somewhere

At first I saw Johnny driving his sports car bored in circles around the clearing, and I thought his life was like that clearing, dark and lifeless. His life is like his expression, without any vitality, rather than saying that he is alive, it is better to say that his living is to reflect that he is a living organism. Until his daughter appeared, in fact, his daughter seemed a little helpless to live like him. A girl can't get the love of her father and mother at the same time in her life, and she is always worried. Whether her parents will never care about her that day, her birth was just an accident. The expressions of the two of them are always so flat, but there is so much pain under that flatness, maybe they don't realize, or don't want to make themselves aware of how miserable they are. However, their life together made them feel intimate and warm. In the end, Johnny's remorse, whatever happens to him after that, is enough for me.
I like the low-key, low-pitchedness of the movie, and the stories told seem to be so boring, but seeing them snuggle together, full of emotional stories, always touches my true feelings.

Somewhere quotes

  • Johnny Marco: What's that book about again?

    Cleo: It's about this girl that's in love with this guy. But he's a vampire, and his whole family's vampires. So she can't really be with him.

    Johnny Marco: Why doesn't she become one too?

    Cleo: doesn't she become one too? Cleo: Because she can't. He doesn't want to turn her into a vampire. And if she gets too close to him, he won't be able to help himself.

    Johnny Marco: Oh, man.

  • Johnny Marco: Whoa! What the fuck, dude?

    Ron the Masseur: Oh. Did they not tell you how I work?

    Johnny Marco: No.

    Ron the Masseur: I have a website that explains my technique. I feel that if my client's naked, it's just more comfortable if I meet them at the same level.

    Johnny Marco: Yeah, it's - it's not for me. Thanks, though. Why don't you just pack it up.

    Ron the Masseur: Alright.

    Ron the Masseur: [after putting his clothes back on] S'sorry about that.

    Johnny Marco: Nah, it's cool.
