earth night

Huge airport, hesitantly blowing Boeing 747
smoke rings to silence the noise, one by one passed away
in Los Angeles, it is not difficult to make a name for yourself

People's artist who fled from East Germany, a clown
with a ridiculous name, working hard to learn American language
freedom And the New York instrument, the eloquent, rude,

chattering diplomat of a small country, who finally angered
the poor who swallowed his voice; the young blind woman
walking along the canal, beating the wind in Paris,

the priest who worked overtime, had no heart to listen to the gospel of God
and a rascal Confession: He has raped
pumpkins, sheep, sisters-in-law, and dying

drunk people, naturally there is sadness in his deep throat
, but it is unemployment, debt, the death of a loved one,
or someone with a knife, and there is no way out

One half of the old oranges, caged in the shadows, Nanjing seems to
be intoxicated by the spring breeze, and a few dollars of night cold
scratches people's bones, like a deserted country grave...

    See 5 different cities and hear 5 different stories in the taxi driver's car. It is basically a mobile version of the "late night canteen", and in Jarmusch's taxi, there is no deliberate preaching, but a story and an encounter scattered in different corners of the world at a random point in time are presented to him. The audience, let the audience feel and comprehend the people and customs of different regions from these life fragments.

    Unexpectedly, the first Jiamusu, I liked it very much unexpectedly. It is strange that he is always the image of a strong and rebellious teenager in my heart, and it is almost rare this year. The stories of five different cities have their own highlights and are all impressive. Angel City tomboy Winona, New York's East German stranger donning a clown's nose, Paris' blind woman, Rome's chattering Bernini cursing and confessing, and Helsinki's Marty Perumpa is a reasonable surprise.
