A taxi that carries a life story

Busy day people rush through their minds and exchange life stories in a quiet taxi at night

?Los Angeles

A dignified and elegant scout does have a discerning eye, and an unruly female driver wearing a wide trousers and shirt with a bunch of keys hanging from the bottom of his trousers has the heart of a repairman.

Two people with different identities and different ideas, respecting each other's pursuit, is the best ending. The looks of the two are very eye-catching, and they are also very suitable for opening.

?New York

The East German driver Helmut's amazement at the bustling New York City contrasts with the surprise of "this is New York" issued by seeing New York's filth after going the wrong way. Big cities are nothing more than that. (Perhaps the same is true for the so-called other ideology?)

He met yoyo who didn't mind his language barrier and he used to be a clown. The two chatted and joked freely, and yoyo finally told him the way back to Manhattan.

The street is lonely, the clamor in the taxi, the driver who works in another country, the moment of warmth and loneliness given by strangers, the reverse journey becomes cheerful in an instant

?Paris

equal status

The driver from Côte d'Ivoire disdains the so-called ambassador's vulgarity, but meets a blind woman who is also tough to himself.

Human superiority is always based on comparison, on the suffering of others.

The ambassador teased the driver as an "invisible man". He did not see the truth of human nature, and he did the same thing as the ambassador. Finally, the blind woman asked the driver to pay attention to the road. Perhaps it was the first time the driver met such a woman, and the car accident happened in the blink of an eye.

?Rome

This episode is very comedic. Unlimited praise for the cuteness of Bernini's babbling.

The scene of the two in circles in front of the sculpture/Bernini's bold remarks went beyond the bottom line of the priest's faith/Bernini put his eyes on the dead priest and brought him his own sunglasses//It really makes me laugh

? Helsinki

Immediate visual impression of the taxi than the miserable meeting

Sure enough, people's sense of superiority or comfort is built on the pain of others/Perhaps if you spit out your sorrow, there will be more people to share and more comfort

When the driver begins to tell his tragic story

No matter whose fate is more bumpy After arriving at the station: The second passenger walks to the middle of the road and parted ways to return to their respective lives / The passenger who was fired and his family did not recognize him stumbled out of the car and sat in front of the community, afraid to go home neighbors Silence remains after a greeting / Passenger gets out of car and closes door

The life of the four of them continues, after all, only oneself bear it

————

Taxi carries the story of life, walking at night, different people in different places

An unfamiliar but familiar experience A chance encounter seems like a secret Putting memories in their respective places

Night on Earth quotes

  • Paris Driver: I work from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., so don't fuck with me in my own taxi! I don't give a shit about you, Ambassador, OK?

    Passenger #1: Can't we have some fun?

    Passenger #2: We've had champagne and we're happy...

    Paris Driver: No, you don't have fun in my taxi! It's my place of business, not your fucking playground! Okay, get out!

  • Paris Driver: Okay, if you're so smart, let me ask you a question. What color am I?

    Blind Woman: I don't give a fuck about colors!

    Paris Driver: But people have different colors of skin.

    Blind Woman: Look, I don't care if you're green or blue like a carrot! For me the word color doesn't mean anything. I feel colors... but you'd never understand that!
