taxi driver

There is a strange phenomenon, when I am standing still, it does not appear, when I move, it appears. Walking, running, cycling, (motorcycle,) taxi, bus, subway, ferry, train, high-speed rail, plane, as long as it is on the road, it is right. The most basic explanation is that I was constantly exposed to new things on the road, which in turn triggered fresh brain holes and thinking.

A taxi is a good thing, both to take people on the road, and to listen to the driver's story. So let's talk about taxi drivers.

【San Francisco】

The San Francisco female driver elf Winona is ten times cuter than the good girl Winona in Scissorhands. Pull, but don't offend; want love, but would rather lack than waste; love money, but not greedy for money.

Street tooling mix and match style, sunglasses, flue-cured tobacco chewing gum, pop rock loudspeaker, men fooling around to sell batches, Hu forced to drive Gan Lin Niang, I am here so I am here, simple and true, not artificial. Be warm, thoughtful, civilized and polite to the passenger's aunt, follow the order of the lady to take off her sunglasses, yes, the aunt is closed, and good mothers don't smoke. If you are too straightforward without respecting others, you will offend others. If you are too strict with etiquette, you will be prone to hypocrisy and distortion. You can keep your sincerity and respect others. Quality is better than literature, and literature is better than history.

Diligently soliciting customers, taking the initiative to solicit customers, worrying about the cost of repairing cars, accepting tips, love to drive, love to work, and make money, ideally a mechanic (repair?), and then continue to make money by repairing the beloved machine, I am willing. Hollywood in San Francisco, talent scouts, national idols, who get rich overnight and earn millions, I'm not interested. The three armies can win the commander-in-chief, but the individual cannot win the will. Money has to be earned by oneself, and cannot be picked up in vain. Unrighteous and rich and expensive are like floating clouds to me.

Get married, but don't get married. Want a man, but must be a good man.

The three views are correct, the character is good, and the eccentric is the ideal type. Of course, the other party should have three criteria for choosing a mate. One is to love me wholeheartedly, the second is to be handsome, and the third is to be able to repair cars. I can satisfy at most one.

Bravely pursue your dreams, be your true self, and let the world see you the brightest. The concept of chasing dreams in life, guided by the American mainstream culture represented by Hollywood, not only affects young people in the United States, but also affects young people in the world. To promote short-cut fame, fortune and success with great fanfare, and take practical work as the shackles of life, the poison is widespread and the harm is not shallow. Everyone has their own way of life, repairing a car is no worse than being a star.

It’s better to repair a car than to go out on the road, which is also an American freedom. No matter how you choose, life will not be too bad. If you are not free, it is better to make less money, and you will not be killed, and you will not be poor. This choice applies to developed countries, but not to developing countries—the little rich are uneasy, either rich or poor.

【New York】

Nego was discriminated against because he was a Nego and couldn’t get a taxi, and socialist immigrants couldn’t get customers because of his incompatibility. The discriminated Nego and marginalized immigrants made up a pair. Learn English, learn to drive, live maps and guides, harmony, friendship, solidarity and mutual assistance, cultural differences are a lot of fun and fun. The Empire State Building, Times Square, the Brooklyn Bridge, f-ck, shit, a-hole greet each other, uncles and sisters spray each other, this is New York. Violence and police cars, fire and firefighting, poverty and dilapidation, getting lost, this is New York too.

【Paris】

Blind Beatrice is much cuter than fool Wildrose, I roll my eyes and show my eyes as if I didn't see them.

The passenger Cameroonian discriminates against the taxi driver Cote d'Ivoire. The taxi driver usually sympathizes with the blind man. The blind man said that although I am blind, I live the same life as you, and even my perception is more delicate than yours, so I live a more wonderful life than you, don't Sympathize with me, sympathy is discrimination, you are the blind, and all of you with eyes are blind. As a result, Nico, who discriminated against Nico, was kicked out of the car by Nico at four o'clock in the morning. The driver who sympathized with the blind man became addicted to running lights and quit the car. mouth. Eyes make people blind, vision makes people blind.

【Rome】

The Italian taxi driver groaned and confessed that he killed the priest, implying that the priest was dirtier? You can have sex on the street, from a motorcycle to a wall; you can have a variety of flavors, pumpkin and lamb dumplings; you can forbid lust, God forgive. The most indulgent and the most ascetic can be Rome.

【Helsinki】

The silent middle-aged driver picked up three drunk middle-aged passengers and talked about whose middle age was worse. Everything has a price, you need to pay for the car, you need to be fired for being late, you need to have a baby as soon as possible, and there is less risk at the right age.

When people reach middle age, they have nothing to do. Before people reach middle age, they must mix well.

【Five Topics】

Mainstream culture, immigration, discrimination and prejudice, indulgence and abstinence, mid-life crisis, I don't see any connection... Mainstream social problems in Europe and America?

【taxi】

As long as the car runs on the street, it's comfortable as if I'm on a strange street in the early hours of the morning.

    When I was a child, the moon was like a pearl and the day was like gold. When I grew up, the wind was bitter and the mountains turned upside down.

    If in the winter night, five taxis set off from five cities at the same time...The first two sections that took place in the United States took the warm comedy route. The inspirational driver girly of Winona in Los Angeles and the "shield" of young and old in New York are quite good, but How do you look at the black sex comedies in Paris and Rome (Roberto is super noisy), and the Helsinki chapter is so far-fetched that it seems to be written by a drunk! For a film that is difficult to evaluate as a whole, let's just look at the first two to give points.

Night on Earth quotes

  • Driver: Rome deserted. Beautiful city. The Romans have all left Rome. Where did they go?

  • Driver: This wall wasn't here yesterday! Like Saint Pete, I will retreat. And like the saint that led, I'll move ahead.
