American Lover

In the drama film "American Lover", their tears appear more real. What moved me the most at first was in a conversation about "Have you ever wanted to be with me?" The boy said that I want someone to love instead of chasing after all day. The girl responded that I do sometimes feel that I am better and smarter than others. Unexpectedly, the boy held back for a while, then turned around and agreed. Sometimes I feel that I am a genius, hoping to fast forward to the day of fame. I don't know when it started, and stories of all kinds of success and fame have started flying all over the sky. From the initially understandable "commercial (wealth) success", it is no longer satisfied to have money, but also to be famous and image. As a result, various public relations services are blooming everywhere. Compared with the old society with a single class system in the present world, it is hard to say whether it is better or worse. "American Lover" himself said at the end of the film when he was about to flee New York, I really hope that we all live in the feudal era, when people's status will not change. If you are poor, you will be poor for a lifetime, and if you are expensive, you will be expensive for a lifetime. And now, because there is more than one path to success, and there are many examples of grassroots fame, although we don't want to become famous all day, we are gradually lost on the single-plank bridges that seem to lead to Rome, trembling, At a loss.

Mistress America quotes

  • [Last lines]

    Tracy: [narrating] Meadow had made rich fat women less fat, and rich stupid kids less stupid, and lame rich men less lame. And she wanted so badly to be on the other side... to be fat and stupid and lame and rich. But what she couldn't see most of all, more than she couldn't see that she was never going to get the restaurant, was that those people were *nothing* compared to her. They were matches to her bonfire. She was the last cowboy, all romance and failure. The world was changing, and her kind didn't have anywhere to go. Being a beacon of hope for lesser people... is a lonely business.

  • Tracy: It was clear that the thing that Meadow wanted most in the world, the thing that she wanted to define her, to give her a place to put her time and talents, her everything, the restaurant, it was clear that it will never happen. The most surprising thing was that Meadow was actually surprised by it. She could see the world with painful accuracy, but she couldn't see herself or her fate. And because I was in love with her I decided I couldn't see it either.
