It didn't matter that the actor was Matt Dillon. The reason for the admission was that the director Bent Hamer was the one who filmed the Widowmaker's Kitchen. After seeing the Widowmaker's Kitchen, I knew the director's sense of humor, and at the same time brought out his insights.

The story is adapted from Charles Bukowski's semi-autobiography of the same name, about Herny Chinaski, a self-proclaimed homemaker. He kept writing and sending it to his favorite magazines, though he didn't reply along the way.

He worked part-time job after job, but none of them were For a long time. All the money was used to buy wine and bet on horses. The two women he met also didnt last. Although he left Jan and found her again, it was more affection than love.

The last monologue is the most interesting , he faces a stripper girl who is struggling, and he is the only one in the audience. The ending, of course, is beautiful.

"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs. And maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is."

At the end, I actually think of Tony Leung in 2046/In the Mood for Love, for some reason. But men and women The protagonist is doing well,Music should also be liked (www.kristinsong.com )!

    Someone once likened that the grid of reality is full of dullness and cookie-cutter.
