Some people are just passersby

After learning that President Reagan was assassinated because of this movie, I came to watch it. After watching it, I thought about it a lot and felt that it was necessary to write something. There is a scene in the movie where Lavis called Bessie to apologize to her, but Bessie ignored him, so an angry Lavis rushed into Bessie's office and asked her why she ignored him. For this scene, I think many people have a feeling of deja vu. They will definitely encounter this in their life. They were talking and laughing just a moment ago, but suddenly disappeared for some reason, and they are completely strangers. I can fully understand how Lavis felt at the time. In addition to being sad, it should be more angry. From the moment she was asked out of the office, Lavis and her were over.
But what is more positive is that Lavis did not give up on himself, but worked hard to make himself stronger, and successfully saved a girl and got into the newspaper. At the end of the film, there is such a scene, Lavis drives Bessie home, and at the door of the house, Bessie got out of the car, stood by the car and wanted to say something, but didn't say it, and finally just asked how much . Maybe she was waiting for Lavis to get out of the car, and then she wanted to invite him up for a drink or listen to the record Lavis gave her earlier. Kravis just smiled, said goodbye, and drove away. "Goodbye" here should mean never seeing again. Even if there is a goodbye, it's just two passersby, or a taxi driver and a passenger. If Bessie asks how much, Lavis should say $20. , that's all. To Lavis, Bessie was just a passer-by in his life.
You will meet many people in your life, and some people are destined to be just passers-by in life.

    He rarely talks, has no friends, doesn't know how to fall in love, relies on porn videos to get by, his parents contact him once a year, and he doesn't know how to spend the money he saves from work. He does not take drugs or whoring, and is as honest as a stone lion. Although he yearns for the climax of life every day, he mistaken the joke of fate as a rare love in the world. Even though the taxi driver who has no sense of existence in this metropolis has experienced gun battles, killed people, and was even portrayed by the media as a hero who saves a girl who has lost his footing, when the passion subsides, life is still like a wheel passing by, crushing it day after day. Overwhelming all joy, the eyes are filled with nothing but despair. Even if he met the lover he dreamed of, there was only happy sadness and a sentence "So long". If the heart is not at this moment, no matter how deep the gaze is, it will be empty.

    A / Characters are not only free viewpoints in the environment, but also embedded in the center of the environment. In the former, the characters rise quietly to form a perspective or bird's-eye view that breaks through the flesh, while in the latter, the environment becomes a scene that contaminates the eyes of the characters. This unique viewing structure makes it impossible for the audience to stay in a solidified position. They must constantly adjust the distance between their thinking and the characters, so that the characters can maintain a vivid state of continuous reconstruction. The strategy of subverting the traditional Hollywood narrative is not in irony or role reversal, but in allowing it to continue with the dense reality and keep it open.
