Having nothing to do, no job, and gamble to make some money is pretty unreliable, but passable, so Willie and Eddie have a lot of time, and by luck, they make a fortune to find Ava. They asked for directions in the car, and the impatient man said he didn't know how to get to Yorkcliffe, and he was waiting for the bus. "Where do you work?" "In the factory." The car drove away, and Willie said, "He's so pathetic." Actually, traveling isn't a big deal, it doesn't change the passage of time, and it doesn't The most original and essential way of existence of people has an impact, and space does not change existence.
"The funny thing is, I thought I was going to a new place, and everything seemed to be the same as before."
If this fact is known, it will not be considered lucky. It will break the illusion, it will make people helpless and fearful, and they just want to escape, and escape is the wrong answer in this fact.
On the one hand, while fleeing is wrong, fleeing creates a constant illusion: a new beginning. Waiting for the passage of time will correct this delusion, because life now becomes the same as it was before. On the other hand, if there is no such illusion, that person seems to have lost a bit of positive thoughts, and it is not too beautiful.
Ava and Willie are both escaping their traditional families, coming to America from Hungary and starting to become Americans, looking to be modern and free. In fact, none of them got their way, one had no job, had nothing to do, and was arrogant, and one was still unable to be independent and needed to live with a stubborn Hungarian aunt. The word "escape" reminds me of Luigi in Modiano's "Cafe of Youth", she continues to live by constantly fleeing, separating from old places and people, and connecting with new people, only then she Just feel alive. This emptiness makes one feel like standing on a vast expanse of land, with no buildings, no landmarks, no road signs, and the only indication you can feel is: time.
When I saw three people standing in the snow, standing by the beach, everything didn't happen as they had imagined, they were still the same as they were, the arrogant was still arrogant, the stupid was still stupid, the closed was still closed , then I suddenly remembered that when I was about 8.9 years old, I longed for someone to change my life and change my life that was constantly repeated. For example, my cousin came to my house for a few days, and my grandparents came to my house for a few months. It's not that I can be happy with them, but that they have changed my daily life and are by my side. For example, at that time, I felt like my whole body was frozen in a large transparent ice cube. From the ice cube, I could clearly see people moving outside, but I would not really touch others. The only thing I could feel was emptiness. , and time flies hard and fast. It's hard time.
I think the best part of the movie is at the end, the absurd misunderstanding by the beach was not carefully designed, the black man gave Ava the money after a few words, I felt like the director shoved the money directly to her from the side, Then let her continue to act, although a little clumsy, but the plot suddenly became tense.
Ava doesn't have much nostalgia for life in the United States. She didn't choose another city in the United States, but when she flew back to Europe today, where can she choose? Budapest. Budapest is the capital of Hungary and the only option is to go back to Hungary! go back? If it were me, I would also think carefully about whether to wait for someone to come after me, or go back to the original place. At this time, the other two won the money and went back to the hotel to find the note. They were about to come to the airport to find Ava, but were told that she had already boarded the plane back to Budapest. Willie got on the plane alone to bring Ava back, and eventually the plane took off and flew to Budapest. Eddie thought they had flown back to Budapest together, and drove off muttering. Just when she thought everything was over, when the camera turned, Ava went back to the hotel alone. She was about to wait for the two to come back, but she saw that the luggage had been taken away. At this time, they were speechless. At this time, the three people went to different places, and they were not what they wanted to go, and where did they want to go? They don't know. Only Ava knew she was not going back to Hungary. Hungary is the place where the past escaped, the place of rupture, where there is only time and no indication.
Not going back to Hungary.
