In Brooklyn, 23-year-old Eleanor (Leighton Meester) recently broke up with her failing and disloyal musician boyfriend, Dennis (Billie Joe Armstrong). In order to leave Dennis, she had to move out from his place and crash at a friend's place while working at a Brooklyn cafe. Unfortunately, Dennis refused to let go of Eleanor and confronted her at her job; Dennis' tirade cost Eleanor her job. Eleanor tried to seek family support, however, her family aren't kind to her and she decided to crash at her friend's place one last time before seeking out a temporary job. In the upper-west side of NYC, lives Reggie, a cellist and all-round genius that's bored and skeptical with life. He lives a solitary life as his parents don't have time for him and relegates caretakers to watch after him. His most recent caretaker had to leave back to Panama and Reggie's mother, Barbara, had posted an ad for a temporary sitter; Eleanor answered the call. Despite being a genius, Reggie is still treated like a child; he does his best to get around his mother's arrangements by bribing the people in his life to spread the idea that he's obedient. Upon meeting Reggie, Eleanor was touched to hear Reggie's own composition ''Like Sunday, Like Rain'' and the two struck an unlikely friendship. Nearing summer camp, Eleanor tried to get Reggie to camp, but Reggie blew it off to hang out within the city for the next six weeks. In between that time, Dennis stalked and found Eleanor, still wanting to talk and get back together, however, Eleanor made it clear the two are broken up; for Eleanor's part in breaking Dennis' guitar, he promised to get back at her, but he never came back. Some time later, while hanging at the park, Reggie realized he's in love with Eleanor and he became more fascinated with her. It was around this time that Eleanor's father became terminally ill and she had to go back upstate to see her dying father. Eleanor originally planned go away a few days to see her father, but Reggie suggested he travel with her and the two went upstate to see Eleanor's father instead. It was back in her hometown that Reggie get to see Eleanor's life and her dysfunctional family. Eleanor's sister had been working at a seedy bar, her aunt and uncle had been care-free about Eleanor's father and didn't bother to mention his poor health until seeing her. Looking after Reggie's interest and unable to stand the situation at home, Eleanor took Reggie to a hotel, to have some peace and quiet. It was there that Eleanor told Reggie how she met Dennis, the messy relations with her family, and that she nearly went to Juilliard to study the cornet. Reggie is intrigued by the fact that Eleanor can play - she explained she actually wanted to play the trumpet, but couldn't and chose the cornet instead; she never made it to Julliard due to lack of funds. Before they went to sleep, Reggie promised to write a cornet piece to include Eleanor in his single. The following day, Eleanor saw her dying father. Reggie could only watch from a distance, seeing Eleanor become very emotional over the situation. Dropping off the car she borrowed from her uncle, she was enraged at how her own uncle could be so nonchalant about the illness of his own brother. Both her uncle and aunt became defensive over the matter and Eleanor stormed out of their home, declaring she would never return and escorted Reggie back to New York. The summer is nearly gone and Reggie had formed a close bond with Eleanor, however, it's almost time for Eleanor to leave. Her job is only temporary and another sitter had arrived to look after him; Reggie has trouble accepting Eleanor's departure and wants her to stay. However, Eleanor feels the need to regroup at home and get her life back in order; they promise each other to stay in touch. Eleanor and Reggie emotionally embrace and Eleanor kisses Reggie lightly and bids him farewell. Reggie resumes his lonely, privileged life, with Eleanor on his mind. On the doorstep of Eleanor's family home, Reggie arranges a gift for Eleanor: a cornet with the revised notes to ''Like Sunday, Like Rain''. Reggie resumes playing the cello and at a distance, Eleanor plays her part. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Like Sunday, Like Rain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
