"You are so stupid and crazy but so romantic."

Both of them are simple-minded and weak; from movie theaters to comic stores, from Detroit to Los Angeles, having sex in the moonlight and in phone booths, going through a hail of bullets, killing the underworld for love, hiding from the police, being seriously injured for love, driving fast, Fleeing to the south.

A black-bellied geek manga clerk who is not good at words on the surface, falls in love with a sexy and cute but very firm and tenacious call girl after a night of cloud and rain. This is a seemingly unreliable combination. . Quentin actually let everyone else die without any sympathy, leaving the two protagonists to continue wandering around the world.
The labelled suitcase, with a box of cocaine, attracted a lot of bullets, from a lot of beautiful weapons; the
room was colorful and smoky, except for a big-name alcoholic roommate who was sloppy, and a silly big dreamer.
A teen who wants to get into Hollywood; our heroine sticks to her bright-colored high heels in bed, with snacks, watching a TV show, offers to talk business on a roller coaster; a
purple convertible, speeding through the snow and the warm West Coast, passing many The rough sunset, feathers flying, corpses all over the house, and rivers of blood; in
slow motion, we calmly left the border and continued to stay together in a lawless way. Isn't this just a fairy tale? When Quentin wrote it, about the ending, it was probably pretty cool.


The story is not infallible, even absurd; love cannot get away from death and sin by good luck. But this is a movie! Why not daydream a little bit romantically? Heroic, simple-minded and pure love, stubborn and lacking in roots, but so silly and romantic.


Personally, I think the soundtrack is very attentive. For example, the opening song of Charlie Sexton's Graceland has already suggested that this is a movie with a strong western style; another example is the emotional rendering of the two people in the comic store with Charles & Eddie's wounded bird (Now we're here, and we're lonely…We still don't know, what it takes… We wanna feel love… We're just so scared…Guess we're just two wounded bird…I get so high… you gave me shelter… Hearing this is really touching, many people dare not dare to love, like a wounded bird.)
The kissing silhouette of the protagonist's strong hormones perfectly matches the rhythm of the song, even more exciting than the scene of lingering limbs.
This is an ambitious big production. Needless to say, the big horn is small. Hans Zimmer, who is rich in American style, is also invited to compose the theme song, which vividly turns the bloody confrontation between the underworld and the American sweetheart into a heroic epic written by love. ; The dramatic multi-party slaughter feathers flying exaggerated scene embellishes the romantic twist of life and death.
