The roaring traffic's boom, Silence in my lonely room.

The film is still the story structure that Woody Allen has always liked to use. It uses a branch line that looks like the main line to open the plot, and collides with a gap in the accumulation of contradictions, which is the real main line. The parallel stories on the other side are automatically downgraded to contrast and supplementary ones Branch, very interesting.
The male protagonist's character setting is still a person who has "searching for the romantic dream of the past era". He walks into a fork in the road alone, takes an adventure like an exploration game copy, and opens up surprising encounters. Also, not all men can be called Gatsby, can they.
Ashley has been pursuing progress, maybe she really wants to achieve a great career in the media circle, (such as "the first college student to win the Pulitzer Prize"), but her professionalism is really doubtful, it is better to say Interviews are just a cover that just happens to be used. Directors, screenwriters, and stars don't really care about the questions she asks and her "unique vision" of film art, but simply adore her beauty (or, as Gatsby puts it, "mental, emotional, physical") and expect " Further development", no one will really believe Roland's nonsense about "muse" and "orange trees".
Ashley's superficiality also gives us more opportunities to observe whether Gatsby has connotations. This top smart gambler has an unruly personality, a clear mind and a clever disguise. Instead, he is less material than spiritual. A person (or maybe because he has no worries). This gambler, who regards his girlfriend as his lifelong partner, was worried at the poker game that he would become helpless. Although he made money, he did not smile at all. When he stopped pursuing it under a kind of patient tolerance, he and Ashley The conversation on the carriage gave him a fatal blow, and Gatsby, who was hesitant and distressed, was so decisive, and he still insisted on his inner pursuit.
The temperament of a person is an accurate reflection of the temperament of a city. Gatsby and Chen have more common knowledge and understanding of New York, where they have lived for a long time. Just talking about a certain place or a certain moment has infinite topics. The city's infiltration and shaping of people's characters also stems from the emotional foundation of the old acquaintances of the two. And these are obviously things that Ashley, a girl from Arizona, cannot understand or empathize with. The natural rift eventually cut off the short-lived and fragile love connection between her and Gatsby. No regrets, I am afraid it is a hidden thunder that will explode sooner or later.
I swear I didn't find out he was Jude Law until screenwriter Ted confronted his cheating wife, the receding hairline made me ignore his face for a while, I'm guilty, he's really my favorite actor, everyone must Go see Cold Mountain and Blueberry Nights.
Favorite lines:
-Time flies.
-Yeah, unfortunately, it flies, coach.
-What's that supposed to mean?
-It's not always a comfortable trip.
If you have seen "Midnight in Paris" (you must watch it if you haven't), you will definitely understand "A Rainy Day in New York".
But if you've seen "Love Like a Bouquet" and then watch the movie again, you may have a deeper understanding (I guess).
