警告: この記事には、『休暇で出会う人々』のネタバレが含まれています。
エミリー・ヘンリーの本「休暇中に出会う人々」を楽しんだ読者は、Netflix 映画がより親密な瞬間のいくつかを和らげたことに気づいたかもしれません。さて、作者はこれらのシーンが変更された理由を説明しました。物語は、ポピー・ライトとアレックス・ニルセンが長い時間を経て再会し、彼らの友情がよりロマンチックなものに開花するまでを描いています。
映画の中でポピーとアレックスはロマンチックなシーンを一緒に演じていますが、原作ほど露骨ではありませんでした。ヘンリーは最近バラエティに対し、監督のブレット・ヘイリーが脚本通りにそのシーンを実際に撮影し、「美しく完璧だ」と評したと語った。
休暇中に出会う人々の編集とテスト上映中に、ポピーとアレックスの間の親密なシーンが映画の残りの部分と完全に一致しませんでした。特にヘンリーの原作小説を知らない視聴者にとっては、唐突に感じられた。
監督とヘンリーの会話がとても印象的でした。著者は明らかにこの特定のシーンについて強い感情を抱いており、汚名を打破しようとしていたのでそれが重要だったと説明した。しかし最終的に、彼女は信じられないほど親切で、ヘイリーにリードを任せてくれました。すべてのシーンがストーリー全体に貢献する必要があると信じていたからです。これは賢いことです。映画が突然軌道から外れて、まったく別のものになってしまったように観客に感じてほしくないのです。
正直に言うと、初めてそのシーンを見たとき、息をのむほどでした。本当に美しく仕上げられていました。私は友達全員に、それは私がこれまで目撃した中で最も強力で官能的なシーンの 1 つであり、タイタニックのような象徴的なものと同等であるとさえ言いました。それは信じられないほどリアルで、優しく、そして生々しいものだと感じました。それで、ブレット監督がいくつかのテスト上映を経て、カットすることを考え始めたとき、私は少し心配しました。どうやら、原作を読んでいない視聴者は、それが不快に感じられたようです。彼は、私個人にとっても、この本のファンにとっても、そのシーンがどれほど重要だったかを尋ねました。私は、それが重要だと思うこと、つまり偏見を打ち破るのに役立つと思うことを説明しましたが、最終的には、 それが物語に役立つ必要があると彼に言いました。私の最大の恐れは、人々を映画から引き離し、まるでまったく別のトラックに突然飛び込んだかのように、映画が切り離されたように感じさせてしまうことでした。不必要な回り道ではなく、一体化していると感じられる必要がありました。
The version of People We Meet on Vacation currently streaming on Netflix is the finished film, but Henry is hoping a director’s cut will be released in the future, allowing fans to see the original, more complete version of the intimate scene between Poppy and Alex.
“It’s just breathtaking. Everyone really went above and beyond,” she said. “It feels so genuine and heartfelt, but also incredibly sensual and romantic.”
How future movie and TV adaptations handle intimate scenes will depend on the specific story. Since each of Henry’s novels is different – not all are as steamy as People We Meet on Vacation – some adaptations might show more explicit moments, while others will use a more classic, lighthearted approach, like a simple fade to black.
It’ll be interesting to see how intimacy is portrayed across different adaptations. The tone won’t necessarily be consistent with “People We Meet on Vacation,” and even the books themselves aren’t all the same. We’re planning a range of scenes, from explicitly sensual moments to more classic, romantic fade-to-blacks. We want to cover the whole spectrum. Brett and I have even discussed the possibility of a director’s cut someday to include a particularly beautiful scene that, while tender, real, and very romantic, ultimately didn’t quite fit the overall flow of the movie. It’s a reminder that even great scenes need to serve the larger project.
In a recent interview with Variety, the director admitted that telling a friends-to-lovers story well is challenging.
Haley understands that even though fans might want the two characters to become a couple, there’s a real danger in moving from friendship to romance. He explained that once you start a romantic relationship, you can’t easily go back to just being friends.
As a total movie buff, I was really interested to hear how Haley approached filming People We Meet on Vacation. She was laser-focused on making sure Emily Bader (Poppy) and Tom Blyth (Alex) had believable chemistry – not just as friends, but as potential lovers too! She knew if that spark wasn’t there, the audience wouldn’t buy into Poppy and Alex’s whole relationship journey throughout the film, and honestly, she was right to prioritize that.
As a film fan, I find this movie really special because of its friends-to-lovers storyline – it’s a trope that’s surprisingly hard to pull off well. So many films stumble when they just rush the characters into a relationship, assuming shared affection is enough. But truly great stories understand the huge risk involved in crossing that line with a close friend; there’s no going back if it doesn’t work. For me, the key was establishing a genuine, believable friendship between Tom and Emily before any romantic feelings developed, and making sure we, as the audience, could really feel that connection.
The connection between Bader and Blyth was clear on screen, but Haley felt their romantic scene didn’t quite land, agreeing with the writer’s concerns. He explained that the scene was too intense for the overall feel of the story, and he needed to strike a balance between sensuality and tenderness.
Many romantic comedies, like When Harry Met Sally and Notting Hill, focus on the sweeter aspects of love. Haley’s adaptation of People We Meet on Vacation includes those familiar elements, but also tries to update the genre with a more sensual story that stays tasteful.
When it came to the more intimate scenes, my main concern was maintaining the right feel for the movie. I really wanted to be faithful to the spirit of the book by Emily, and we actually filmed one scene exactly as written. But honestly, it just didn’t quite fit with the overall tone of the film. It was about finding the right balance. I’m hoping to evolve this genre, and I believe romantic comedies can be genuinely sensual. I think this movie achieves that. There are classic rom-coms like When Harry Met Sally and Notting Hill that don’t rely heavily on explicit scenes, but the chemistry is still strong and it works beautifully. I kept referencing those films, and others like Jerry Maguire that inspired this one, and realized that particular scene just didn’t belong.
Ultimately, Haley is happy with how the movie turned out, especially the intimate scene between Poppy and Alex. She feels it captures the essence of the book while still working as a cohesive film.
As a longtime movie fan, what always matters to me is keeping the tone consistent, and that was my biggest concern here. We see these characters develop over time, starting as children and becoming adults, so it was crucial to strike the right balance. I really wanted to capture both the innocence and genuine connection of their love, alongside any more intimate moments. I think we achieved that – the final result feels true to the source material without jarring the overall feel of the film. There was one scene, based on something from the book, where my initial idea just didn’t quite fit, and I’m glad we adjusted it.
Even though the movie version of People We Meet on Vacation differs from the book, it’s been generally well-received. Critics gave it a 75% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences scored it at 78%.
The cast of People We Meet on Vacation features Sarah Catherine Hook, Miles Heizer, Lukas Gage, Lucien Laviscount, Alan Ruck, Molly Shannon, Jameela Jamil, and Alice Lee, in addition to Simone Bader and Zach Blyth.
People We Meet on Vacation is now streaming on Netflix.
