"Stranger Than Paradise" is the same as director James R. Jarmusch's other movies—boring and smelling of alcohol. He designed enough tortuous and bizarre wandering journeys for the characters, and then tried his best to attach his signature "feeling of powerlessness" to the film, so that people on and off the screen can only "track" to nothingness. The film contains all the elements of a road film: the journey, the scenery, the gathering and separation of young people, the pursuit and loss. But there are not many good scenery that can be seen, only some gas stations, chimneys, dilapidated factories and crude oil pipelines accompanied by steam, this glimpse of the American industry in the 1980s. The large black screen part of the film gives the film a breathing rhythm, and also gives the audience room to think, so that the audience can digest the scene they just saw—even if they don’t have to think intellectually. The black screen part also means that the audience is deprived of a moment, and this is also closely related to the theme of the film, that is, something has been taken away. These sporadic references to death make the film extremely fascinating

When the three of us went out to play and slept in an extra bed, it seemed that I lost the fight against UNO, but it was very comfortable to sleep on, so I forgive the two of them.
