Dora pulled Joshua away, and in order to confess to the truck driver she met on the road, she grabbed the man opposite like a drowning man clinging to the driftwood in front of her. hand, the man looked at Joshua at the table with embarrassment and a little panic. Joshua looked at this scene dully, but his heart had already been clear. Dora, shaved and hot, was wiping her borrowed lipstick in the toilet carefully and awkwardly, waiting for her only for an empty table and the dust of the truck driving by.
Joshua asked Dora why the man was leaving, and Dora was annoyed. Joshua said the man was cowardly, and he said to Dora, "You are so much more beautiful with such a lipstick." At this time, Joshua did not look like Dora. The little devil who has been pulling all the way, and like a man, he is not only comforting her, but also admiring her and affirming her. Joshua is no longer a drag like an oil bottle. The two are standing on the same plane and talking, comfort and dependence are mutual; the relationship between the two is not like Dora left Joshua in the tavern again. When they met again, they were so ruthless and hostile and couldn't be separated. They didn't need to sit at two tables and talk from a distance. The two people who had nothing again sat next to each other. Joshua Quadola was very beautiful. He understands Dora's mood. This is a sharp turn in the relationship between the two. Before, the strong Dora and the weak Joshua had always been in a stalemate.
Lipstick is a very important prop, it makes life look bright and alive, and it is a sign that Dora, who has been alone, wants to start a new relationship and start a new life. The truck driver did not receive it, but Joshua I feel that. So much so that Joshua sent Dora a floral dress later, saying it looked better. Before leaving, Dora put on the dress and applied lipstick again. It was no longer stiff and jerky, but calm and confident, with a smile on her face, her eyes full of anticipation, and a little bit on her lips and smeared on her cheeks. On, this is a subtle and positive action. The understanding and companionship of the two allowed Dora to complete her own growth.
Another important tool is the letter. There are many scenes where letters appear, but the scene that impressed me the most is Dora writing a letter to Joshua on the bus at the end of the credits.
Dora makes a living by writing letters for people, but she hasn't written to someone in her own capacity for a long time. Because she has no one to send and no one to care about, but after this runaway, she has Joshua. And because of Joshua, not only can she welcome a better self, she is also willing to face the past and face misfortune. In the letter, she recalled her father, recalled that he was not bad, and frankly missed her. She used to think that people who don't need to be remembered are just passersby, but now she hopes that when Joshua realizes his dream of becoming a big truck driver in the future, he can think of the person who let him hold the steering wheel for the first time. This is transformation and sublimation. The previous bond may have been to bind passively and start a desperate trip, but the current bond is that even if the two are separated, they will remember each other, and the influence and growth brought by each other is real, indispensable and irreplaceable. She set out on a new path before dawn, and he chased far into the sunrise.
At that time, Brazilian society was changing from an agricultural society to an industrial society. The Central Station witnessed the flow of people and the influx of people into the city. In the seemingly vibrant and busy city, there were also shady and dirty activities - buying and selling children's organs, poverty and backwardness All countries have similar wretchedness and unbearableness. Dora sells Joshua to buy a TV set from the beginning, and finally remembers each other, cheers each other up, and is full of hope, and they complete a life revolution of their own in an often disappointing and turbid society.
