Goodbye, forever

Came across this film by chance on a Friday night, and the scene is all too familiar to anyone who has been to/lived in New York. Every time I walk into Grand Central Station, I feel like I'm instantly transported into a movie.

The distrust between strangers at the beginning, the bitterly cold New York winter, and the shitty day of the two protagonists are all rendering a lonely and cold atmosphere. Later in the story, the two sides slowly opened their hearts and were willing to tell a stranger about the softest and most sensitive parts of their hearts, nothing else. Sometimes they just wanted to find a listener in a foreign land, that's all. The funny thing is that we are always honest with strangers, but we want to flee in the next second when strangers brutally expose our pain points. "You just need to choose who you wanna struggle with."

In addition to the background music, what is laudable in the whole movie is the male protagonist's eyes in place, from the look in the bar looking for his ex-girlfriend, the kind of eyes that want to find but are afraid of four eyes The ambivalence of the connection, seeing the ex wanting to say anything but relying on a stranger to state his recent life situation, is a bit absurd and helpless. The old friend is already the old friend, maybe there is no need to meet again.

charming describes the male protagonist as perfect, except for his half-joking and bad eyes, and sometimes he is pitiful when he talks about emotions (talking about parting stories and parting reluctance)

. Destined to set foot on the train, the male protagonist is also a unique means of confession by making time and space calls (it really is an old driver), whether the two sides will meet again I don’t know, but sometimes the encounter between people is doomed, when they part again, This walk may take away the fate of a lifetime. . . . .

Encounter is the best arrangement of God.

    A lonely episode in life, a romantic encounter under the bright lights. CE regards this kind of art as its directorial debut, which is both conservative and flattering. Despite the traces of Linklater, and despite the bowl of love chicken soup, it is still beautiful. Although the film itself is quite satisfactory, it is better than expected. The BGM and some shots are quite right, and it is very foul to shoot myself so good-looking. Come on, Taoist!
