      Give Hemingway a big laugh

      There is a kind of person who, I don’t know why, always looks sullen and unhappy. If you are not pleased, if you ask him, he will look at you depressed and unhappy for a long time, so if you ignore him, he will continue to look at you depressed and lifeless, sentimental as if the sadness of the whole world is all by him. One person gave an advance, and it was wetter and colder than the salty sea, and even more miserable than the deepest night. He was at a loss, like an expired Christmas tree....

      Why are you so unhappy?

      Maybe it's this kind of lazy temperament that is particularly attractive. It feels like I haven't watched such a good movie in a long time. Affleck’s tone is exactly the same as that of Slow Chester by the sea. There is laziness in depression. His brother is laziness, nurse girlfriend is laziness, the whole town is laziness, and even the children are serious and rarely show innocence. Happiness, it seems that depression and decadence are daily life, and people will sink more and more with...

      Lyrical sketches

      A lyrical essay, with a soothing rhythm, clean and neat, without fancy, is not the plot of the story, in fact it is about life. Not everyone will like it, but I like it. The reason is simple, I have seen myself in the past. The big boy with the green marching bag, running around, bumping and bumping in a foreign country, decorating his life with a certain dream, venting his dissatisfaction with life with a melancholy face, just don't want to go back to the small town Home, because there you...

      Little person = me

      The American film industry is so powerful that it has both the cultural hegemon of Hollywood and the masses of independent films. The big contrast to the clichés of horror movies is that the low-cost scenes that shoot small characters use completely different languages ​​and images, and virtually break the Hollywood illusion about America. Instead of LA and NY, the lifeless and unnamed towns, the characters are neither handsome, handsome, but also wealthless. The story may be plain and watery,...

      Jim's letter to his mother

      Dear Mom, I dont know where to start, so I'll just begin with the end and work my way back. I came home because I ran out of money and had nowhere else to go. If I'd had any other option I would have taken it. I did not consider having a place to come home to a blessing. instead, I thought of it as a burden and a symbol of failure.I'm ashamed to admit that growing up pitied you and what I thought was your naive belief that our dreams could come ture simply by virtue of having them. Because...
