[Wallace finally committed suicide. . . I also often feel that my soul suffers a lot, and I don’t want to live anymore.

[Rewatched it again today. The interview should be divided into three parts. In the first part, although the two can talk to each other, there is a vague estrangement. After some late-night conversations, the two became closer the next day than before, and they were reluctant to come back when they went for a walk outside to see the snowy Lipsky. While Wallace was shoveling snow, he secretly recorded the furnishings of his home with his voice. No wonder he cried when he read and shared memories for a few short days, because he was not alone. It's hard to have that experience again. At the end, Wallace danced to his heart's content in the church, which Lipsky couldn't see but could imagine.

The older I get, the more I like to watch quiet narration movies

[I’m really timid. As soon as the movie is quiet, I’m worried that embarrassing and unpleasant things will happen. With the playground music, my mood suddenly relaxes.

[The two of them are also very interesting. At the beginning of the interview, both of them were smoking cigarettes, and the smoke was smoky. I guess smoking is something that two people who have just met, do it subconsciously to avoid speculation; in the end, The two of them collided with many sparks, and talked about deeper thoughts, feelings, emotions, and even fears in their hearts. The smoke was gone. It was a battle at the spiritual level. There was no need for such things as cigarettes, but only two minds to be present. In the end, they understood each other, they went to see the snowfields, went to buy chips and cokes, ate a normal meal, and declared harmony and harmony. Really like this movie.

    The film is dominated by dialogue. The chat between the two men is casual most of the time, but if you are not careful, you will be hit by some small details, such as hints of David Wallace’s depression, such as life’s loneliness and carelessness. If you listen carefully to the dialogue, it is easy to empathize. Although some people have only brief intersections in their lives, at the point of intersection, they know that they are not alone at that moment. ★★★

    Writers are very sensitive. The narration, soundtrack and performance are good, and it can be said that it has entered the inner world of two people.
