The biggest difference from watching movies in China is that except for me and my colleagues in the theater, everyone else is elderly.
In the past three months, I spent almost every day in the theater, guarding the canteen, performing at a fixed time every day, and facing a steady number of audiences. However, in this small theater in this small performing arts town in the middle of the United States, I saw many more elderly people than I saw in the country.
They are the audience who came to see the performance, the cleaners and ticketing agents in the theater, and the clerks in the post office... They are traveling, cleaning, selling tickets, and working...
Some of the pictures are too unique and I often think of them.
For example, when we went to the bank once, Robin, who has always been enthusiastic about us, was teaching an old grandma how to operate online banking. When she saw the old grandma sitting at the counter with her, I guessed it was training, which was the truth, because later I When we went again, the grandmother began to receive us.
Another time I was sitting in a car waiting to turn right into an intersection. There was a very old car parked at the intersection. I thought it was broken and was thrown aside. From my perspective, I didn’t notice that there was someone in the driver’s seat. of. It wasn't until the car passed by it that he was surprised to see the owner's true face. He hunched his back like a skeleton holding the steering wheel, but still skillfully checked the vehicles at the intersection.
Later, at the entrance of this movie theater, I also saw two elderly female girlfriends with gray hair coming out of the driver and passenger seats of the car respectively.
Just last night, the small town ushered in the long-lost heavy rain. At about 10:30, when we were about to close the door, a car drove to the entrance of the theater. The old man got out of the car and said that his girlfriend was missing. We hurried to search for the bathroom. But there was no gain. After a long time of anxiety, the old man realized that he had found the wrong theater, so he drove into the rainy night and rushed to another destination.
There are too many stories like this, and these are all healthy old people.
I have seen such a sentence before, the general idea is to judge the civilization level of a city, you can see if there are many elderly people and disabled people on the street...
Walmart offers shopping carts for people with reduced mobility that can be sat on and driven away, and the usual shopping carts are easy to turn around between shelves. Our theatres also have spacious wheelchairs which are very heavily used.
In addition to hardware facilities, people's patience is also very necessary.
As a foreigner cashier, I have been struggling to distinguish four types of coins for several months, and I am a little bit in a hurry when there are many people. Fortunately, my customers at least seem to be very friendly, not noisy or in a hurry.
Even the thing about walking is that our group made in China walks fast.
Based on the above superficial understanding, this film reminds me that it is not a curious story for this country. It's just that the charming old man of the style of a gentleman broke into an online fashion shopping company and mixed with the Diaosi Men Gang to become the best friend of the founder of the beauty and find a lover again, making it more like an elderly version of a fairy tale.
