A frustrated life also has a smile

The magic of the movie is sitting in the house, but you can taste the ups and downs of life all over the world. Without reading this "Can You Forgive Me", I have no idea how poor a New York writer can be.

The movie is not very good, but it touches nerves. The jazz song of Norah Joans in the opening contrasts with a frustrated writer who is 51 years old and awkward. It is also about bookstores and letters. It is not the graceful restraint of the classic "84 Charing Cross Street"; it is also about life constraints. , Can't match Shen Sanbai Yunniang's impoverished elegance, this is the story of a lonely woman who only has the love of a cat struggling in the world. What touched me was the performance of the two actors. They were true, cruel, and talented. They were nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor at the same time.

The heroine is not cute, but it makes people sympathetic. No matter how humble souls are, they must have a place of their own, let alone an educated and once best-selling author. The comfort comes from the falsified letter skills accidentally discovered after Jiang Lang's exhaustion brings back the long-lost sense of accomplishment. The comfort also comes from the warmth and laughter of the collision of two wine glasses, who are also in the world. After all, he is still bullied and crushed by fate. My own choice is strange. No one can write this autobiography from this, and it completes the movie.

Real people and real things are nothing strange. At this moment, among the crowds hurriedly passing by in countless cities in the world at dusk, I don’t know how many lives we don’t understand, and everyone cherishes them.
