      Goodbye life

      In 1985, the United States made a "Goodbye Life" directed by Savage Steve Holland and starring the young John Cusack. At the age of seventeen or eight, the sprouting of adolescence turned into a strong impulse. After the broken relationship, the young man Lane had no other tricks, but wanted to solve the swelling and pain through suicide. Unexpectedly, he met Jenny, a French exchange girl. The wonderful love started a new journey once again, and showed great power in the alpine...

      Crazy life

      It is precisely because of the good scores on IMDB and John Cusack, who I like, that I looked for it. The comedies in the 1980s are not as disgusting and spoof as the comedies in the 1980s. Only some silly people do some exaggeration. It looks very comfortable. Personally, I like the candlelight dinner between LANE and the French girl the most. It is so romantic that I specially went to listen to the song I have been arrested by you, in order to please the lovely French girl. Hi, it’s...

      In short, I have an inexplicable affection for that era. The swollen hairstyle and exaggerated costumes, although a bit funny, but sincere and uninhibited...

      Anyway, John Cusack has grasped this kind of thinking at a young age, which is particularly sensual. The essence of the nonsensical Xiao Wenqing...with or without folds on his face, it seems to me that they are all the same natural dramas.

      French girls are very cute, although they deliberately speak English with French...

      Still die

      I like this movie. From the poster to the plot to the movie music, it is very exciting, including the costume design, especially the French boarding girl. Another high school comedy starring Cusack by the screenwriter Holland is called One Crazy Summer (1986).

      This film is a typical black comedy with youth idol colors. Tells about a series of suicidal fantasies and real life of the protagonist high school boy Lane Meyer after falling out of love. Monique, a French girl living in a...

    • Paperboy: I want my two dollars.

    • Lane Myer: Monique, I just wanted to thank you... for everything.

      Lane Myer: Merci buckets.
