Occasionally I watched a movie "Coffee Commune" on iQIYI, and the score was not high. However, after watching it, my heart skipped a beat. The plot was quite interesting and simple. At the moment of watching it, I seemed to have an epiphany in a trance? I have nothing to do, I watched it two or three times, my mood fluctuated, and I wanted to write something--

In the late 1930s, the United States, the film capital of Los Angeles, was full of Hollywood stars, elites, and money-loving fans. Bobby, a young man from New York who was full of longing, came to seek refuge My uncle Phil, who is the most successful and powerful movie star agent in Hollywood, reluctantly accepted his poor nephew and arranged for him to do chores for him. Bobby didn't have any acquaintances or friends in Hollywood. Uncle Phil arranged for his beautiful secretary, Pooh, to walk around with Bobby and familiarize himself with the local conditions of Hollywood.

They came to Beverly Hills on Sunset Boulevard and lingered in the star mansion. When I saw the movie here, I instantly remembered the place I went to a few years ago. It is indeed classically luxurious and elegant. There are mansions and beautiful scenery everywhere.

The hero Bobby in the play is eye-opening and has a jaw-dropping feeling. The luxury of the movie stars' mansions and luxury cars makes him suffocate. But Pooh's remarks are surprising: I am happier to be a mortal! At this time, I suddenly had a feeling of admiration for Pooh in my heart, and there was actually a pure heart in the deep rich and noble world. I feel that this movie seems to be interesting, and that Bobby also seems to be impressed by the Pooh in front of him!

After browsing the mansions of the stars, Bobby asked Pooh: If you had a choice here to live forever, which one would you choose? Pooh took a deep breath and said a refreshing passage: I wouldn't choose here, I'd rather live in an apartment by the beach and be with the sea as soon as I go out. She added: To be honest, the people here are quite pitiful. They have to live in luxurious mansions to prove that they are human?

Pooh shared his past. He once came to Hollywood full of dreams, dreaming of living in such a mansion with a swimming pool and becoming a member of the upper class. And yet, as the days passed, she told Bobby with certainty: how foolish life would be if the head had not been kicked by a donkey!

Watching the movie so far, I instantly felt that Hollywood, a paradise on earth, is full of the darkest darkness in the world, and Pooh and a girl seem to be pure and unstained from the mud! Bobby is probably thinking that he, who has nothing and is poor in Hollywood, is probably worthy of a plain-hearted Pooh...

A fledgling young man Bobby who is extremely innocent, met another innocent who lives in the mud and is not stained. The Hollywood Bobby's work is laborious and boring, and the only joy in life is hanging out with Pooh, watching movies, and playing time.

After a long period of love, Bobby showed his love to Pooh, Pooh told him that he had a boyfriend. Bobby's face is depressed!

Bobby followed his uncle Phil more and more into the social circle of the Hollywood celebrity society, and saw a lot of darkness in the circle: short-sightedness, hypocrisy, and began to gradually lose his old vision and good yearning for Hollywood.

Bobby's only motivation to stay in Hollywood is to pursue his uncle's beautiful, innocent secretary, Pooh!

However, what Bobby didn't expect was that Pooh was his uncle's secret lover, and the two of them had an affair in a remote bar, dating in the corner!

Then the plot went down abruptly. It seemed that something very beautiful was about to happen to Pooh. Phil told her to divorce his wife of 25 years and prepare to marry her. Pooh's face was covered in circles, contradictions and vague fears. , seems to say: is this possible? Her heart skipped a beat at the unbelievable possibility. But all the good things came to her so realistically, and she was full of tears in Phil's affectionate kiss!

She's about to take over the pool mansion on Sunset Boulevard, and she's about to soar into the sky. If I were a woman, I wouldn't be able to do anything.

Bobby, was thrown off a few streets in this love contest of innocence, beauty and reality. However, the sister who is far away in New York encouraged the younger brother in the letter: keep going! Bobby started to persist - ran to Pooh's office to chat and offered to ask her out.

As a result, Pooh agreed to go to Bobby's house to cook together in Bobby's hot pursuit. On the evening when Pooh was about to arrive, Bobby was very excited, carefully and carefully preparing the candlelight atmosphere, putting on the purest champagne, a pair of uneasy tension, full of love and longing, in an infinitely beautiful romance, as if to say: That's what life is all about.

Bobby, who was all ready, received a call from Pooh, saying that he was suddenly unable to come. At that moment, Bobby fell from the illusion and was hit by a stick. He slumped down very lonely and poured himself a glass of champagne. What he drank must be the bitter water of his first cup of love. Who knows the taste of it? It is also known to everyone, as long as you have bravely expected and expressed it: love.

