In the movie, Blake said wildly, "A woman who works in the government during the day and a superhero at night is like the essence of the United States and will become her own myth. I think it can be called "American Mistress"." She said a sentence "It will become her own myth", 85 minutes of her own "myth".

The film tells the story of Tracy, a freshman who has just arrived in New York. After meeting Brooke, who is about to become her step-sister, she not only knows the charming side of New York under the leadership of her sister who likes to try and has a wide range of interests, but also observes New York from the side of her sister. The story behind the guest. The film is co-written by director Noah Baumbach and starring Greta Gerwig. The lines reveal the shadow of Greta's New York life. It is an independent film work with a very personal style.

Brooke is an interior designer and a part-time tutor and fitness instructor. His dream is to open a mom's restaurant. At the end of the film, Brooke failed to find a restaurant investor. After breaking up with her boyfriend, she was about to move out of New York. She packed her bags without makeup and said, "New York is not the New York I imagined... Maybe Los Angeles can give me Bring good luck..." I called her departure "escape", thinking that one city failed her efforts and she wanted to try another city.
Watched it for the second time and saw a lot of detail. She couldn't hide the nervousness of seeing investors alone the second after she was chatting at the banquet. She learned that her father gave up marrying Tracy's mother and cried, "Please, don't give up". She was getting investment from her ex-boyfriend. Then she changed her mind and gave up voluntarily. After she learned that Trish wrote a novel based on her, she got angry and quarreled and reconciled before leaving... She tried every possibility, and her life was colorful.


I have to say that the two screenwriters talked about a good life. Brooke is not shy about sharing the mentality of each transition. You think she is optimistic and talented by nature, that's what she got by killing the negative energy in her life; you think she's versatile and brilliant, it's what she has accumulated year after year; you think she's great, nothing It can hurt, but you also need to know that she is also sensitive and afraid of wrestling... The film ends with a voiceover from Trish's book: "She is the last cowboy, life is only romantic and failure. The world has changed, she is like this It's a very lonely role for people to be at a loss, to be a guiding light for people..."
Those who can be seen in front of the stage are beautiful, and those behind the scenes that cannot be seen are strong. I am dazzling and thank you for coming to applaud, I stepped back and hope you wait and see, those endings that are seen through by others will not prevent me from starting again and again.
Later, I thought of the title of this time and called it "I still wear a crown".

Mistress America quotes

  • [Last lines]

    Tracy: [narrating] Meadow had made rich fat women less fat, and rich stupid kids less stupid, and lame rich men less lame. And she wanted so badly to be on the other side... to be fat and stupid and lame and rich. But what she couldn't see most of all, more than she couldn't see that she was never going to get the restaurant, was that those people were *nothing* compared to her. They were matches to her bonfire. She was the last cowboy, all romance and failure. The world was changing, and her kind didn't have anywhere to go. Being a beacon of hope for lesser people... is a lonely business.

  • Tracy: It was clear that the thing that Meadow wanted most in the world, the thing that she wanted to define her, to give her a place to put her time and talents, her everything, the restaurant, it was clear that it will never happen. The most surprising thing was that Meadow was actually surprised by it. She could see the world with painful accuracy, but she couldn't see herself or her fate. And because I was in love with her I decided I couldn't see it either.
