The Holiday | comment |
A Christmas-themed Romantic Comedy film from 2006, written and directed by Nancy Meyers.Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) is a London journalist who's spent the last three years pining over her jerkass ex Jasper Bloom (Rufus Sewell), who's just gotten engaged. Meanwhile, Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz), who makes film trailers in Los Angeles, has just thrown out her cheating boyfriend Ethan Ebbers (Edward Burns). The women meet online and elect to swap homes for two weeks during Christmas vacation. Naturally, they meet men (and of course, men who are a part of the other woman's life). Amanda hooks up with Iris' brother Graham (Jude Law) and Iris meets Amanda's composer Miles Dumont (Jack Black) for her film trailer. Iris also begins an Intergenerational Friendship with Arthur Abbott (Eli Wallach), an elderly retired silver screen screenwriter who gives her some helpful life advice.Not to be confused with Holiday, the 1938 movie starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. | |

Cool Old Guy: Arthur Abbott - not only is he Sophisticated as Hell and still extremely sharp and witty, he's an esteemed former writer from the Hollywood Golden Age and helps Iris bring out her inner strength (which he refers to as "gumption"). He's also played by Eli Wallach, making him cool by default. | |

The Holiday / int_192ba729 | comment |
Older Is Better: Arthur Abbott, a geriatric former screenwriter of The Golden Age of Hollywood, talks often about how great Hollywood used to be compared to modern Hollywood (of 2006). The fact that the list of old films he asks Iris to watch inspire her to find gumption in her life seems to support his view. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
The Holiday / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Jasper tells Iris he bought her a Christmas present at the start of the film, but doesn't have it with him at that moment. He later unexpectedly turns up at Amanda's doorstep with said present in hand. Subverted in that though Jasper implies it's clothing, we don't find out what it is. His presence, however, and the use of said present, does lead to Iris kicking him out of her life shortly after. Arthur recommends a list of movies for Iris to watch that involve a leading lady with gumption, to try and bring out her strong personality. These contribute directly to Iris gaining the initiative and gumption to eject Jasper from her life for good. | |

The Holiday / int_4783acfa | comment |
Bait the Dog: Jasper does this to Iris twice. Double-subverted. First, he tells Iris at the beginning that he got her a Christmas present, but doesn't have it with him. He brings it to her later while she's still at Amanda's house, but that's still part of this trope, as Iris had asked him for space and he seemingly ignored her request. Another one near the end. Jasper showing up again near the end with Iris's present and saying he doesn't want to lose Iris, but is still engaged to be married to Sarah. When Jasper reveals this, Iris has had enough and literally pushes Jasper out of her life. | |

Only One Name: Two odd examples, and a third played straight. We don't find out the surnames of Miles, Ethan or Maggie. Graham's surname is not spoken, either, but as he's Iris's brother and her surname is Simpkins, his surname is mostly likely Simpkins too. The film's Wikipedia page confirms this, as well as giving Miles and Ethan the surnames of Dumont and Ebbers respectively, but neither are said inside the film, and Maggie's surname is unknown. | |

Freak Out | |
The Holiday / int_7fbe9a30 | comment |
Freak Out: On her second night in Iris's home, Amanda comes downstairs hungover and panics when she sees her bra in the kitchen, while Graham is present, and immediately thinks they had sex the night before. Graham tells her they didn't, because Amanda was drunk and passed out. Graham only stayed because Amanda asked him to (presumably to make sure she was OK). | |

Sex Equals Love: Surprisingly, it's the guy (Graham) who falls first for the girl (Amanda). Or at least he admits it first. Also surprisingly, Amanda never actually says the words in return, though her surprise return to him at the end of the film makes it clear that this time she's willing to let herself fall in love with him, and may already be most of the way there. | |

In the Blood: Graham tells Amanda the Simpkins family is in publishing. Iris works at The Daily Telegraph, Graham himself is a book editor, their father is a writer of historical fiction, and their mother is an important editor at Random House. In the same scene, Amanda points out how because Graham has, in her words, "a strong working mom", he won't be intimidated by the fact that she owns the movie trailer company. He responds that he is. | |

