Five separate stories in the nights of different cities in five countries. The mutual attraction experienced by taxi drivers and passengers. People can rationally clarify their thinking through psychological analysis. My career planning is a psychological analysis of myself, which is an adjustment to my mental health. It is also a treatment for loss and belonging. Movies allow ordinary people to spy on other people's privacy, such as the fourth story, the Roman driver and the priest, the confession. Movies can delicately reflect interpersonal relationships, people’s psychological dynamics, and penetrate deep into people’s subconscious. Pain comes from the badness of interpersonal relationships, others are hell, and others are the constraints of self-consciousness; others create rules, experiences, and shackles; these conscious or unconscious behaviors It causes obstruction, harm, and predicament to the main body's thinking growth. Thought is lonely, and only lonely thinking can find the path of self-consciousness towards freedom. The driver nags the priest to death and discards it. Racial discrimination in New York, more than a dozen taxis pass through, but they cannot be stopped. It is more about the exclusion of black people by the American social system. Foreigner, you live alone in America, and you can't find a sense of belonging at any time. These two types of people will feel comforted and help each other together. The degree of vision can cause people to judge the blind spot of others. The blind spot of vision is a constraint, and the hearing, smell, touch, perception and perceptualness will be stronger. These are two extremes. I haven't seen a blind man, haven't I?" The black man asked the blind man, you guess my skin color, I can't tell the skin color, and the color has no meaning to me. Can't see does not mean can't see in my heart, even if I close my eyes forever, I can still see your desire and soul. Helsinki, when I face to accept what I gave up before, I can only look back with helpless remorse. Loneliness runs through five stories, each with a serious and sad theme. The movie camera travels all over the world, every country is the same, the same people have the same broken things, and they are born to walk on the edge and have to bear life. It was dawn, and Jiamusu Guangying finished his speech, welcoming the next day.

    At the end, we have learned no great lessons and arrived at no thrilling conclusions, but we have shared the community of the night, when people are unbuttoned and vulnerable - more ready to speak about what's really on their minds.

    "Earth Night" is Jarmusch's version of "Taxi Driver". Favorite Brooklyn night! Poke in the laughter, cute and embarrassing......
