non-serious comments.

Not long ago, when human beings did not use lights and candles to compete with the night for the sky, sunrise and night breaks were lessons left in the blood, because in the dark there is not only fear but also life and death. The story of the night begins when human beings step into the night with the light and heat they can rely on.

The story of the night is too complicated, there is no fixed limit on the number of people, it can be a farce with multiple people, or a one-man show with one person. If someone can record it, there must be no less weird and surprising than "One Thousand and One Nights". Fortunately, Jarmusu is willing to show us how many of us have experienced similar emotional changes in a taxi on a certain night, because in this gentle night, all people are concentrated in a small public space, The hearts of people are also close to each other.

Jarmusch has never been the kind of director who is good at film shots and expressions. He is good at creating movies with some simple and allegorical stories and delicate element settings. This is the same for this movie. The temperature of the night changes with The evolutionary history of human beings has risen. We not only greedily expand our footprints in the physical environment, but also occupy everything in the time dimension, but in the era in the film, the night still has its own cold, icy barriers. It has accepted the hustle and bustle of the day, and also accepted the things that cannot exist in the day.

Equality is a standard that can never be reached, and people are striving for this to a great extent, either for themselves or for others, but in this night, to a certain extent, Jarmusch constructed an equal Space, everything is balanced, class, dreams, beliefs, nationalities and even suffering, and the rest are insignificant.

"Don't blind people wear sunglasses? Do they? I've never seen a blind person."

Everyone's joys and sorrows hide the background of their own life. Because of this, no one can fully feel the sorrows and joys of others, and those who can do this are called "sages". people, but not anymore.
