Excerpt: 50 First Dates is a 2004 American romantic comedy film directed by Peter Segal and written by George Wing. The film stars Adam Sandler as a woman-chasing veterinarian and Drew Barrymore as an amnesiac, along with Rob Schneider, Sean Astin, Lusia Strus, Blake Clark, and Dan Aykroyd. Most of the film was shot on location in Oahu, Hawaii on the Windward side and the North Shore. Sandler and Barrymore won an MTV award. This is the second of their two films to date as costars, the first being The Wedding Singer. The fictitious memory impairment suffered by Barrymore's character, Goldfield's Syndrome, is similar to short term memory loss and Anterograde amnesia.

アダム・サンドラー率いるハッピー・マディソン作品群は、荒唐無稽なコメディの皮を被りつつ、その深層には「他者への無条件の肯定」という極めて純粋なテーマを秘めています。本書が紐解くのは、忘却や孤独を抱えた不器用な者たちが、愛と友情によって自己を再生させる、泥臭くも高潔な魂の遍歴です。 映像版が放つ爆発的な笑いに対し、テキストによる解説は物語の構造を浮き彫りにし、作品に流れる切実な抒情性を再発見させます。映画の動的な体温と、文字による冷静な分析が共鳴したとき、単なる娯楽を超えた「不完全な人間への賛歌」という真価が立ち上がるのです。両メディアを往来し、魂を震わせる人間愛の真髄に触れてください。
