For losers, love is the most luxurious consumer goods, and life is the cheapest hysteria

No matter how beautiful the scenery at the top of the Ferris wheel is,

After all, it is short-lived and illusory like a flash in the pan.

That wheel takes you to the sky,

Soon it will throw you off the cloud again.

No one can save love,

Love can't save lives either.

After a carnival-style splendor,

But the dream shattered again.

For losers,

Love is the most luxurious consumer goods,

Life is the cheapest hysteria.

    USA #999. As good as the cinematography is, this drama is as horrific. There is basically no likable actor. Boss Jia is an amateur player no matter what, and Fei Wen is too hard. Just look at the performance of the big devil in [Blue Jasmine] and you will know the difference. Of course, it would be fun if you had to refer the play to the old man's own gossip (the problem is Woody Allen is not Hong Changxiu...). Almost all compliments can be given to photography. As a meta-narrative, the "symbolism" of Boss Jia's monologue is reflected in the strong dramatic expressionism of Stellaro's use of light, which is quite suitable for the stage performance. Of course, the contrast between red and blue is really amazingly accurate and moving.

    Wien/The light, shadow and color are so beautiful, I enjoy watching it on the big screen. I want to see that Chinese courtyard. The old man is still very realistic, and everyone is empty in the end. Don't fall in love with literary youth, and don't pin your hope of self-salvation on others.
