Night on Earth

The opening and closing songs open and kneel.

LOS ANGELES

"I'm special, you know that?"

Always yearning for someone like Corgi: cool girl, carefree, reckless, and very clear about what she wants. Mechanic, I only know that the fifth person has this character, haha, it sounds amazing. When Corgi helped to take Victoria's luggage, Victoria's expression was too funny, and her inner OS: I dare not say anything / You can have a snack / I can't bear to look directly, there is no choice... Finally, carry the luggage Corkina The phrase "this is my job" made me respect again, seriously funny. When the two talked about marriage and family, there was a sudden contrast between Corgi's speech and image, and he was quite sober. On the way, Victoria said that Corgi smoked a little too much, and Corgi replied "Okay, mom", which is a very loving picture. When Victoria confessed that she was a talent scout and asked Corgi if she was considering a role that was very suitable for her, Corgi said that she did not want to be a star: "I am a taxi driver, this is my job." Exploring it, I believe that in the end, Victoria was shone by the light of Corgi.

NEW YORK

"This family is so fun."

At first, I thought it was because the car was old and worn out. Later, when Youyou was driving, he realized that the old man Helmut was a fool, hahaha. Helmut imitating Youyou's way of driving is very interesting, and he has to ask "Does it look like it?" The old man in the back watched Youyou and Angela quarrel with a novel look, and he was a cute old man who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun. It turns out that everything is the same, the first foreign language I learn is really swearing. It's also nice to count the money and say goodbye at the end. Helmet and Youyou were amused when they looked at each other, and finally the old man muttered, "This family is so fun." It should be an idea that often pops up when we see weird neighbors, friends, and strangers in our daily life.

PARIS

"I'm blind, that's all."

At first, the passenger on the right looked like a frog, as if it was from an anime or a Japanese drama. Blind girl, think of the fifth personality again. The expression of the black driver is very intriguing, from enduring the insults of the two African passengers to rebutting them, driving them out of the car, and then every time he wants to ask a question to the blind woman, he glances first, organizes the language in his heart, uh, hesitant to say anything , but I was really curious, so the straight man asked. I believe it is exactly what he said: I am not making fun of you, I have never seen a blind person, I am just curious, nothing else. When the blind girl said she could even go to the movies, the black driver's smile was probably like this: You can pull you down. Later, the black driver smiled confidently and said: If you are so smart, let me ask you a question. What I probably thought was: Look how powerful you are, I still can't take care of you. It's just that the blind girl doesn't play cards according to the routine, hahaha, the whole process is crushed. Finally getting off the car and paying the fare is also very sassy, ​​I love it.

ROME

"I must repent"

The opening chapter is a stand-up comedy, and you can hear it when you watch it. I really don’t have time to look at what the content says, and I probably won’t be able to fully react to it if I look closely. Then the statue goes round and round and picks up the "priest" laughing to death; forgetting to take off his sunglasses; throwing the "No Smoking" sign indiscriminately... The funny burden is constant, polite and respectful, just skin. Mamma Mia is fun to pronounce. (You need to learn the small language quickly.) Next time, there will be one more content in the confession: the taxi driver killed the priest. Omg.

HELSINKI

The style of painting changed suddenly, and all of a sudden the roots of the ears were clean. "A night outside Moscow" comes to mind. Maybe it was because I was tired at the end, or maybe it was because the rhythm of the last paragraph was slow. I didn't listen to MiG's story too much, but I felt the sadness on MiG's face in the end. The hugs of the big men at the time of farewell have a kind of iron man's tenderness that makes people aftertaste.

I actually found out the details, and the whole drama echoes across it!

One, two, three, and five all have bridges to get off the bus and give money, and the dialogues are all sublimating the theme. One, two, three, and four drivers all scold passers-by:

Corgi: Can you drive, asshole.

Youyou: What are you looking at, my family affairs, get out.

The black driver was scolded: Are you blind?

Italian driver: Yes, one-way street, idiot.

Should go back and run over them.

One and three: There is a saying "don't look for it"; Corgi pressed chewing gum and blind girl poked cigarette butts.

One, four: the bridge section for smoking in the car.

Two, three, five: No two tigers are allowed in one car, more than three people will be noisy.

3, 4: Blind woman and Italian driver "I can see again like a blind man miraculously", African passengers "driving at night without glasses" and priest "It is not safe to drive with sunglasses at night"; Braille signs in black drivers' cars and Italian No smoking sign for driver.

After watching it, I feel that every character in the whole play is full of contrasting effects. If you know more about the background culture, the look and feel should be better, and it will be easier to get some points.

(I just want to record some points that I paid attention to when watching the movie. Welcome to share, correct and popularize knowledge, and do not accept condescending pulls.)

    Ten years of videos lying on the hard drive. Last night, after recognizing her in the Wild Rose of Paris, I decided to give her all four stars.

    Under the mottled neon light and shadow, wanderers linger in the city at night, seeing all the joys and sorrows of the world, but also taking us to appreciate the architecture, temperament and style of different cities. Five mixed stories that took place in different places at the same time: ①The rash girl who does not pursue the dream of being a star and wants to be a mechanic—a choice about ideals; ②The old immigrant from East Germany lost his way in Brooklyn—a metaphor for confusion East Germany; ③ a blind woman who doesn’t care about the driver’s skin color—calling for racial equality to eliminate discrimination; ④ an old driver with sunglasses confessing his bizarre sexual fetish experience to a priest—the collision of religion and lust; There is always someone worse off than you. New York is the best, small meets big. It is not only the confusion of the individual, but also the loss and despair of the entire race and the entire country.
