Jack Nicholson's acting is so natural that I won't go into details. His emotional performance makes you believe that he can't hold other people in his heart at this time and place. The screenwriter also skillfully linked the fate of the three characters together to achieve the goal of warm-hearted mutual assistance. Perhaps the first characteristic of being a screenwriter is to go against the needs of the protagonists without taking the trouble, for example, to let Simon not only be robbed, but also be beaten to death. Let Simon meet his muse, Carol, isn't it?
That day, I saw critics say inscrutably that only love that ends in tragedy is more contagious. I don't particularly agree. Like this movie, its ending lives up to expectations, while also being deeply moving. At the end of the movie, how beautiful the two looked when they walked towards the bakery with warm lights in the early morning. Love is a shining point picked up from each other's countless quirks, like two hedgehogs cautiously probing, trembling to avoid all the other's thorns, and then plucking up the courage to embrace.
Favorite line from this movie: I had to see you. It relaxes me. I'd feel better sitting outside your apartment on the curb than any other place.
