1. I didn't get Masina when I watched "The Great Road". I fell in love with her when I watched this film. She is an elf and the only variable in ordinary life;

2. The heroine and her friends always ask the men who approach them: "What do you want from me?" This is the after-effect of the constant mental and physical violence. Once they choose to believe in love again, they will choose to cheat and betray again;

3. “We can all pretend to be cynical or scheming, but the mask of hypocrisy falls when we are confronted with something pure and innocent.” “There will still be someone who understands you among those who mock you , understand you, appreciate you."

4. Think of "That's Life" by Frank Sinatra "That's life and I can't deny it Many times I thought of cutting out but my heart won't buy it Give up, but don't compromise But if there's nothing shaking come this here July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die

5. Memorize three classic scenes: church prayer, theater hypnosis, and dance rebirth. If you want to create a meaningful literary and artistic work, it is best not to try to instill values, but to dig deeply into human nature.
