Mickey: [narrating] Coney Island, 1950's. The beach, the boardwalk. Once a luminous jewel, but growing relentlessly seedier as the tides roll in and out. Summers I work here on Bay 7. Comes the fall, I'm a student at New York University going for my Master's in European drama. I'm Mickey Rubin. Poetic by nature. I harbor dreams of being a writer. A writer of truly great plays, so I can one day surprise everyone and turn out a profound masterpiece.
Mickey: [to the camera] Anyhow. Let me get to the story in which I am a character, so, be warned, as a poet, I use symbols, and as a budding dramatist, I relish melodrama and larger-than-life characters. Enter Carolina...

Mickey: [narrating] The kid makes fires. And not such little ones. He played hooky from summer school and even made fires on the beach where it's forbidden. What the hell does the kid see when he just stares into the flames? Is it the eternal power of the universe? The conversion of mass into energy? The Furies at work? Whatever his motive, it is not appreciated.

Carolina: You've been round the world.
Mickey: Yeah, but you've been around the block. You think you'll always be looking over your shoulder?
Carolina: Everybody dies, you can't walk around thinking about it.
Mickey: You're talking to a lifeguard.

Ginny: Oh, God. Don't tell me you got me a present.
Carolina: How often do you turn 40? It's a milestone!
Ginny: It's a tombstone!

To begin with, this is a melodrama. Old man Woody is still noisy, and his anxiety about love has made people intolerable. However, in the 1950s, the movie deliberately overlapped with the British kitchen sink movie, Golden House Tears Young Woman's Resentment. The difference was that the Ferris wheel was added, and the mood was painted with color to achieve love transfer, forming a Coney Island Romance. And fire is like the disintegration of the state of love, from the deep love of the spark to the burning of jade and stone, and finally pays homage to it with fire. The script is a bit cliché, but the symbols are exhausted
