Just another barren city

After watching, I always feel that Greta does not seem to be the protagonist, although the first half of the film almost revolves around her, and although it is necessary for the plot, she keeps changing clothes. From the sexy and neat outfit of BF shirt, high-waist, wide-leg pants to the Lohas girl in tight tank top and tight sports pants, to the intellectual outfit with striped shirt eyes and Icelandic blue cardigan, is it not the director's starry eyes for his girlfriend? ! Haha the

plot unfolds, especially the noisy and torn group drama in the mansion, almost full of firepower, everyone's personality has reached a profound portrayal, and everyone has become the protagonist. The heroine Brooke. Brooke's sister tracy, classmate tracy and his jealous girlfriend, as well as Brooke's former friends, and ex-boyfriend Glenn (who has become a husband as a friend). Several people are not perfect, shining roles, but each has its own shortcomings, but they are very cute together. Including the soy sauce neighbor who completed the "door opening/knocking" action, he is a complaining, mean, childish pediatrician at all. And that cute old man with glasses and red cheeks.

Tracy, who arrived in New York for the first time, came to this city with respect and anxiety. In addition, he was born with insufficient self-confidence and was rejected by his favorite literary agency. He contacted his mother with the attitude of trying it out. After remarrying, he will soon become a sister in the new family Brooke. As a result, she was fascinated by her. Getting along with Brook, in her opinion, is getting along with Modern New York. Brooke is a part-time fitness instructor, and the big guy speaks vividly on the cycling equipment: your attitude towards one thing is your attitude towards everything; playing on the team, knowing a lot of people; about to open a stylish restaurant; living in In the business district, the decoration is cool; it is also a freelancer, almost omnipotent.

Tracy almost looked up at her cautiously, loved her, and wanted to stick behind her. Brooke made some spaghetti casually, which made her panic. She went to the supermarket to call her mother and male classmates for help. Which kind of pasta is better. In the end, I bought back all kinds of noodles.

But at the same time, she watched the restaurant plan that Brooke ultimately failed to open almost with an attitude of seeing through all the truth. But I always think that tracy is with the intention of taking materials by the way, not the whole purpose is to complete the novel Mistress America (even if the novel name idea is also Brooke, this is the same as the girlfriend who copied Brooke shirt idea in some respects. Well). To Brook, she still wants to stick to her, experience her life, and learn to be a cool girl. Describing Brooke with the annoying and lethal phrase "rotten body" is just a literary exaggeration and does not represent her true thoughts.

Besides, almost everyone here has a self-deception side. For example, Brooke is not a cool girl in my heart. Her adventures are within a safe range. For example, when her boyfriend knows about kissing people in the band, facing the situation where the divestment restaurant has no way, the apartment is also locked, crying into tears. I was recognized by my high school classmates in the restaurant and turned over the old account. Although after a very exciting battle, it seems that it is not care to gain the upper hand. In fact, my heart is still awkward and uncomfortable. And she always claims that she occasionally does something disgraceful, but this is not the makeup of her character.

And, Tracy's male classmate is a sissy who can't afford to lose. Playing chess with his girlfriend Nicole can't afford to lose, let alone like tracy. There is still a face saying, "Sometimes I think I am a genius, I hope the time will fast forward to the day I become famous." Tsk, according to the movie, you probably never become a genius. It's just an unmanly loser.

There is also Brook's ex-boyfriend, who lives in a large suburban villa with his wife. The decoration is tasteful. His wife is beautiful and independent, and they seem to be happy. But in the group play, it shows up in a second. He kept complaining that he became a man in a woolen sweater for his wife. And he was obviously a cool boy who lived in the city center and listened to music like superchunk, tirp shakespeare (the last two words were added subjectively). In my opinion, he is a rich man who occasionally volunteers in a community volunteer center to dispatch his life and escape life.

Probably everyone will have some romantic ideas, or feel that they are different in their hearts, if the conditions are mature enough.
Maybe. But maybe it's just that I'm not so cool and not so beautiful.
