The little heroine's performance was really dazzling. Without discussing the estrangement between father and daughter in reality, the two of them really sparkle on the screen. Although the status of this film is not as good as that of the director's most important work "The Last Movie", it is full of entertainment, and a few heart-breaking plots are also touching. 90

"Paper Moon", which is converted from US dollars, reflects on the relationship between modern people and "money". The most dehumanizing aspect of capitalist society is that it can quickly cultivate and mold a flesh-and-blood person into a rational-centered person. Although she is limited in her vision and does not know where the future lies, the girl with her own rebellious spirit affirms the existential proposition of "who am I" through her language—negative sentences. He is not my father and I am not a boy-these subtexts hidden at the bottom of the cash box also represent the declaration of this extremely sensitive, good at imitating and learning, knowing what to say, and full of compassion: I am not a rationalist. . This road masterpiece that was collectively misunderstood drew the equal sign of fairness and equality between the self-cognition of the individual and the awakening of the entire human self-consciousness. The picture of the girl sitting alone on the paper moon was really a moment of Holy Inspiration. The "Langer" who was finally redeemed by the sensibility and the "Liar" who was beaten by the jurisprudence did indeed walk on the "Road" to Rome. Repayment of debts-in the eyes of Americans, this is such a natural thing.

Trixie Delight: [to Addie] You already got bone structure. When I was your age I didn't have no bone structure. Took me years to get bone structure. And don't think bone structure's not important. Nobody started to call me "Mademoiselle" until I was seventeen and getting a little bone structure. When I was your age, I was skinnier than a pole. I never thought I'd have nothin' up here.
[Pointing to her chest]
Trixie Delight: You're gonna have 'em up there too. Look, I'll tell you what. Want me to show you how to use cosmetics? Look, I'll let you put on my earrings, you're gonna see how pretty you're gonna be. And I'll show you how to make up your eyes. And your lips. And I'll see to it you get a little bra or somethin'. But, right now, you're gonna pick up your little ass up, you're gonna drop it in the back seat, you're gonna cut out the crap! You understand!
[Starts to walk away, turns around]
Trixie Delight: You're going to ruin it, ain't ya? Look, I don't wanna wipe you out. And I don't want you wipin' me out, you know. So, I'm gonna level with you, okay. Now, you see with me its just a matter of time. I don't know why, but, somehow I just don' t manage to hold on real long. So, if you wait it out a little, it'll be over, you know. I mean, even if I want a fella, somehow I manage to get it screwed up. Maybe I'll get a new pair of shoes, a nice dress, a few laughs. Times are hard. No if you fool around on the hill, up here, then you don't get nothin'. I don't get nothin'. You don't get nothin'. So, how 'bout it, honey? Just for a little while. Let ole Trixie sit up front with her big tits.
