We were two kids just trying to get out, lived on the dark side of American dream.

My favorite at Cannes this year is Sean Baker. I still remember that afternoon after watching Tangerine, I was overwhelmed and moved. The short space is filled with popular social issues such as American ethnic minorities, Trans, immigrants, and sex worker groups. These lines break out at the end of the film after they continue to intersect. At the same time, through the constant quarrel and forcible scenes, and the group play with smoke everywhere, the film pulls the plot and the psychological ups and downs of the characters, and is full of laughter. And in a flashy city like LA, the friendship and dreams of people at the bottom of the fringe. Maybe that's why so many people in the world today yearn for America, so chaotic, so beautiful, so thriving. "We were two kids just trying to get out, lived on the dark side of American dream." Immediately after the movie ended, I remembered this sentence, I am very envious of the friendship between the protagonists of Trans in the movie, even in LA, NY In a noisy and lonely city, they at least have a friend who is always behind them.

  • Alexandra: I remember one Christmas, I was like 6 or 7, my family bought me the cutest little Barney doll, that I would take with me everywhere. And one day I put it inside the tub with me, to give it a bath...

    Sin-Dee: [overlaps] Oh, girl, she tried her out.

    Alexandra: ...and it just stopped working. It stopped singing the "I Love You" song. And I was just so upset. The world can be a cruel place.

  • Sin-Dee: Chester is fucking cheating on me with real fish?

    Alexandra: Yeah, bitch. Like a real fish girl, like vagina and everything.
