      life after get off work is black

      "After Hours", Martin Scorsese, as a director of serious realism style, this film is rare to let go, and tells an absurd story on the premise of maintaining its own style. The protagonist of this black and absurd thriller is a man who wants to have an affair, but because of the violent atmosphere of American society, he is entangled with all kinds of people at midnight and falls into an extremely tragic situation. There are some wretched but also a little honest protagonists. At midnight, they...

      Movie screenshot

      A bit of Fellini taste but no fee. The exquisiteness and the beauty of the lens are more cold and humid. I haven’t seen a less boring movie for a long time. The normal bridges are even normal to a bit disgusting. The cold nerves inside are even distracting. I’m a little fascinated because I watched a movie because of a song. The icy absurdity of a nightwalker in this world is really different from the day. It’s like a sleepwalking like an illusion. The background music is very fascinating....

      weird neighborhood

      It's so weird. He came across a slut who said he had been raped and had a book with disgusting pictures in his bag. He suspected it was a scam and left her house quickly. Because the plaster sculpture was sent back to find that the slut was dead, the people I met on the road were weird, like lunatics, and all the people in the block wanted to keep him and not let him go. This really drives people crazy. Then a woman saved him from being chased by everyone, trapped him in a plaster and prevented...

      "After get off work": Life is just an absurd journey


      Many movies cannot be generalized or described. In fact, when you think about it, the movie itself does not need to be generalized or described. The reflection of emotions or characters in the movie itself is the luminescence of the audience's hearts. When the audience is enjoying the movie, it is so in their hearts, and when they start to talk about the movie, it is still the same. I often say that watching movies is a very personal matter. In fact, it is true. The divorce and absurdity...

      Impatience in the Information Age

      The 1985 American film,

      an anti-plot absurd comedy, is really absurd.
      Everything happened so coincidental, as if all the bad things were hit by one person. This is the embodiment of this anti-plot movie.
      Talk about all the bad things that happened to the protagonist Paul overnight.

      The protagonist Paul met a woman because of a coincidence, and thought that woman could have a shot with him. This woman quarreled with her boyfriend, she had a lot to say to others, and...

      Every time I wake up from this kind of dream, I think that it must be made into a movie, and I feel that I live in a double time line inside and outside the dream. Thanks to Lao Ma for perfectly visualizing the mood and atmosphere in such a dream....

      #smallbudgetmovie#1. This film presents a pivotal moment in Martin Scorsese's career. The increasingly commercialized Hollywood of the 1980s made it difficult for him and some directors to continue the highly stylized and personal films of the 1970s, so he decided to: switch from aesthetic art back to very low-cost, simplified live-action shooting film production in order to sustain his film creations despite insufficient funding. 2. A neurotic night owl who roams the night world of New York....

      1. From a romance film to a thriller to a black humor film, the smoothness of this film is rarely seen in Martin's work. 2. Over the course of one night, I experienced from looking for an affair, encountering strange coffee, and rising prices on the subway. Losing money, witnessing suicide, murdering, stealing, to being stolen, being chased, being shaved, from witnessing a sculpture, witnessing a sculpture, to being sculptured, and being sent back to the office by the sculpture.The protagonist...

    Movie quotes

    • Marcy: My husband was a movie freak. Actually, he was particularly obsessed with one movie, "The Wizard of Oz." He talked about it constantly. I thought it was cute at first. On our wedding night, I was a virgin. When we made love - you've seen the movie, haven't you?

      Paul Hackett: "The Wizard of Oz"? Yeah, I've seen it.

      Marcy: Well, when we made love, whenever he - you know, when he came, he would just - scream out, "Surrender Dorothy!" That's all! Just "Surrender Dorothy!"

      Paul Hackett: Wow.

      Marcy: I know. Instead of moaning or saying, "Oh, God" or something normal like that. I mean, it was pretty creepy! And I told him I thought so, but he just, he just couldn't stop, he just, he just couldn't stop, he just... couldn't stop.

    • Paul Hackett: Wow, I'm sorry. I guess I'm really puttin' you through the mill tonight, huh?

      Marcy: It's okay, I'm used to it.

    • Paul Hackett: So, how 'bout that joint?

      Marcy: Yeah. Good idea.

      [Marcy gives Paul a joint]

      Paul Hackett: What type of pot is this?

      Marcy: It's Colombian.

      Paul Hackett: That's a lie.

      Marcy: What?

      Paul Hackett: This isn't Colombian. I don't even think it's pot.

      Marcy: That's what the guy who sold it to me said it was.

      Paul Hackett: Well, the guy who sold it to you is a liar. So are you. That's shit.

      Marcy: Don't get upset, I just won't buy it from him anymore.

      Paul Hackett: That's horse shit.

      Marcy: Are you alright?

      Paul Hackett: Where are those Plaster of Paris paperweights, anyway? I mean, that's what I came down here for in the first place. Well, that's not entirely true, I came to see you, but where are the paperweights? That's what I wanna see now!

      Marcy: What's the matter?

      Paul Hackett: I said I wanna see a Plaster of Paris bagel and cream cheese paperweight, now cough it up.

      Marcy: Right now?

      Paul Hackett: Yes, right now!

      Marcy: They're in Kiki's bedroom.

      Paul Hackett: Then get 'em, cause as we sit here chatting, there are important papers flying rampant around my apartment cause I don't have *anything* to hold them down with!

      Marcy: Fine.
