Catcher in the Rye, 84

During the epidemic, watch movies and read books at home. By coincidence, I was watching Woody Allen's "A Rainy Day in New York" and Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye", and suddenly felt that the styles were very similar. Those fake tastes, the hypocritical high life, and even their own family; this man may be 25-year-old Sweet Tea, 32-year-old Salinger, more likely 85-year-old Woody Allen, But it's actually that teenager Holden, who is also our adolescent self.

After having this feeling, I checked the timeline and interview materials, and found that Woody Allen was 16 years old when "Mike" was published, similar to Holden's age. The innocent and world-weary child in Ringer's pen was himself, so much so that at the age of 84 he would still say that "Mai" was a book that had a profound impact on his life. Perhaps there is a part of Woody Allen's consciousness, Always stay at 15 years old.

Holden, Woody Allen, Gatsby was expelled or dropped out of school in "A Rainy Day in New York", how similar the experience is, even the image of Sweet Tea's hunchback in the play seems to imitate Woody Allen, in my mind Holden also looks like this yuppie. They all like the girl named Jean in the image, and Jean may be Diane Keaton, Scarlett Johansson, Elle Fanning in the Woody Allen movie. They all like innocent children, just like Gatsby repeatedly lamented that Selena Gomez was still a little girl in his mind. Fortunately, this little girl will understand him when she grows up.

Today's taste is right.

A Rainy Day in New York quotes

  • Gatsby Welles: I need a carbon monoxide to survive.

    Ashleigh Enright: What are you talking about?

    Gatsby Welles: We are two different creatures, right? You like the sound of crickets and I like the rattle of the taxies. You blosom in the sun and me, I come into my own under grey skies.

  • Chan Tyrell: Listen, Gatsby, let me tell you, you only live once. But once is enough if you find the right person.
