After a round of online disks, they are all machine translations with no sincerity, so I made a Chinese and English subtitles, I don’t know if I can find out the cool and humorous poetic feeling of Jiamusu, first provide resources + subtitles:

Of course, there is Hungarian in the film, which I don’t understand very well, and there is no English reference, so I didn’t translate some of the bird languages spoken by Aunt Lotte and Eva, and there are a few other places that I think I didn’t understand:
1. First, Eva and Wille go to the vacuum cleaner. Wille said that the term "vacuum clean" is inauthentic. Americans don't say that. Americans call the action of vacuuming "choke the alligator" (literally "choke the alligator"). I I can't think of the action of choke (suffocating, pinching) in any way with vacuuming. The vacuum cleaner doesn't look like a crocodile or a crocodile's mouth at all, and the action of vacuuming is not like suffocating a crocodile with a rope. After a few searches on the Internet, I saw that Americans like to mention a food called alligator pear, avocado, or avocado, which is shaped like an egg, so I think Willie should be a madman, just like the teaching in "The Devil is Coming". When the devil said "Happy New Year's Day, big brother and sister-in-law", it was like cursing others. Eva still remembers this alligator. When they went to Florida later, Eva asked if I could meet the real alligator?
2. When Eddie told Willie about the Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA team), Willie said "They're like 0 and 48 or something like that", I really don't understand what this O and forty-eight means, anyway Just to express that he is not interested in this team.
3. When three people were looking at Lake Erie in Cleveland, Eva said "It's a kind of drag (drag, trailer) here", which I didn't quite understand. My understanding was that Eva felt that it was a bit awkward to see this lake. Necessary, or not so boring in Cleveland. But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you feel it more, Jiamusu just makes the character look lonely and doesn't understand communication well.
4. When Eva and Willie were talking about American football, the live speech was not translated very seriously. When Willie and Eddie played thousands of games, I didn't really understand the terminology of the big names.
Probably these are the questions above, I wish you a happy movie watching. Here are some of my thoughts on this movie
This movie was originally intended to be given four stars. I really like Jarmusch's cool poetry, but my favorite "Patterson" was later translated. It took a lot of time to translate this movie. The words were chewed over and over again, and with some emotions, I got five stars.
Many people like to say that Jarmusch's film is cold and alienated, but I don't feel that way about this movie. The two main characters, Eva and Willie, are just more personal and lonely in their actions. Let's talk about Eva first, she inexplicably loves this Screaming Joy scream rock. When I first came on stage, I was walking on the streets of New York, and suddenly poetically brought out this Walkman to play I put a spell on you. Part of the reason why Jarmusch's films feel poetic is that the characters in them are all a bit non-mainstream individualistic behaviors, and they insist on their own personalism, even though it doesn't seem to make sense (at least to outsiders). , no good), I understand this kind of behavior as romanticism. I don’t care about other people’s judgments and insist on doing what I want to do and love it deeply. It is a very romantic thing, and romance is poetic. Eva's love for this rock was romantic from beginning to end, and she tirelessly gave Willie Amway, but Willie also insisted that she didn't like it at all. Fortunately, Eddie agreed with Eva, but Eddie just said that the song was a good car music, not really from the style. Appreciate this song from an emotional point of view, but Eddie seems to be a person who is not very assertive. Whether he agrees or not, it is difficult to achieve a deep understanding between people. Ironically, Willie, who is also Hungarian, doesn't have a strong sense of identification with Eva, while Eddie, an authentic American, is very close to Eva, agrees with Eva, and thinks Eva is cute when we first met (I also think that when she appeared on the stage, the upturned one was very cute. Flowing sea is very funny). Jarmusch is concerned about the search for identity after the arrival of foreign nationals in the continental United States, but the obstacles to finding identity are mostly created by the same ethnic group. The local people are very enthusiastic about it. That kind of approach is not American, authentic, or international. Yankees have always discriminated against mainly Chinese, Jews, and blacks. Interestingly, these three groups are also groups that recognize their own culture. They will live together and the Chinese will live together. They speak their native language and cook Chinese food, the Jews will do business together, and the blacks will naturally hang out in groups all day long to engage in crime and record label rap (later Eva met that white fanboy and naturally rapped, national talent), maybe It's because they don't actively integrate into American culture, so the Yankees feel that they have been