"Anything will do" - this is the New York

text \Little yumiko


When you mention New York, we will think of the temptation of the world's largest city, a world-class city, just like Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Culture, but also mixed with the blending of various cultures. The first time I learned about New York City was the classic TV series "Beijing People in New York" when I was a child, which made me know that there is a city in the West that is worth fighting for. What will be the living conditions of the people living in this city? Will their world outlook, outlook on life, and values ​​be sublimated with the prosperity of the city? This movie is a personal comedy, wanton teasing about love, teasing or Talk about provoking men and women who are watching movies and have serious morals and spiritual cleanliness.

An old man who is full of resentment towards the world. He has Christianity and Marxist beliefs, which makes him care about others. The candidate nominated by Nobil has to argue with children even when they play chess. He returned to New York from Europe after divorce. Living a life of isolation, his life consists of discussing life, sex, and love with a few friends in a coffee shop. It's so simple, but he can't always find a bosom friend, so he has endless scruples and annoying arguments. Boris thinks that he is an extremely smart person, but he is surrounded by a group of vulgar rats, and he does not understand his "big ambition" at all.

The appearance of Ann, a 21-year-old southern girl, turned Boris's life upside down! The love between an old man and a young girl is destined to not last long. The old man has too much life experience, and the young girl has no social experience. When they complement each other, the spark of love will inevitably be very strong, but when the young girl matures, he will not experience it. The temptation of young handsome guys will definitely leave. Love is not clear, it may be fleeting, and even a beautiful love will die one day. Everyone is dreaming of the person they want in the month. If we don't have that chance, will we really not get the love we want, then what a great regret we will have in our life. Fortunately, everyone in the film has found a sincere love. Even if some of them are unacceptable to ordinary people, our own happiness is the most important thing. In a city with a big promise, we seem to feel our own insignificance and worthless. , but when we get what we really want, we show our own worth. It's like Ann's mother found her worth and became a bohemian artist.

Like the hero in the movie said, I used to hate the new year, everyone was having fun like crazy, they celebrated the new year in a pitiful and boring way. What to celebrate? Celebrating one step closer to the grave? It's the new year that gives me less and less opportunity to speak, no matter how much love you can get and give. No matter what kind of happiness you can obtain and provide, in every brief moment, anything is possible. Indeed, in fact, we are the most optimistic in this world. When we are getting old year by year, we still accept it with a smile on our face. When Huahao is gone, we still smile. Our life is actually It is in this seemingly insipid time that there is passion.

The huge city, the small us, the hardships to find, and the late meeting. When we meet countless times and pass by, we face it calmly, believing that life will give us a good answer, no matter what, in this international metropolis, we can see life more clearly significance.
