"Love means never having to say you are sorry". That's bull UNLESS you don't have to say you are sorry because you already know that you are forgiven.
shareLOL! I agree, More like love means saying it when you don't want to!
sharerwsmith, back at the time, even though everyone loved the movie (I did, I have thr DVD) and got all mushy and stuff at that phrase, it was really kind of silly. One should ALWAYS apologize if they have hurt another person. And the other poster says you don't have to if you are forgiven, not so. If you cause hurt to another, always apologize to let them know you are sorry.
shareIt just occurred to the the last time I saw the movie again that the statement is what mankind might want to say to God. If God really loves us, He doesn't have to force us to say we are sorry, i.e. apologize. It would be a more fitting to say between God and man than between two persons in love.
shareFor me, it makes sense; when you love someone, you should behave in such a way that you’ll never have to apologize to them. Simple.
shareExactly. I think Jenny means that when you love someone, you should never hurt them and then need to apologize. And if you exceptionnally do, it's under understandable circumstances (Oliver was really upset because of his relationship with his father, so she could take it, she knew he didn't mean it at all). It's simple, yes.
shareNo, that's not at all what Jenny meant, as it runs entirely against her presonality and behavior up to that point in the movie. She meant it literally.

Bravo!
shareThat's what I thought as well.
shareI agree. It's complete bull and love means saying your sorry anyway, forgiven or not.
In the movie, I think that line was just supposed to be a knee-jerk "Jenny-ism" (something witty or profound that Ali's character would have quipped to chastise Oliver)

RIP Lemmy Kilmister: "Born to lose, lived to win."
Families fight and say awful things sometimes. But at the bottom of it all your still family and you still love one another. Let it go. Then ask what the loved one wants for dinner.
