another me in the world

Today, I finally took out this long-coveted film in my spare time and finished watching it. When I saw the 27-year-old silly girl running across the streets of New York again and again, I couldn't help laughing. I couldn't help thinking of myself. The strange thing about him is very similar to himself - both of them are more or less strange people. But looking down at Francis, I was surprised that this was just another parallel time and space myself, or in other words, many ordinary little people in parallel time and space.

Fran and Sophie lived in an apartment in New York City, and the two had a close relationship, as she put it herself: "We are the same person with different hair." Everything seemed clear: graduating from college, Rent an apartment in the center of the city with a friend that I like, and do my favorite job. Apart from work, I open the bay window most of the day, sit on the windowsill to smoke and read, or stick my head out the window and make faces at my friends. This kind of life may not be very rich but poetic to the extreme. However, life is not always smooth sailing, and there are not romantic gardens everywhere, and it is true that reality is always cruel. Sophie had dating partner Fran had to choose to move out. At the beginning, she shared the rent with two boys. The three of them had a common topic. They went crazy together and made trouble together, but Fran, who was unemployed, was unable to face the fact that the two boys paid her rent in advance. Fran started her first long-distance trip. ——Back to Sacramento, California, where Greta paid her first tribute to her hometown in the movie. After rehabilitating in her hometown and returning to New York, she continued to wander. For the second time, she planned to go to Paris to discuss her dance career with her boss, but it backfired. If she accepted the boss's proposal, she would no longer dance, so she refused. After moving house again and again and looking for a part-time job, Fran finally settled down in the assistant dormitory. When I met Sophie who came back from Japan again, I could only tell her to watch it. I didn't work in a troupe. That's the truth. Everything looks exhausted.

Many people label this movie "comedy", but I couldn't laugh at all, and I couldn't stop laughing at the whole movie. Where is this comedy? This is clearly the life of each of us. The protagonist Fran's life is not bad or not. She loves dancing, reading and all kinds of strange but interesting things. She likes to chat with friends, but she becomes undatable, talkative and topic-ending in the eyes of friends. By. In real life, except for the close Sophie, no one wants to listen to her talking about her relationship with Su, and no one wants to listen to her talk about dance, Sacramento and Paris. Maybe everyone is more interested in that Is the new dress sexy, how is the stock market recently, who is the latest date. No matter how good the relationship between Su and Fran is, everyone has their own lives, and ultimately they have to face their future livelihoods alone. Fran constantly looking for someone to take in actually means that everyone's life is not static. When you graduate from college and no longer experience social changes as a student, you must accept that you constantly leave your comfort zone, learn to live alone, and learn to adapt to the new environment. When questioned by others, Fran kept explaining to them: "I'm a dancer." Even if he had left the dance group, he could only stop and watch others dance when he was driven to the side. The departure of friends, the sense of urgency in life, and the growing distance between her dreams and her dreams left Fran a heavy burden one by one, causing her to lose sleep on the first night in Paris (or the air ticket bought on a loan). Take sleeping pills and sleep until 4 pm the next day. The disappointment in life is nothing but this. When you are confused and overwhelmed, you have no motivation to act. Even if he was eating bread in Paris, he had to tell Su with a smile, "I'm still on tour with a dance troupe." I wanted to find my closest friend to complain that the international long-distance charge was too expensive, but I didn't want to say anything. I was helpless.

"However, life has not been so bad all the time. Fran did not hold the mentality of chasing fame and fortune in New York, but just insisted on pursuing his dream. She is not different from ordinary people, and the unhappiness of life has been entangled with her. However, Fran turned the defeat into victory. Fran smiled indifferently when others provoked her relationship with Sue "You look older than Sophie"; even in In front of a table full of powerful friends, she doesn't care about the misery of her life, and talks about her life; when she forgets her wallet on a date with others, she rushes home to get her wallet; the boss proposes that the choreography party in the office has a better future, and she firmly believes in her own ideas. . Fran is not a lucky one, nor is he a lost soul. Fran has a steady state of mind when faced with difficulties countless times. Although he is anxious, more often he pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, and continued to think of ways. After arguing with Su and accepting Su who was drunk, the two of them went back to the past when they lay on the bed facing each other and slept with each other.

After Su sobered up, he went out barefoot to chase Su who was already in the car. All the friends have changed, but Fran is still the same person. Fortunately, Fran's dance career was a great success, and life was not as embarrassing as before. Close friends continued to love Fran, and everyone continued to tell jokes. At the end of the movie, she changed her surname to Ha. She was as tough as the lady bird in Gretel's lens. She would face it with a smile in her future life, continue to be that "optimist", and continue to enjoy her clumsy life.

    The movie itself may be worth 5 stars, but since I've been watching it with my own experience, so f**k it, I don't want to watch it a second time, maybe I'm the cheapest audience, and it's a dream to watch Life.

    In the middle, I saw the handsome and dead Adam Driver wearing a hat, which once gave me the illusion that I was watching the condensed version of Girls, and it turned out that I still love Mamie a little more than Grace. There are quite a few parts in the play that make me want to cry, But the end result is quite interesting. It even makes one believe that the colors are brightened up.
