Warm to the left, pretending to be to the right

I have watched too many pretending, artificial, hypocritical, and sophisticated movies for a long time. I thought I had begun to become immune to things like movies, but suddenly I watched "New Year's Eve" and I was still moved by the little ones. . We have to admit that there are excellent films every year, and there are very few in recent years, not in the mainland.
Even with "inferior" star-numbered movies like "New", Hollywood does better than China. If the ideology is promoted, it will not be as explicit as "Jianguo Pseudo Industry".
Watching the movie "New", we can completely abandon the cumbersome and obscure Dai Jinhua's style, from the perspectives of anthropology, sociology, this study, and that study (there is no disrespect for Teacher Dai Jinhua, but we have been watching her recently. The book, it hurts to read...) Analyze the movie. It can be non-academic, non-obscure, without considering semiotics, without considering any metaphors, and watch a movie happily.
Alone, at night, quietly, in a dark environment, let the plot of "New" take you around the excitement before the coming of the new year, appreciate the distress in everyone’s life, and fully realize that you are unhappy and others live. It's not a good reason. Watching the stars in the play go through a series of life trivialities and finally find a solution. In reality, the self in reality can also be cultivated into a righteous fruit after experiencing all kinds of hardships, and finally embrace the beauty/male return. .
There are constant climaxes in the film, one after another, and multiple clues are intertwined, and finally converge in Times Square. After the countdown to the new year, past is the past, a new year and a new beginning, happiness-is the ultimate truth we seek.
Although Claire Morgan's speech is a bit too "reader", and a little bit more inspirational, it will not affect the general mood of the audience after all. Happy New Year is good.

New Year's Eve quotes

  • Sam: Sometimes it feels like there are so many things in this world we can't control. Earthquakes, floods, reality shows... But it's important to remember the things that we can. Like forgiveness, second chances, fresh starts... Because the one thing that turns the world from the longing place to a beautiful place... is love. Love and any of its forms. Love gives us hope... Hope for the New Year. That's what New Year's Eve is to me. Hope and a great party!
