“I Am, As Ever, In Bewildered Awe Of Anyone Who Can Make This Kind Of Commitment.”
Charles begins the film by outing himself as somewhat of a hopeless romanticist . His very admittance , in his best man spoken language , that he ca n’t conceive of committing to someone in the way that the newlywed are , is colour with longing .
This makes it clear that he does , in fact , secretly desire such a link and that his read " bewilderment " is in reality a form of respect .
“I Think We’re Both Missing An Opportunity Here.”
Carrie leaves Charles with these last words before she exit their hotel elbow room the dawning after log Z’s together . The fact that she has to return to America that morning lends her the easy chance to contemplate on the realism that she does actually wish Charles , something that people do n’t always share with one another in the modal morning - after instance .
In her doing so , she lends some substance and discernment to an fundamental interaction that is often cover as if void of any emotion .
“I Wish I’d Rung You. But Then, You Didn’t Ring Me.”
Charles picture Carrie for the last time before he will see her married to another valet . After she lists off all of the citizenry she has slept with in life history , he realizes that he came right before her husband - to - be .
This causes him to reflect upon the fact that , if only he had foretell her , maybe he would be that man - but then again , as most people run to block in romance , it aim two . She could have called him too , but did n’t .
“I Think I Love You.”
Charles puts his touch on the seam in a classic rom - com setting , which fee-tail him suddenly smash into the street to chase the fair sex he bed .
The two , as far as spectator can tell apart , do n’t really know each other all that well - but Charles is fixate , and sleep together that Carrie will be married soon , takes this one last opportunity to make open his feelings for her so that at least he love he tried .
“You, Charlie. It’s Always Been You.”
The Fiona and Charles storyline is one of the most poignant in the movie , and perhaps the most relatable . Fiona is a beautiful , fascinating person .
By all counts , one would think Charles should fancy her . And yet , he does n’t . Fiona ’s love for Charles goes unrequited , even when she comes clean to him about it . This example exemplifies the fact that rejection is not a reflection of one ’s worth - after all , when considering the love triangle , many viewers would favour Fiona to Carrie any day .
“Nothing Either Of Us Can Do On This One. Such Is Life.”
Once again rack up on the tragical situation between Fiona and Charles , this quotation comes from Fiona , who gracefully manage the final trueness that Charles does n’t have feelings for her beyond those of friendly honey .
Instead of taking it to mettle , Fiona keeps her self - worth intact , wisely recognise that it ’s a fact of life that sometimes people plainly are n’t a friction match - and it ’s beautiful to see how this does n’t destroy their friendly relationship .
“He Was My North, My South, My East, My West.”
This crease comes from the D.W. Auden poem " Funeral Blues " that is so splendidly make out for being used in the movie during the heart - breaking funeral conniption .
Matthew , unable to find his own words to delineate his feelings upon losing Gareth , turns to the words of the poet instead , mouth the lines of a verse form that share the uttermost heartache one feels when finding the world empty of the person they loved .
“All These Years We Were Single And Proud Of It, Two Of Us Were, For All Intents And Purposes, Married.”
Charles advert upon the beautiful romanticism shared between Gareth and Matthew . His recognition hits upon several important point , one of the frontmost being that while the straight friends of the group were openly discussing their love lives for years , Gareth and Matthew lived accustomed to gibe into a heterosexual ambience where their own love kick the bucket under - appreciated by their friends .
The inverted comma foreground the iniquity of this , but also emphasizes that there are different manner to expend a living in loving devotion to someone .
“Surely If That Service Shows Anything, It’s That There Is Such A Thing As A Perfect Match.”
Charles spent most of the film shin with the idea that he will never receive someone who is right for him . He refuses to take that he could marry someone who he is n’t deadly in love with , and so haunt to the depressing alternative that he will likely spend life alone .
Gareth ’s funeral , however , wakes him up to the fact that while he was obsessing over whether true love is real , it was gaze him in the face all along in the class of two of his good friends . This minute gives Gareth and Matthew ’s human relationship the credit it deserve .
“Be Happy And Don’t Forget Us.”
What is consider of as " wild-eyed making love " often start out more attention than the love share between friends , but it ’s moot that the dearest in friendship is one of the most important in people ’s life - and not completely unromantic in nature , either . There is a love story to the special moments share between closelipped friends , to the attention given to another mortal , and to the rituals people form together .
The celluloid follow one humankind ’s search for a better half , but upon tightlipped review , the moving-picture show is , above all else , a report about a group of very close protagonist who love each other dear , standing by each other in their individual searches for romanticism , while also hoping to remember the particular bond they partake .
