In life, we all take a taxi, because it is convenient and for various reasons. Similarly, wherever there are people, there will be stories, and the intersection of people who don’t know each other produces everything...

There are five short stories in the movie, starting at 7:07 night in New York...

The first story: The scout was looking for an 18-year-old inexperienced actress. She fell in love with a female taxi driver. The female driver calmly refused because she wanted to save money to become a mechanic.

The second story: A new driver who came to New York from a foreign country has no experience in driving. The other protagonist of the car that can't be reached can only drive for him, pulling his relatives in the middle, and the humorous driver harmonizes the two customers. The relationship between the three people met on a cold New York night.

The third paragraph: The black driver was ridiculed by two customers in the back row while driving. He couldn't bear it and threw the two down. On the way, he drew a blind woman, carefully asking the blind woman to guess her skin color. , The blind girl said nonchalantly about Africa, expressing sympathy for the blind girl, but she was ridiculed by the blind girl. In the end, the poor blind girl said the fare for the blind girl was given as much as she did not accept it. With a smile, the image of the blind girl suddenly became taller.

The fourth paragraph: The driver pulled the priest, but because he did not take into account the situation, he forcibly prayed atonement for his relationship with his sister-in-law, which led to the priest's sudden death, and the crime was getting deeper and deeper.

The fifth paragraph: The driver drew three drunk customers. It turned out that one of the customers was smashed in a new car and fired today. His daughter was unmarried and her wife was divorced and fell asleep drunk. The other two customers listened to the driver's plain explanation that their daughter was born prematurely. For four months, I wanted to give up the child but survived tenaciously, and finally prepared to open my heart and prepare to love the child when the child died.

The film tells the story of ordinary people through five stories. The society is in various forms, and the taxi is equivalent to the window of the society, showing a variety of intertwined scenes of dreams and reality. The characteristic of Jiamuxu is to take pictures of the wandering and hustle and bustle of the city. Feeling desolate.

    #CC# The rhythm is a very soothing late-night TAXI story, the language — the classification of the video is similar to Abbas' "The Taste of Cherry", of course, in addition to the theme of life and death, the multi-camera visual interaction It also presents the whole-part dialogues wisely or recklessly. Everyone is constantly modifying the borderline of their own psychology. Some emotions that are quite restrained by [individual] are broken down, blocked by [others], and then dissipated. Let all sorrows end before the sun rises. Changes in driver behavior have also been observed in street systems in different cities, such as the wide lanes of Los Angeles; the three-way intersection in New York; the many winding streets of Paris; paths with a narrow radius of stone walls in Rome; and buildings along streets in Helsinki dispersion. From the perspective of the city [capillaries], these five stories are quite warm.

    Jarmusch, who is always "on the road", tells the loneliness of modern people with five short stories about taxis. They may have dreams of being a mechanic, or they just want to gain a firm foothold in a big city. The long night is only with strangers. A few words of small talk from passengers can relieve some loneliness. I love Paris the most, the blind girl is very expressive, Bernini's comedy style is too heavy, I don't know why Jarmusch loves him so much, Helsinki is Aki's royal male protagonist, looking friendly.
