Not just the story of Wenqing and the old aunt

I thought it was from a horror movie

Regarding enchanting beauties, I have made a ranking: the top ten enchanting beauties on the screen, Catherine in Instinct is third, and the queen of Aquaman is fourth. Among them, Kate Beckinsale ranks quite high.

As an actor born in 1973, even if she became an old aunt, she is also the most charming one.

Not to mention the immortal and immortal vampire Selena in "Underworld", and her appearance in "Pearl Harbor", "Aviator", "True Love", and "Journey to Heaven" are all shocked and angry. homosexual.

In a flash of ten years, "Journey to the Family" was already the award-winning film ten years ago; but Kate Beckinsale seemed to be getting more and more flavorful, and he even fell in love with the Xiaoxianrou family.

That's right, this movie called "The Only Living Boy in New York" is not a horror film or a black humorous comedy, but a very literary family ethics drama.

I was also taken aback at the time, because I thought that since the episode included the vampires Kate Beckinsale, 007 Pierce Brosnan, Jeff Bridges from "Going Through Fire" and "Auror" brother Callum. Turner, there should be some supernatural elements, right?

There was no result. But the three views are still broken. What's the matter?

American art is "chaos"

Tucao, I really like this movie.

"The Only Living Boy in New York" is so romantic and wasteful at the same time.

This name is more like an excellent horror film than "I Am Legend".

But it is not. It is a love letter from the film's creator to the city of "New York".

Thomas-Thomas again! In recent movies, there are so many villains Thomas! But this Thomas is not bad, he just has some art.

He has a senior publisher father and a mother suffering from depression.

Dad Ethan is a very successful person in the world, and he judged that his son did not have the talent for writing.

In order to prove that he was wrong, his son left the rich area, lived in a low-cost house, and started a life like an ascetic monk.

At this time, he and his temporary object Mi Mi also had problems, and the whole person was extremely confused.

Fortunately, the new neighbor, Uncle Gerald, helped him, and made people walk out of the haze of life, and began to work towards the goal of "writer".

It was also at this time that he found Joanna, Dad Ethan's lover.

Then... maybe it was Thomas' literary and artistic temperament that attracted Joanna, or maybe it was Joanna's mature breath that filled Thomas's mental gap. In short, they were together.

Yes, my son and dad’s mistress started talking about love.

And when this bloody thing was about to showdown, even more bloody things happened.

It turns out that the neighbor Gerald is Thomas' biological father-a successful writer. He is guarding the growth of his son in his own way, and writes a novel with him as the main character.

Yes, this novel is called "The Only Living Boy in New York".

In addition to dog blood, there is tolerance

It's very bloody, even more dog than domestic drama, it can be called a "dog drama"!

But why don’t you feel sick when you look at it? Because of that indifferent.

This kind of absurd thing that we seem to be dog-blooded, the parties involved are very calm and plain when dealing with it, because this kind of thing happens every day in New York.

This is the bad part of this city, but it is also his good point.

New York doesn't accuse anyone, it just tolerates.

In fact, there is a deeper content hidden behind the dog's blood. That is, when people grow up, can they choose their own way of life?

Thomas has two dads.

Although his adoptive father did not appreciate his ideals, he never abandoned him; although his biological father had always supported his dream, he did abandon his wife at first.

Both the adoptive father and the biological father wanted to be writers, but the adoptive father compromised and became a successful publisher and achieved secular success; while the biological father had been poor and unable to support his family, but in the end his dream came true and became a success. Was a well-known writer at the time.

This is New York behind the dog's blood, a place full of charm, miracles and mental illness.

If you say it is literary and artistic, then it is the most literary and artistic; if you say it is cruel, then it is also the cruelest.

Very good, suitable for young dream chasers to hug together, find a rainy day, and watch together.
