Daily Dialogue — February 11, 2020

“Her name’s Sarah Thomas.”

— Serendipity (2001), written by Marc Klein

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Taxi.

Trivia: A gap of twelve-to-fifteen years was originally intended for the time between the Jonathan and Sara’s first meeting and eventual reunion, and the characters were initially written to be in their early twenties. Audiences felt that both Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack were not ‘fresh faced’ enough to pull off early twenties in the scenes and that the time line had been too poorly established to tell that the characters met in the late 1980s. Eventually, the film was edited and establishes a seven year (according to when she lived with Minion) gap between the initial meeting of the characters, and their reunion.

Dialogue On Dialogue: A taxi ride toward the realization of Fate. Plot summary: A couple search for each other years after the night they first met, fell in love, and separated, convinced that one day they’d end up together.
