beautiful and compelling love stories.
