Romance is positive, innocent, crazy, pessimistic.
The temperament that attracts people all at once, a phenomenon that can't see reality clearly, wants to be simple but won't be given.
Some kind of persistence, desperately trying to grab something, but always empty-handed in the end. The reason for this is that the post-decadent generation has been swept up in the economic wave of the new world, and its ethos and epoch are dislocated, and it is impossible to correct it again. Adolescent, neurotic. Different from the literary young woman played by Yuan Quan in "The Flower of the Heart", the former is a head-to-head confrontation without changing, and the latter is a compromise.
The concepts instilled by the parents are different. China still has some traditional women's moral education. China does not yet have a real middle class. The main social resources (including conceptual resources) are still in the hands of the post-60s and post-70s. Therefore, the post-80s and post-90s encountered freedom The resistance appears unprecedentedly huge.
The parents in "American Lover" met each other on social media. Without restraint, it is a state of freedom, which has a certain impact on my daughter.

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.
