I'm not a cowboy, I'm a gigolo.

Sometimes we overestimate our role in our world. This overestimation is a double-edged sword, it can be a stumbling block that we don't recognize when we're getting in our way, or a vibrator we're masturbating with when we've got nothing.
People should have hope, there should be pursuit, and there should be paranoia.
I'm not from Taipei, not from Seoul, but I'm still very different.
Binzhou tomatoes are now 2 cents a pound, so I don't need to go to seven eleven to eat vegetarian food.
When the male protagonist sat on the bus to Miami and said to himself, the price in Miami was so much lower than in New York, and it was so easy to survive. It suddenly dawned on me that we should really like a rolling stone sometimes.

    #925 Interspersed montage super whine. The New York survival dream of the bottom people, two people who are connected by fate bring warmth to the cold reality. The sunshine in Miami is so good, let me change to an outdoor job. Hoffman's play is so good, his eyes are full of bitterness.

    Stunning on the big screen! Once again sure I really love American movies from the 60s and 70s (and some from the early 80s)! The first half of the film is a little traditional and restrained, but it gets better later, and the techniques and editing have become full of New Hollywood flavors - especially the party scene, hand-held shooting, quick editing, and disordered shots, which are real, noisy, absurd, and confused. . The avant-garde style is no less than Easy Rider. Julie's father's performance is clumsy and straightforward, which just matches the style of the film, not to mention Hoffman, which is better than many of his later works! The amazing thing is that this film basically does not have character arcs, nor does it do character excavation. It only relies on the real texture and straight narrative to make the characters move people's hearts, and it also reflects the joys and sorrows of the entire era! This kind of way, it is impossible to learn now!
