I think this is a very interesting movie. It is composed of more than ten minutes of stories. There is no connection between the story and the story, but they all have their own themes. The only thing in common is that people are drinking coffee and smoking. Cigarette talked about topics that were not important.
So perhaps it can be said more clearly that the theme of this movie is "people and people and coffee and smoke" .
In the process of watching movies, I often feel special resonance, because I also use coffee and cigarettes to kill time just like these people who come and go in coffee shops . Of course, there are always all kinds of people in coffee shops, and Jia Muxu chose to describe these people who come and go in coffee shops every day. Based on this, it reminds me of my own life experience.
Since this movie is composed of multiple stories, it looks relaxed, just like reading a short story. In addition, there are many stars in this film, and they are all acting as individuals, so it looks even more interesting. Full.
The first 1/3 of the movie made me completely immersed in the awkward atmosphere, and the feeling seemed to be conveyed to me through the screen from any gap. When you find that people in the coffee shop start to touch coffee cups, small sips of sensitive coffee, or even some people invite you to smoke a cigarette, it may mean that embarrassment has taken this moment bit by bit. .
At this time, coffee and cigarettes may not be regarded as a kind of enjoyment, right?
I felt that people in a coffee shop with a small space, separated by a small table, each drinking coffee, thinking about what reasons should be used to get out of the current situation. When you are a bystander, you will suddenly find that the reasons you have used are so funny and unreasonable, but when embarrassment erodes our heads, at the moment, it is probably difficult to enter into any rational thinking except for getting out of trouble as soon as possible. In your mind?
The turning point of the whole film appeared in a story I particularly liked,
It’s very interesting that the first half of this story took on the embarrassment of all the previous stories, but a phone call caused a lot of jokes in the reversal of the situation, which really made me admire Jamush very much; although the film is made up of many stories. Achievement, but still able to do it in one go instead of being scattered and scattered , this skill is too profound.
In addition, of course, it must be mentioned that Bill Murray is always very nonsensical. I really like him so much. Even if he doesn’t speak, his presence is enough to overwhelm other actors. His presence is shining to me. Bright, peculiar and interesting. Of course, his story is always nonsensical, but it also brings out another kind of customers in the coffee shop. It is not like the embarrassed people who come to greet you, nor the people who come to drink coffee and talk about business. It is purely to enjoy the leisurely coffee shop. Atmosphere.
When Bill Murray became a waiter, what would you do as a guest? Of course, he must be constantly admiring, and while still exclaiming where his luck met Bill Murray, who became a waiter in the coffee shop, the conversation naturally took place, and this is another aspect of coffee and cigarettes.
The ending story is very gentle. The previous story is full of vitality. It is the most common interpersonal relationship in coffee shops, but the coffee (tea) and cigarettes between the elderly cannot be ignored; although the first half of the line often appears "only Coffee and cigarettes? Isn't this unhealthy?" But Jia Muxu not only doesn't think so, he even affirms this combination.
Coffee and cigarettes can develop a variety of interpersonal relationships, and in any case, we can't ignore the pleasure that coffee and cigarettes bring to life.
The old man closed his eyes, you don’t know how long he will sleep, maybe 2 minutes, 10 minutes, one hour, one morning, or maybe forever sleepy, but at least he combines the leisure and pleasure brought by coffee and cigarettes. Take it away, if you look at him, you will understand that he enjoys it without much regret.
