“It's funny business, a woman's career. The things you drop on your way up on the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you'll need them again when you get back to being a woman. That's one career all females have in common, weather we like it or not.

Being a woman, sooner or later we've got to work at it. No matter how many orther careers we've had or wanted. And in the last analysis, nothing's any good unless you can look up just before dinner or turn around in bed, and there he is. Without that, you are not a woman.

Slow certain. The end.”

剧情看起来很有趣。
Set on a long-haul flight where the entertainment system fails, the film will see passengers forced to face the horror of being bored. In preparing the movie, the Swedish filmmaker was inspired by a social psychological study at Virginia University called ‘The Challenge Of The Disengaged Mind.’ The experiment found that participants did not enjoy spending 6 to 15 minutes in a room by themselves with nothing to do but think. To take the experiment one step further, the researchers added a twist: With the touch of a button, the test subjects could, if desired, give themselves a harmless but very painful electric shock. It turned out that a quarter of all women and two-thirds of all men chose to press the button. One man even found being alone with his thoughts so unbearable that, during the 15 minutes, he gave himself 190 electric shocks.
