pick a girl

If one of the two girls in the film, Suzy and Lola, was to be a best friend, I would definitely choose Lola.
In the film, Lola is a glamorous and shrewd "bitch" who uses her beauty to seduce all kinds of powerful men and climbs up step by step. But I will be fascinated by the charm of Lola, a woman with strength and wisdom, who can handle everything clearly and dependably, and who has no one to rely on but who has made a bloody path in the chaotic world.
Such a girlfriend will show you the sights of Paris, let you, an ordinary little dancer, walk on the stage of the opera, take you to escape the war-torn Europe, and help you realize your long-cherished wish. In a foreign country with no support, she relied on her own ability to survive and work hard in the world, but she never forgets to bring her friends. On the other hand, the delicate and delicate Susie, even though she silently accepted all of Lola's ambitions and arrangements, she always had a sense of loneliness and awkwardness. Her energy might have been given to that arrogant singer, to the equally rebellious gypsy, but there was no reason to give it to Laura in any case.
If I were Susie, I had a girlfriend like Lola in a chaotic world, and I didn't have her beauty, nor her emotional intelligence and courage, and I couldn't fight like her, or I didn't want to fight at all. In front of her, the small and clumsy me will at least put away that loneliness - I will never let my best friend face me with shame, embarrassment and panic every time he faces me like in the movie , speech disjointed.

The Man Who Cried quotes

  • Welsh Teacher: Now, you're in England now, so you speak English, don't you? They wouldn't let me speak Welsh, either. But it did me the world of good. In the end. You see, Suzie, you've got to learn to fit in.

  • Dante Dominio: Mussolini believes in order and organization. He understands that the Italian people must regain back their self-respect.

    Reporter: By putting on black shirts and marching up and down in one of those rallies?

    Dante Dominio: [laughs and pats the reporter's cheek] Ah, you intellectual, huh? For the working man, the rallies are about dignity and strength. The lighting, the music, the choreography creates an atmosphere. Magnifico!

    Felix Perlman: Mussolini certainly has a great sense of theatre.

    Dante Dominio: Certo! Certo, huh? And everything he does, huh... is big. Yes. Yes! You could learn something, Felix. He really knows how to reach his public.
