I was silly when I was young. All became memories.

2 stars, a story about a somewhat narcissistic new female director falling in love with a scumbag. The advantage is that the shooting is relatively clever, and there is no direct plot of how the scumbag steals, takes drugs, deceives, and tragically died. But after the incident, the heroine was heartbroken when she saw the scum man committing a crime, how to pity the scum man, and wipe her ass for the scum man's troubles. In this way, I feel that the scumbag is not so scumbag, and the heroine is not so stupid. Instead, I feel that the heroine has a maternal and inclusive side. If you change the blunt way of saying "drug abuse and criminal science", then this film is a bit unsustainable, and the story of the first nurturing of the face will be more literary. Having said that: Who has never been stupid when he was young, right! It's all love, and it's all memories.

    Julie: What fucking emergency?

    Julie: What's that supposed to mean? You can't say stuff like that and then not... I don't.. I appreciate there are some things you can't tell me.

    Anthony: Well, uh, you know, I appreciate there's things about me that you find unacceptable. There's things about you I find unacceptable. There's things about this conversation I find unacceptable. We're gonna have to meet somewhere.

  • [at a dinner party; Anthony has left the table]

    Patrick: You don't seem druggy to me.

    Julie: [smiling] No, I'm not, no, I'm not.

    Patrick: Interesting. So I'm trying to work out... where you two tessellate here.

    [Julie is wordless, confused]

    Patrick: I'm not good with euphemism, so...

    Julie: Sorry, I don't understand.

    Patrick: OK, so,

    [gestures to Anthony's vacant seat]

    Patrick: habitual heroin user,

    [gestures to Julie]

    Patrick: trainee Rotarian... which is a good look, I mean it nicely. How, what, why, when... ?

    Julie: [quietly stunned] Sorry, I don't...

    Patrick: You don't even dabble?

    Julie: No.

    Patrick: Okay. I mean, I don't, I feel it's very mainstream behavior. I've said to him, it's mainstream. I actually think, you know... I mean, it was fine in the '40s, but...
