      Meet on a narrow road in my own time, and then grow old

      We, calm and stubborn, meet the narrow road of our own time. But I want to be nostalgic for the sound of the night clock, grandma's thoughts all day long, and run counter to the fashion of young people and the freedom of modern times. But this kind of evening bell is enough to ring our instincts as biological human beings, from amniotic fluid to lace, from the nurse's butt slap to the mother's saying good night. So the blood flowed like this, flowed through countless days and nights, and...

      Avalon

      Years ago I have lived in Baltimore for a while, and as a habit, I usually try to understand the history and the character of the city better through books and movies besides the day-to-day life, so I watched the Baltimore series by Barry Levinson. Barry Levinson has directed many great films including Rain man, Good morning, Vietnam, Bugsy (with Warren Beatty and Annette Bennings), the Natural (with Robert Redford), Wag the dog (with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro), Donnie Brasco (with Al Pacino...

      Life is a casino! Elijah took the initiative to apologize, hhh, it's too good, you can even find all family conflicts in this drama, it's amazing! I still have a lot of headaches now, but my family is my family, even if...even my grandma and his language do not understand, but they are still closely connected! The family at around 1:14 is really wonderful. Is it...

    Background creation

    Barry Levinson, a director who emerged in Hollywood in the 1980s, admired the natural development of the plot, paid attention to the characterization of the characters, can keenly capture the expressive details, and has his own directing style. His "Rain Man" won 8 nominations at the 61st Oscar and finally won 4 Golden Awards including the Best Director Award. The semi-autobiographical work "Avalon" is Levinson's third film. It...

    Movie quotes

    • Jules Kaye: When I was a little younger than you, I used to think the world was made up of big people and little people. And that's the way it would always stay. And then I always wondered why sinks were too high. You had to climb up to wash your face. Cupboards, too high. The hole in the toilet was too big. Nothing. Nothing was made for us. It's just a world of big people and little people. You never got any older and nobody ever died.

    • Sam Krichinsky: I found the man who knew the name Krichinsky. He was a little man with big shoes. I'll never forget him. He had such big shoes! They were brand new, beautiful shoes. He told me this was how he made his living. He would break in shoes for the wealthy. Stuff them with newspaper and walk in them. I said, "What a country is this. What a country." The wealthy didn't even have to break in their own shoes.

    • Sam Krichinsky: On the weekend, we made music. What music it was! We liked American music. We were very popular ourselves. One night I looked across the floor and I saw this young, lovely girl. I wasn't handsome and I didn't have a beautiful body. But when I touched a woman they fell in love with me.
