meaningless life

I love this movie.

At the beginning, he said, "How cheap is this little girl", and the dog said, "Because she is the only one who has to live", okay. Then I found that the male protagonist was also cheap, "to the point of being cheap."

A very clever way of cheating money, and the little girl is still kind. She liked President Roosevelt and she believed that everyone would have a better life. In the end, she also had the piano, and she still chose to leave.

Why leave?

Wealth and poverty appear alternately, turning a circle back to the origin, and this is not our meaningless life.

    The combination of "When Happiness Comes Knocking" and "The Male and Female Thief", or it can be said that it is a road version of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".

    Too beautiful! Humorous and witty story design Some scenes are similar to a French comedy A hypocrite, a little liar, a loving "father and daughter" The witty road to "entrepreneurship" is full of warmth and laughter

Paper Moon quotes

  • Addie Loggins: I want my two hundred dollars.

    Moses Pray: I don't have your two hundred dollars no more and you know it.

    Addie Loggins: If you don't give me my two hundred dollars I'm gonna tell a policeman how you got it and he'll make you give it to me because it's mine.

    Moses Pray: But I don't have it!

    Addie Loggins: Then get it!

    Cafe Waitress: [walks over after Moses slams his fist on the table] How we doin', Angel Pie? We gonna have a little dessert when we finish up our hot dog?

    Addie Loggins: I don't know.

    Cafe Waitress: What do you say, Daddy? Why don't we give Precious a little dessert if she eats her dog?

    Moses Pray: Her name ain't Precious.

  • Moses Pray: [calling up to Addie on the hill] Let's go!

    Trixie Delight: Hurry up, Doctor. This baby gots to go winky tinky!

    Moses Pray: [patting Trixie's shoulder] Don't worry.

    [calling up to Addie again]

    Moses Pray: Hey!

    [Moses starts walking up the hill]

    Moses Pray: Come on, we're ready! Come on, now!

    Addie Loggins: I ain't comin'!

    Moses Pray: You listen here, child...

    Addie Loggins: No, I won't listen here.

    Moses Pray: What the heck's up with you then?

    Addie Loggins: I wanna sit in front! And how come we ain't workin' no more?

    Moses Pray: 'Cause we're on vacation, that's why, and Miss Delight and me are sittin' in front because we are two grown-ups and that's where grown-ups do the sittin'! And little children do not tell grown-ups what to do with their lives, you understand that?

    Addie Loggins: Well, she ain't my grown-up and I ain't plannin' no more to sit in the back. Not for no cow!

    Moses Pray: Will you keep your voice down? And Miss Delight ain't no cow. She's a proper woman. She has a high school diploma. And right now she's got to go to the bathroom, so you get on down to the car!

    Addie Loggins: She always has to go to the bathroom! She must have a bladder the size of a peanut! Well, I ain't gettin' back in that car... not until she gets out of it!

    [disgusted, Moses goes back to the car and talks to Trixie]

    Trixie Delight: [making her way up the hill] Hey, what's up, kiddo? Daddy says you're wearin' a sad face. Ain't good to have a sad face. Hey! Hey! How'd you like a coloring book? Would you like that? You like Mickey the Mouse?

    [Trixie trips and falls]

    Trixie Delight: Oh, son of a bitch!