attacked by culture, but the culture of black people is becoming more and more orthodox in the United States, which is a digression. Back to Eva, she was looking for her own identity, but she did not take the initiative to kneel and lick American culture, so she asked the question of what the quarterback was doing when defending. She also cared about her cousin Willie and asked him to eat What kind of meat, bring him cigarettes and fast food (she said she didn't buy it with money, how she got it, stealing or exchanging it for anything else is unknown), clean the house for him, even if she dislikes Willie's dress aesthetic Still wearing that white dress to say goodbye to Willie, there was no indifference between them at all. But she never got along with Willie, often Eva asked The first sentence, Willie did not respond, Eva asked the second sentence, Willie responded to the first sentence, there was no tacit understanding in the dialogue, the two people asked themselves questions, but she still won Willie's favor, even if Willie still does not Happy to take her to the horse betting scene. I can see Eva in Cleveland and I also like Billy the Kid a little bit. He will coax Billy when he calls, but Billy approached Eva in the way of ordinary girls. I don't think it will work. Eva is very special, she is happy Being different is like being different from other girls. She will care if the cigarettes bought in Cleveland have the same fragrance as New York. She is a little happy when she gets a positive answer; the boy asks her what movie to watch and she chooses a kung fu movie; it is obviously hip. Dressed up as a hop, but somehow bought a forest girl hat at the beach; he is dismissive of things he doesn't care about, he is very insistent, does not feel inferior to other cultures, and is very courageous, especially when passing through Clinton Street in New York of violent neighborhoods and being alone when facing loneliness.
Let’s talk about Willie again, he avoided talking about his Hungarian origin, he didn’t have a sense of identity, and was a bit like kneeling and licking the United States. Except in front of his aunt, he refused to talk about his old name Bela. Eddie asked him if Budapest was like Cleveland? He scolded Eddie, Eddie probably felt that everything was the same, and life was so ordinary. Willie is also very confident. He feels that what he believes is right, and he likes and dislikes it, so he left his Hungarian family early and stayed in the United States, insisting that the white dress he bought with straight male aesthetics is very beautiful. He likes to call Eddie when he has nothing to do, but he doesn't do anything. He usually rejects Eddie's advice to him (especially the suggestion to bring Eva to play), he just likes to point fingers at Eddie. Eddie doesn't match up very well either. These three people seem to be moving separately on the xyz axes of the three-dimensional coordinates. No matter how they move, they are not consistent, and they do not affect each other. But Willie likes to take Eddie and Eva, three lonely people squatting together alone.
There is also Eddie, he is not very strong, the only time he is strong is to propose to gamble on dogs, and then he keeps saying that he has a bad premonition, and he looks like a fool all day long, full of curiosity about everything. Those who are interested will not refuse. He was happiest when the three of them watched a kung fu movie with Billy. Willie kept his face sullen, Billy seemed to approach Eva and handed her popcorn, Eddie took the initiative and ate it happily. When other people talk about a place, he always describes himself as if he has been there. In fact, he has never been there. In Cleveland, he pondered for a while and said that when he went to a new place, he always felt familiar, but it was the same everywhere. , Everywhere in life is so ordinary, but facing Willie and Eva, it is always a little strange. Eva also said something familiar when she went to the hotel in Florida, echoing Eddie's words. Even if he knew Willie would refuse, he always suggested to take Eva to gamble. He cared about the lovely Eva very much. Maybe following Willie's command mindlessly is a kind of individualism of Eddie.
In the end, the incompatibility between the three finally broke out. Willie thought that Eva had boarded the plane to Budapest, and followed him on the plane to find her, but he couldn’t find her. In the end, he should have got off the plane angrily, but Eddie saw the plane. Willie took off and hadn't come out yet. Naturally, he thought that Willie chased after Budapest and then drove away from the airport. When Willie came out of the boarding area and found Eddie's departure, he must have been stunned, and Eva didn't know what he was thinking, he wanted to go back Budapest ended up staying, returning alone to the hotel room where he had checked out. But I think they will still meet again, the loneliness between them always attracts each other. This film is called stranger than paradise. The literal translation is stranger than paradise. The three of them just communicate very strangely, but their hearts are not far apart. On the contrary, they respect each other's personality very much, and their relationship is more harmonious and long-lasting. You must know that their respective cultural identities are different.
