Nick stayed in the pile of things on the lawn while drinking.
A black kid dangled beside him. Nick's car was taken back by the company, and he rode out on the black kid's bicycle to buy alcohol, and brought back coke and snacks to the black kid by the way. They are like brothers and sisters, eating roasted bacon in the morning and selling things together.
There is also a newly moved neighbor, a pregnant female photographer. Late at night when Nick was addicted to alcohol but had no alcohol to drink, he handed him a glass of water and a few pills, and waited for him to get better before returning home.
They are all very common plots, even if they are placed in a somewhat absurd background: the seemingly unpretentious alcoholic person lives on the lawn in front of his house with a bunch of messy things.
Among the sundries are his parents’ old records and simple cameras-they have become "antiques" in the American sense; there is a memorial album from his high school days, in which there is a girl who wrote: Your kind heart is a diamond .
The items are sold, and the alcohol is quit. The wife asked her to give him the house keys and divorce papers, saying that the house should belong to her. Maybe he has to start a new life, just like a female photographer leaving Sun City under his reminder and restarting her married life.
When the movie ended, I was surprised: Is it all over? Then I thought about it, and felt that this is a complete story, like a cut from everyday life, and put it on the big screen in a dark projection hall.
There is nothing thrilling, and there is no need for it.
You like this movie but don't promote it, just like you have had a dull and thoughtful day and don't feel the need to repeat it.
At the end of the film, Nick puts a box of "Playboy" magazines as a gift
at the door of another pair of neighbors- if you have lived on the lawn in front of your house, you will inevitably learn the secrets of the neighbor's nightlife. People hide in their houses, you don't have to expose him, and you don't have to be stingy with a kind joke.
These are not revealing plots. Because you know the life of a person for a day, but you still inevitably carry the loss and expectation that you already have in life itself.