Foreshadowing | |
The Holiday / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: In the opening montage when we are with Amanda and Ethan in the Porsche, Iris's narration goes "For some, quite inexplicably, love fades." This sets up Ethan cheating on Amanda with his receptionist and actually Amanda wanting to go on holiday, thus switching houses with Iris and setting much of the plot in motion. Miles also ends his relationship with Maggie after she cheats on him. The next bit goes, "For others, love is simply lost." Graham is later revealed to be a widower. And then: "But then, of course, love can also be found." Yes, it can, for all four main characters. The whole opening montage introduces us to all the film's main characters, and sets up locations such as Miles's home and the pub that will appear later, including Miles and Maggie, Amanda and Ethan, Arthur, Graham, and ending with Iris and Jasper. The throwaway line from Iris's boss, "Before you rush off on holiday..." Iris later does exactly that because of the boss's subsequent announcement that Jasper is engaged. Miles tells Iris when the Santa Anas wind blows, anything can happen. This pretty much foreshadows the rest of the film for Iris, as she forms an Intergenerational Friendship with Arthur, kicks Jasper out of her life and gets together with Miles after finding out Maggie has cheated on him. During the Hanukkah party, Miles remarks on how Maggie is on location in New Mexico, working on an indie film. At these words, Arthur shoots a quick look at Iris. During the video store scene, Maggie is seen to be cheating on Miles and Miles and Iris end up together in a Last-Minute Hookup. When Maggie is apologising to Miles and begging him to take her back, his right hand is tapping the sofa cushions in a way that matches the key pattern for the theme he wrote for Iris. The next time we see him at Arthur's ceremony he reveals he dumped Maggie and asks Iris if she wants to spend New Year with him. | |

Get Out!: Amanda does this to Ethan at the start of the film, punching him in the face twice to make it blatantly clear that it's over. Near the end, Jasper turns up at Amanda's house unexpectedly. When Iris asks him if he is still engaged (he is), Iris literally pushes him out of the house and slams the door in his face. | |

Humble Hero: Arthur is a very accomplished screenwriter who's made some major contributions to classic film, even adding the famous line "here's looking at you, kid" to Casablanca, but is still very humble. Iris even notes that of the long list of classic films he gave her to check out, he wasn't involved in any. | |

Many of Iris and Miles's scenes after that are accompanied by said winds. | |

Jerkass: Jasper is a more low-key variant - not wholly unlikable on the surface at least, but he's not very considerate of Iris' feelings (attempting to continue a friendship after having cheated on her), which is emphasised by his calling her during her holiday (even after she asks for space); nor can he admit his own flaws or truly seem to decide what he wants, since in the climax he tries to restart a relationship with her despite still being engaged to Sarah. When Iris tells Arthur about him when they have dinner, Arthur calls him a schmuck. | |

Unfortunately for her, she can't hit the button to switch the lines... | |

Match Cut: Amanda swinging her legs out of Iris's bath and the ensuing splash cuts to her driving Iris's Mini through a puddle as she pulls up outside Graham's house. | |

Product Placement | |

Product Placement: When Amanda and Iris instant message, the VAIO logo is clearly displayed centre-screen, as is the Google logo on Amanda's laptop. Amanda and Iris both use BlackBerry phones. | |

Dude, She's Like in a Coma | |
The Holiday / int_f604f64b | comment |
Dude, She's Like in a Coma: Averted. After Amanda drinks too much and passes out, Graham says that they didn't have sex, because... "Call me old-fashioned, but one doesn't have sex with women who are unconscious." | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
The Holiday / int_f96f188c | comment |
Drives Like Crazy: Downplayed with Amanda the first time she drives Iris's Mini. Justified because she's not used to driving on the other side of the road, or the other side of the car. | |

Brick Joke: When Amanda is first in Iris's bathroom soon after arriving, she looks at the bath, gauges its size and remarks, "OK, that'll be interesting." It comes back later in the film where she has a bath, has a change of heart and decides to go to Graham's house. | |
