We are also that Frances Ha

"This should be a new film, right?" My first reaction when watching this film, because the whole film uses black and white effects, makes me feel like the 40s and 60s, but it's not the case. The protagonist of this story lives in the same place as us. New Era.
Frances has a friend who is very important to her, Sophie. At the beginning of the film, the two BF's shared "madmen", smoking outside the house, reading books together, urinating on the subway, and eating together, in a completely co-produced girlfriend mode. Fran's feelings for Sophie even made her break up with her boyfriend. Because she didn't want to be separated from Sophie, she refused to move in with her boyfriend. On the day of the breakup, she accepted the pursuit of a new boy.
fran is an undateable, when dating and talking to people, she can't always reach a rhythm and fusion point with others, not only her thoughts are too wild or she just pays attention to her own world. When she was talking to other people over dinner, I was worried about her offscreen. The boy who was originally interested in her (this man is very careless and often changes friends), just finished eating, and said that I will not sleep with you. There was also a scene where she had dinner with her friend who lived temporarily. The meal was only embarrassing, but it seemed that Fran hadn't noticed much, and even "cheeky" asked for the key to someone else's house in Paris. Even when she couldn't even pay the rent, she went to Paris for a weekend! (Big sister, how expensive is the plane ticket, and when you get to Paris, you walk around a lot, and you actually sleep in the middle of the afternoon!!! Are you not rich? Are you poor?!!) After returning to the United States, they gave you a copy that they thought was suitable for you. Just accept the job you want. I don’t know what else to dislike. Do you have a job? ! In the end, he returned to his university and became a dormitory.
Throughout the film, Frances was "betrayed" by a friend, was fired, was said to be old, and his life was a mess. Indeed, I sighed. Sister, you are already 27, can you be more reliable! She seemed to be at peace with all this happening, but when her best friend Sophie confided in her that her life wasn't perfect, she returned to New York, accepted the position that suited her, and lived a normal life.
Looking at these heartless, stupid, reckless, and incapable of chatting faces, isn't it just like us who were still naive back then or now? We are heartbroken for our best friends, we don't understand what other people think, we have no purpose in life, we don't know who we really love, we don't know what we want in the future, we're slacking off every day, we're in it all Find what we want in it, and we live in it all.

At the end of the film, Frances happily put his name in the mailbox in his own apartment, even if the name is only one HA, he is happy and satisfied at that moment.

    Stumbled to withdraw money for dinner, and hesitated because of the three-dollar handling fee, this is us, clumsy and sincere, solid girls who never grow up
