Poor tenderness

[Classic lines] Delicia: Compared to gorgeous apartments and fashion shows, do you know how close I am to nothing? Whenever I open my eyes, I think, as long as I take a wrong step, I will be on the street, without clothes, food, work, and friends. Will become the ordinary Sarah Grubb back then. Do you know what kind of state it is? Kee: Yes I know, at least in that respect we have a common language.

Kineville: Stop wasting your precious life. Listen to me. Once, I was also ambitious. My dream is not as great as yours. It is much simpler. Get married, have children, have your own home, and he died. Now, in a quagmire in France, he is a reliable and good person. You will definitely think he is stupid, but he always smiles in front of me. With this, we can live on. You know the truth in your heart, believe it, life is short.

The scene at the Red Peacock Club in "Assistant to the Star" reminds me of Mu Shiying's description in "Shanghai's Foxtrot": a waiter in white is standing on a dark corner with a messy chair and outstretched arms. Smiling woman face and white collar in men's shirt. Man's face and shaggy hair. Exquisite heels, heels, heels, heels, heels. The wavy corners of the robe, the wavy skirt, and a smooth floor among them. The saxophone craned its neck, opened its mouth wide, and yelled at others. Pushing open the glass door, the delicate illusion was broken.

The kind of extravagant decadence, you can't imagine if you haven't seen it in person. I remember that there was a lively party scene in "Breakfast at Tiffany", where a bunch of familiar strangers huddled together on the dance floor, so desolate. You feel cold in a crowded place, and you just want to run away quickly to escape this profligate anesthesia.

The song "If I didn't care" is simple, lingering and meaningful: if I don't care, I won't talk and stop; if I don't care, how can I be so careful? If this is not love, how can I tremble? What is lingering in my mind, occupying my mind? If I don't care, everything will not change? Will I keep praying just for you? Can I be sure that this love transcends everything? Is all this still true? If I don't care about you.

In if i didn't care, the expression changes of the two protagonists are very delicate, Delicia on the stage gradually devotes himself to her true feelings to sing; from the squirming attitude to the sadness, Kineville is immersed in the stage. In her sad past, her eyes were moist and she applauded. She was a woman who did not hide her true temperament, and it was this that helped her win true love. Good movies are always warm, and hope grows in the heart. In the poignant song of if I didn't care, Kineville finally found happiness at the most helpless moment.

Chapling sums it up well: Pattyglu does impromptu performances to deal with the mistress's lovers while concealing his status as an unemployed person. He must be polite and self-esteem. Lost in the vanity, the look like the porcelain doll of Dirisia and the coquettish chanting style are very similar to the female stars of the Marilyn Monroe era. "Assistant to the Star" does not resemble the movies of this era, from content to form. Because of this, it is unique and interesting.
