sad dark humor

From the beginning of the film, there is a sense of loneliness and loneliness. A group of 7 people was alone in the empty station, looking at the people with anticipation, and found that they were not picked up. "Let's take a photo everyone..." At this time, I realized how cold the film was--after arranging clothes and hats for a long time, a cleaner pushed a cart slowly past a row of people waiting to be photographed, and stopped at the end of the captain. Start cleaning the trash can in front of you.

By this time, I already liked this movie. The captain raised his hand, and he was very familiar with the cleaner's expression of hesitating to speak. Probably we are all like this.

The captain seems to be the coldest person, a stubborn and stubborn old man with a big nose. Seymour was a sensitive, earnest man with a neat beard who always wanted to be the conductor. Hadley's slick flirting with the information desk waitress was evident from the very beginning, "Do you like chet baker?"

Because of Hadley's flirting, asking for directions and asking the wrong direction, baker was mixed into the place name, a line People came to a deserted town.

I love how the wind squeaks the stop sign when the grainy piano tunes. The last bus had already left, so they had to stay. The restaurant owner's wife helped them think of a way. Two people lived in her house, two people slept in the restaurant, and three people slept in a friend's house.

This night seems to have been very long. The encounters of several people have turned everyone's stories into corners from different angles. There is nothing mysterious, but it seems that you can always see your own silence and sadness, as well as the dark humor of life.

Suddenly I don't want to write anymore, and then look back at this film, the specific plots that make people cry and laugh seem to be difficult to describe in simple words.

"Maybe, you know, maybe your band won't have a gig tomorrow and it can just be over. No sadness, no joy. You know. Maybe in a room like this... with a light and a sleeper Little bb, and ... and tons of loneliness."
It's a little difficult for him to speak English, the quiet room, the warm-colored walls, and the way a baby sleeps. In the wedding photo that looks beaming, the groom hugs the bride, how joyful it is.
I was so impressed by the dinner table conversation in this family, the angry confrontation between the two couples, the recollection of the old love between the two men. The men sang love songs loudly, and the voices gradually began to fight. I laughed and thought the awkward atmosphere was over, but the women picked up their empty plates and left the table with a little anger. Made me a little stunned. The men didn't care and continued to sing that joyful and romantic song.

I suddenly remembered that when I cut my hair last night, Uncle Wang said: Girls nowadays are too selfish, you know. I said, everyone is selfish now, right? Men are also selfish... He said: Girls today are too smart, they know their strengths and weaknesses very early, and then they must make the best use of everything to seize the opportunity to maximize their own value, of course I Now I'm talking about finding a man.

I don't know what he thought about his unemployment for a year. Anyway, when he told the band that he was working, his wife said bitterly, "Yes!" It's been almost a year between works! ! The angry look didn't offend me too much. In the wedding photo, she was hugged by her husband and smiled like a flower, but it made me sting. It must have been very happy then. He looked at the photo with Seymour helplessly and with a slight smile, and said to Seymour, who had visited for the first time, at that time, it was stupid, right? ~

Tina's corner
Hadley asks Tina: Don't you like it here?
it's my life here you know, i've got used to it. but sometimes, you know, sometimes i feel, maybe, i could..the
camera turns to her artistic photos of her youth, but i met my first husband, you know Tina pulled the key out of

the keyhole and stood outside the door and said to Tafti: I thought we were going to let me relive the great love in that Arabian movie tonight, but like everything else, I got it smashed.
When she opened the door again, Tafty said: "You know, my wife actually died because of me.
Two silhouettes on the orange glass door stand alone on the left and the right. He spoke of the deaths of his wife and son in a calm tone, as if he were telling someone else's story. Another slow background music.


In addition, the scene where Hadley teaches Happy to pick up girls is funny, funny and a little helpless, and the background music of the ice rink is even more invincible.


It's a good movie that tells a lot of stories in a short amount of time. No surprises, but very quiet.



It would be nice if life could be so romantic.
