Never Say You're Sorry
When Valet talked to Daiki earlier this week he mentioned 3 movies that influenced his perception and appreciation of American style while growing up in Japan. Since I had already recapped two of these films via screenshots I figured I might as well go for the trifecta. Admittedly, I knew nothing about Love Story (1970) before checking it out besides the famous quote "love is never having to say you're sorry" so I really didn't know what to expect. The end result is a touching film, albeit depressing as hell, practically bursting at the seams with both trad and Ivy style - I mean, the dude gets married in a button down collar. Interestingly enough the main character, Oliver, is continually called "preppy", but that seems more to do with his educational background than the actual clothes he is wearing. Anyhow, if you're looking for some cold weather inspiration (the movie mostly takes place during Boston and NYC's winters) and some waterworks courtesy of your girl (not sure why you would, but to each his own) you might want to check this out. Also, be on the lookout for a younger, but just as badass version of the one and only Tommy Lee Jones.

That powder blue baseball jacket looks like the same one from the animal house post- really want to cop that.
ReplyDeleteThat movie had good style potential, but the 1970s had a bit too much of an influence in the end.
ReplyDeleteI had a huge quiz on Milton's Paradise Lost the other day and was asked what love was to Adam and Eve. Not having read any of the actual story I just wrote down that line from Love Story. My professor didn't appreciate it very much.
ReplyDeleteLoving this feature. If you ever need suggestions, I've got a few.
ReplyDeletei was actually wondering why you hadn't stied this movie yet!! :) love story is equally inspirational for females...i know, & have read about many women who site this movie for it's fall warbrobe style!
ReplyDeleteI just watched the movie School Ties, with Brendan Fraser, Damon & Affleck & co. Great style throughout, great examples of 1950s Ivy League and even some rockabilly/biker for a short bit at the beginning. Fairly good movie even, it's on the instant queue for Netlix users.
ReplyDeleteJesus christ dude...why don't you put every frame from the movie on here. Edit this damn feature.
ReplyDeleteAnon @12:51- If you're looking for brevity you def. came to the wrong place. I figure you can do all the editing you want at your own blog, right?
ReplyDeleteWhat, no approval of the last comment?
