“On a Moonstruck” A masterpiece that has become a treasure trove of famous lines, “Even if we burn in the fires of Inferno, our hope is to love each other.”

The cynical and playful dialogue also contributes to the pacing of the film.

At the beginning of ``On a Moonstruck'', Cosmo, the father who learns that Loretta has been proposed to, wakes up his sleeping wife Rose. That interaction is unique.

Cosmo: "Wake up"

Rose: “Who died?”

Wake up suddenly. In other words, they instantly realize that it is sudden news. Although the lines themselves are serious, the lightness with which they are exchanged gives it a sense of humor. This feeling is at the core of ``On a Moonstruck.''

Loretta's mother Rose gives her the following advice when her childhood friend Johnny proposes marriage.

Rose: “Do you love him?”

Loretta: “No.”

Rose: "That's good. Once you love, it's the end. You'll be at the mercy of a man."

Anyway, there are many famous lines in the scenes where Rose appears, and there is a conversation like this with Johnny, who proposed to Loretta.

Rose: “Why do men chase women?”

Johnny: "God took a man's rib and created a woman. I want to get that back. A man is looking for someone who has what he lacks in his heart."

In addition, the whole story is a treasure trove of famous lines, some cynical, some playful, some philosophical. These elements form the overall light tempo of ``On a Moonstruck.''

The climax of the film is in the kitchen, where the dialogue between the characters reaches its highest level, and director Norman Jewison confessed that this scene was the one he had the most trouble directing, with the timing of dialogue and people coming and going. The timing of conversations and periods of silence are perfect. At the moment when everyone's thoughts are mixed and the conversation comes to an awkward halt, Loretta's grandfather blurts out.

“Can someone tell me a joke?”

The timing of this somewhat shocking line is also frighteningly accurate.

Romantic lines uttered by Nico Kay, who later became a Kaiyu star.
