I don't know if it's because Winster's performance is so good, I feel the most about this character. There are many women like Ginny, whether in America in the 1950s or in China now. They have unreasonable longings for love, and always think that there is really earth-shattering love in this world. There will be a man, somewhere in this world, looking forward to saving them from their hopeless and mediocre reality and giving her a higher life than she has now.

Although it can make people go beyond the ground and keep rising as it rotates, the scenery that can be seen in the horizon is getting farther and farther, and the psychology is also more and more exciting.

    Mickey: [narrating] Coney Island, 1950's. The beach, the boardwalk. Once a luminous jewel, but growing relentlessly seedier as the tides roll in and out. Summers I work here on Bay 7. Comes the fall, I'm a student at New York University going for my Master's in European drama. I'm Mickey Rubin. Poetic by nature. I harbor dreams of being a writer.

  • Mickey: [narrating] The kid makes fires. And not such little ones. He played hooky from summer school and even made fires on the beach where it's forbidden. What the hell does the kid see when he just stares into the flames? Is it the eternal power of the universe? The conversion of mass into energy? The Furies at work? Whatever his motive, it is not appreciated.
