    "Being around Meadow was like being in New York City. It made you want to find life, not hide from it." That's remembering Lola...

    I saw a short comment with a lot of likes: "The villa scene reflects that the director's ability to understand the structure of space is equal to 0." It is really hard to say that the advantage is a disadvantage. The director does not have low understanding ability, but intentionally replaces the rigid spatial structure with spatial atmosphere. With the shallow depth of field lens, it not only gathers the energy of the actors, but also creates an interesting sense of space. It is not good to be...

    It's too tiring to be a human with tears in my eyes forever, so I'll just continue to be an old man who isn't cool...

    She made rich fat women less fat, rich stupid kids less stupid, and rich frustrated men less frustrated. But she really wanted to be those people, fat, stupid, frustrated, and rich. But she was much better than those people, she was the bonfire, they were just matches. She is the last cowboy in the world, full of romance and...

    7.0 Baumbach's script is based on a vulgar and false middle-class tone and taste, but the audience will gradually ignore this as the plot develops. The climax of the set of scenes at Dylan's house is quite Woody Allen's. I feel that the production of the film can only be said to be so-so, and the recording is obviously not well done. After reading several works, I feel that Nombach is a typical director who cannot escape his extreme...

    Another Noah and Greta movie about - to borrow Brooke's words, "depressing and young". But in the end, "depressing and young" is both curse and privilege, so whether it's this one or Frances Ha, everyone felt that they saw themselves, and the problem was not solved, but after reading it, there was more...

    A beautiful woman full of dreams and a calm and realistic society, the movie is very real, unlike most inspirational chicken soup, only a few people are truly successful, and mediocrity is the normal state of most...

    3.5 Becoming a writer's standard female literary youth ideal gives young girls the right and motivation to enter other people's lives to intercept emotional fragments, and Greta Gerwig's character attitude represents the perfect incarnation of young New Yorkers by herself. It's funny, but it's still too sweet. However, Noah Baumbach is still a good writer in writing women's friendship, which is very distinctive. Literary nerd must...

    Tracy: [narrating] Meadow had made rich fat women less fat, and rich stupid kids less stupid, and lame rich men less lame. And she wanted so badly to be on the other side... to be fat and stupid and lame and rich. But what she couldn't see most of all, more than she couldn't see that she was never going to get the restaurant, was that those people were *nothing* compared to her. They were matches to her bonfire. She was the last cowboy, all romance and failure. The world was changing, and her kind didn't have anywhere to go. Being a beacon of hope for lesser people... is a lonely business.

  • Tracy: It was clear that the thing that Meadow wanted most in the world, the thing that she wanted to define her, to give her a place to put her time and talents, her everything, the restaurant, it was clear that it will never happen. The most surprising thing was that Meadow was actually surprised by it. She could see the world with painful accuracy, but she couldn't see herself or her fate. And because I was in love with her I decided I couldn't see it either.