The reason why Pooh can't go to see Bobby is that Phil is dating her suddenly, Phil is about to tell him about the result of his divorce from his wife, Pooh is full of happy expectations, everything will come to the bottom, it will be done, and a new life will be opened. Now - she's no longer Phil's underground lover, but his real wife. Who is Phil? A Hollywood success story.

The plot turns again. The unexpected thing is: Phil is like a frustrated child, with a face of helplessness and frustration, he tells Pooh feebly: I can't do a divorce, we have been 25 years, we still have children, I'm sorry! Phil finally told Pooh with a look of loneliness and guilt: Let's end it!

The feeling that happened to Bobby the previous minute came to Pooh in an instant.

Pooh, who fell from the beauty in an instant, had nowhere to console her. She went directly to Bobby's room to tell her the pain and sadness of being abandoned. Pooh confides the truth about her abandonment without telling Bobby that the man who abandoned her is Phil.

Bobby wasn't so curious, he enjoyed the instant reversal. Bobby, began to accompany Pooh to heal her broken heart.

They strolled on the beach, went to the movies almost every night, and as time passed, Pooh's broken heart began to heal in Bobby's love, and they fell in love, and the romance overflowed the screen, overflowing with my lonely audience Heart, on the beach in Los Angeles, in the light music, they kissed affectionately.

Love is the answer to everything!

Soon, Bobby proposed to Pooh, and hoped Pooh would follow him to move to New York - a house in Greenwich Village, where there are poets and painters, they love each other for life, they have each other, and his brother's career (underworld) is also very good Success, my elder brother desperately needs his younger brother's help in running the nightclub... Say goodbye to this dirty and boring Hollywood entertainment circle!

Everything is so beautiful! Everything is so natural! Everything is so pleasant!

If the movie ends here, I think it will be a good experience too! The capital of desire for money, beauty and beauty, beautiful and pure love makes people sincerely admire. If the movie ends at this moment, I don't think any audience will refund their tickets and still think this movie is too good!

Pooh took a deep breath, feeling the bright future described by Bobby, her heart palpitated, Bobby kissed Pooh!

However, I hit play and found that the movie is less than halfway through here. It seems that something else will happen...

Bobby went to say goodbye to his uncle. He also heard that Phil had a situation. He came to see him. Uncle expressed his difficulties and decision: he must divorce his wife. Because my marriage is so boring and unsustainable! He had to get divorced. He found that he could not leave a lover he once loved, and that he could not live without her.

He said that he and his wife have been together for 25 years, and the wife is very good, very good! But after meeting a dreamy, angel-like woman a year ago, his soul flew out of the sky, and he found that he had started a new life.

What is extremely funny is Bobby's response: When you meet the right person, your heart knows the answer, and I have personal experience! Two men, one is old and accomplished, the other is young and handsome. They feel the same feeling in the same woman!

Phil said: Yes! That's it! Phil felt that the young nephew understood him deeply. Bobby asked uncle, does that woman still love you? Phil said, should be, the only worry is that he is much older than her.

Bobby said: In front of true love, nothing is an obstacle! In the end, Bobby helped his uncle to clear the knot in his heart, and encouraged him to be himself boldly, to get out of the guilt of divorce, and women who were abandoned for a long time would also come out. Phil finally took a deep breath and put down his worries.

When talking about Bobby, Phil asked Bobby: I heard you are going back to New York? Go back and get married or what?
Bobby said humorously: Yes, this is done, you take 10%!
Phil asked: Why?
Bobby said: Because you introduced Pooh to me and received me in Los Angeles, it is estimated that she will marry me and go back to Manhattan with me.
At this time, a melodious and swirling melody suddenly sounded in the movie. The picture was frozen on Phil's face. He was covered in a circle, and he couldn't believe what he heard. He was indeed worried that Pooh, who was abandoned by him, would have a relationship with him, but he never thought that Pooh would get along with his poor nephew Bobby.

What happens next in the plot? Go to the movies by yourself.

    [Shanghai Film Festival Screening] I was fortunate to see the Asian premiere of this film and asked the producer two questions. The movie is still very Woody Allenfan. The chatter is full of humor, sweetness, and cleverness, as well as a pile of names that fall out of a book bag. Photography and color grading are comfortable. The plot is very clichéd, but it is beautifully shot, and the ending is unexpectedly calm and warm, and it stops abruptly and has endless aftertastes. The curly hair is cute and cute, but the acting is mediocre. Corey Stoll is charming and dashing
