Not everyone can change their surname to Ha

Frances reminds me of a female classmate when studying abroad. She and Frances have similar hair colors, similar shoulder widths, and similar facial features, and their smiles are simply carved out of the same mold, unadorned and pure.

There are many girls like this on the American roads. They have average appearance and average IQ. They play foolishly every day, drink and smoke, and date boys who have met recently. They are always worried about the next month's rent, but they have their own. Hobbies, have their own dreams. They are so busy every day that they don't have time to clean up the house. Frances is such a girl, it can't be more ordinary, it can't be more real, it can't be more pure.

There was a scene that made me sweat for Frances the most. It was not that she quarreled with Sophie or she was fired. It was the scene where she sent someone to the fence and had dinner with a group of lawyers, financial and other elites. The topics they talked about were totally unconventional, and even Frances's bear-like bread was particularly dazzling, making me blush for her. But Frances was so innocent that he was completely unaware of the embarrassment. He still went his own way, pulling the elites to talk about life and ideals. So there was that amazing monologue, and the others in the room seemed to have admired her. I was so proud of her, and finally regained my recklessness and vulgarity. Unexpectedly, she even asked a lawyer to borrow a house in Paris, and then flew to Paris. Of course, this trip may be the most expensive and worst trip she has ever experienced.

Frances's purity allows her to have no burden other than money. She can break up with her boyfriend for friendship, take debts for the dream of going to Paris, and run back to school for the dignity of being a dancer. The screenwriter arranged a happy ending for her, so stupid people are stupid.

Whenever I see a good movie, I can’t help but wonder what would happen if the same story happened next to me. Will there be people like Frances? There may be, but most people would not choose a life like Frances. Compared with her, we are too complicated. There are too many things to think about, and the burden is heavier. Money, cars, houses, marriage and children, recognition by relatives and friends, compared with the people around. Sophie told Frances that she always felt that the two of them were competing, and Frances never thought so. Most of us would choose to live like Sophie, envious of Frances' simplicity, and then complain to her late at a certain stressful night, "I really don't want to live a life like this! I want to go back to the past. Ah, how carefree!" Then the next morning, I still held on to the days when I felt "tired", and even had a contemptuous sympathy for Frances at a certain time, and at the same time secretly glad that I did not choose to be with her. The same life.

Complicated, we always envy simple people, and then choose to be a coward.

    The tall Greta Geweige played the role of a silly eldest sister, sincere and awkwardly cute. Living in ideals and simplicity is always frustrating, but such a role makes people like it. Because we are also people who want to live in simplicity, even if it is only hope. The beauty lies in how to grasp the details, the emotional touch of some character details. The details of Francis’ feelings about friendship and the delicate relationship with her are quite interesting

    I was completely moved, following Babach's shots and Francis through New York (California and Paris also used soy sauce), the lines were cold and humorous, and the protagonists were cute and simple and charming. The suffering of life has been turned into self-deprecating self-deprecating by the movie, and what I really think in my heart is to say that it has no meaning. The whole film is the shadow of the new wave, I really like it
