The protagonist is actually the Verrazano Bridge

And this protagonist is quite a steal

Stupid is a state, bitch is a temperament

Tony, 19 years old, of Italian origin, works in a hardware store during the day, specializing in selling paint. His salary was US$2.5 an hour, and his salary was later raised to US$4. Every Saturday night, he calls his friends to come to the "2001 Roaming" club. He is transformed into a disco king and beats the audience. It seems that in the fourth quarter of the NBA game, Jordan needs to score points in singles, and all his teammates pulled aside near the bottom line to make room for him. Tony is the same on the dance floor. He has the right to exclusive space. Everyone pulls aside and appreciates his dancing skills.

No one is perfect, Tony is a fool and doesn't respect women:

1. Before I went to the dance hall, I had a fight with my partner. He accidentally got his nails. He opened his mouth and said, "You almost hurt my Pussy Finger." What is Pussy Finger? Teacher Takaka Kato was the first to like it.

2. At first, it was good to partner with Annette. Seeing that Stephanie was pretty, smooth, and good at dancing, she lied to dismiss the former and began to embrace the latter. After Stephanie's frustration, she immediately turned back to vent her lust on Annette.

3. After winning the championship, I felt that I didn't have the strength to win the championship, so I immediately gave my little temper and gave the trophy and bonus to the players who he thought were more worthy of the championship, completely disregarding that half of the credit for the championship belonged to Stephanie. With a little temper, he dragged Stephanie into the car, trying to make it stronger.


Stephanie, who claims to be 20 years old, lives in Brooklyn and commutes to work in Manhattan every day. She has no higher education, but can use a typewriter. With this skill, she starts from the most basic level. Now an artist agency is doing administrative work. In my spare time, I insist on taking courses and strive to get a degree as soon as possible. Every day I have the opportunity to meet big-name celebrities such as Eric Clapton and Cat Stevens. She is full of longing for her future. I found an apartment in Manhattan and moved in with Tony's help. Tony forced Tony to skip work and almost lost his job. Her dancing skills are superb and should be based on ballet.

Tony is obsessed with her, but at the same time thinks she is a bit of a bitch:

1. Turning a blind eye to Tony's offensive is totally irrelevant. After Tony finally got up to the conversation, she immediately stated that we are only dancing partners, and there can be no relationship other than that, no matter what relationship Tony thinks in his mind.

2. The new apartment was previously rented by a male ex-colleague. The male colleague was there on the day Tony helped to move. He kissed Tony in front of her, as if he was still sticking his tongue out. Later, Tony asked repeatedly before she admitted that her male colleague was getting divorced, and she had given her a lot of help at work. It really helped a lot, so...

3. One day in the rehearsal room, Stephanie did a dance with the rehearsal room owner before Tony came. The awkward-looking boss is actually good at dancing, and the two of them are also very engaged in dancing. Tony was angry when he saw it, because the boss claimed to be 65%-65% of his dance partners. It’s not like someone in 35% who jumps so much.


Audience friends, should the emotional story of Tony and Stephanie last forever ?

Protagonist Verrazano Bridge

The group of young people that the film itself focuses on live in the Bay Ridge area of ​​Brooklyn. In addition to being the terminus of the New York Metro Line R, it is also the bridgehead of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Get on the bridge from Highway 278, pay the toll, and cross the bridge. On the other end is Staten Island. In some sense, you are out of New York City.

This is a tall sea-crossing bridge. Narrows means strait here. If you take the scene on the ridge of the bay, you will definitely take this bridge and you will not be able to hide. What's more, the director of the film put this bridge in an extremely important position.

Give a lot of close-ups to the bridge

The first is two scenes of wild scenes on the bridge in the night scene, and the filming for no reason gave a touch of horror. Later, although the plot of Bobby's falling bridge was a bit clichéd, it was understandable, and the plot required it. A few hairy boys climbed up the steel cable regardless of the danger of their lives, and then shook the giant spotlight on the bridge. King Kong possessed him, thinking that he was the king of the world. Animals are fierce, cruel and youthful.

Secondly, in order to let the audience realize the protagonist status of the bridge, the director arranged an "official introduction" of the bridge. Sitting with Stephanie on a bench in the park under the bridge, in order to soothe and distract each other's emotions, Tony tells the story of the bridge: how high is it, how it was built, when it was built, how much steel was used, how much concrete, and a series of numbers. Just open your mouth, and he's a qualified tour guide. He even told an urban legend about the bridge: a worker accidentally fell into the concrete while piling the piers, and his body became a permanent part of the bridge.

In the end, the bridge is really tall. If the crew is funded enough to close the bridge during the daytime, from the perspective of the driver, look around the open strait from the bridge, and completely crush the other more famous bridges in New York City. However, the director used aerial photography, scanned the opening of the film, outlined the frame, and explained the geographical environment in which the plot took place.


Stephanie made her way into Manhattan through her own efforts; Tony, the dancer, felt that she couldn't keep jumping like this. "Roaming 2001" was not that interesting. The friends around her were all stupid, and her life urgently needed to be changed. how to change? From reality to the future, a bridge is also needed.

Thug Life 1977

When was the most desperate moment for the role of Annette?

When Tony was frustrated with Stephanie and turned around and wanted to have sex with her in the car?

When Tony wanted to have a relationship with her in the car, but found out that it was the first time she had sex with her?

When Tony found out that it was her first time, and at the same time found out that she didn't know how to use contraception, didn't take medicine, didn't put on the ring, and gave up? (The idiot Tony also referred to the IUD as an IOU...)

Trojan ENZ-Protecting NYC Since 1977

When she found Tony again, took out a condom from her bag, said she was ready, but was left hanging?

When she took psychedelic drugs and was taken turns by Tony's friends in the back seat of a moving car? (Tony is sitting in the co-pilot position at the moment. He wanted to stop him, but when someone pointed out that he was not really care, he gave up...)

When her tears stained her eye makeup, she got out of the car and saw another friend fall into the sea from the Verrazano Bridge to death?

Annette's most desperate moment is always the next desperate moment.


"No, you don't fuck the future, the future fucks you!"
