Life always has its ups and downs, and destiny has its own ideas

7 points. Very dark plot, too real. An old woman who pursues romantic love, a scumbag writer who plays with women's hearts, an innocent girl with high eyes and a low hand, and a reckless man who cannot be spoiled by his wife and daughter. I thought that Americans live freely and love freely, but I didn't expect that Americans in the 1950s would be as obsessive and selfish as the introverted Asians.

The four people living in the seaside playground are like the Ferris wheel of the playground. They meet and know each other at the low point, selfish and restless at the peak, and finally return to the original point.

The son's mental illness could not be cured, and the daughter, who had returned for a short time, was taken back to her original place, seeking true love and wrongly paying the truth. Life always has its ups and downs, and destiny has its own ideas.

    USA #999. As good as the cinematography is, this drama is as horrific. There is basically no likable actor. Boss Jia is an amateur player no matter what, and Fei Wen is too hard. Just look at the performance of the big devil in [Blue Jasmine] and you will know the difference. Of course, it would be fun if you had to refer the play to the old man's own gossip (the problem is Woody Allen is not Hong Changxiu...). Almost all compliments can be given to photography. As a meta-narrative, the "symbolism" of Boss Jia's monologue is reflected in the strong dramatic expressionism of Stellaro's use of light, which is quite suitable for the stage performance. Of course, the contrast between red and blue is really amazingly accurate and moving.

    Wien/The light, shadow and color are so beautiful, I enjoy watching it on the big screen. I want to see that Chinese courtyard. The old man is still very realistic, and everyone is empty in the end. Don't fall in love with literary youth, and don't pin your hope of self-salvation on others.
