解析电影台词学地道英语：午夜巴塞罗那

在2009年第81届奥斯卡上，佩内洛普•克鲁兹凭借此片获得最佳女配角奖。故事产生在美丽的巴塞罗那，美国女孩维姬(丽贝卡•豪尔 Rebecca Hall 饰)和克里斯蒂娜(斯嘉丽•约翰逊 Scarlett Johansson 饰)在度假时认识了名声并不太好的艺术家胡安(哈维尔•巴登 Javier Bardem 饰)。性格迥异的两姐妹在第二次遇到胡安后，对胡安结伴去奥维耶多过周末的邀请，热情奔放的克里斯蒂娜一下子就爽快允许了，而即将结婚的维姬却感到深深的不安。在奥维耶多发生了让人意想不到的事件，原本应该跟胡安一夜春宵的克里斯蒂娜因病躺在床上休息，而理智的维姬却和胡安一夜风骚。当三个人再次回到巴塞罗那之后，维姬的未婚夫道格前来陪伴她，维姬的生涯好像归于宁静。而当克里斯蒂娜开始了与胡安热恋并同居的生活之时,，胡安的前妻玛丽娅(佩内洛普•克鲁兹Penélope Cruz 饰)突然浮现，这三人之间构筑起一种奇特的关系。于是在盛夏的充满浪漫气息的欧洲名城，一段幽默而又深刻的对爱的故事拉开了序幕。
