Do you hope this is the ending?

This film does not seem to have a clear theme, but there seem to be many themes, money, love, friendship, dignity, vanity, impulse, deception, health, compassion, our lives are a kaleidoscope.

If the baron cruelly took away the drunkard’s wallet, he would not die. The next day he flew with the ballerina, but the fate of everyone else changed. The good thing about the plot is that the audience can choose which side they are on, and either side can pick out the other side's drawbacks. There is no right or wrong in life.

    It's still more classic, and the early Hollywood was not so rude!

    Recent favorites. The fates of five different characters in a luxury hotel are intertwined, but they are nothing but an insignificant scene in the bustling repertoire. There are industrial giants in financial trouble, bookkeepers who are dying of love and pleasure, stenographers who are young and beautiful for money, ballet actresses who want to die in decline, and barons who have to steal to survive. The profiles of the above characters are all told through the alternate horizontal conversation scenes at the beginning, and the specific scenes that follow reveal their personalities beyond their identities. Entrepreneurs who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality are actually ruthless, greedy and lustful. Bookkeepers become sincere and brave in the determination and despair of death. Although stenographers bow down for five buckets of rice, they always stick to the bottom line of their hearts. The love creature of ballet actress has an almost lovely admiration. Vanity, the baron struggled repeatedly between reality and the way of a gentleman, and finally he would rather be broken. The film's high level of ensemble scheduling can be seen from the vividness of the characters, and the interaction between the bookkeeper and the baron is undoubtedly the most moving. Those who have really experienced life can't help but fall plum blossoms all over Nanshan for them.
