The handsome young and innocent Depp is in love with a mother and daughter at the same time. It was a pair of emotional mother and daughter, neurotic mother and daughter, mother and daughter committing suicide at any time, mother and daughter incompatible with fire and water. The first is the mother, Elaine, who is also eager to fly. She only mentioned this idea by accident, and Depp immediately began to help her put it into practice. Taking the slope-shaped runway, installing wings on the bicycle, and repeatedly improving the flying tools, the two fell into a black and swollen face again and again, but they approached something called "love" step by step. Depp is unwilling to stand in front of the car shop every day and practice how to say "hello" sexier to attract more business, and Elena is unwilling to lose herself by being dignified in front of her adult daughter. In fact, this pair of lovers, who are one generation apart in age, are children who are looking for dreams in their desire and attempt to fly.

And daughter Grace, on the surface, hates her mother's stray wreckage, and she does not hesitate to hysterically threaten her mother’s behavior with death. However, when she destroys Depp and Elena’s flying tools time and time again, Playing the accordion or murmuring words that others don't understand, we can easily find that she is jealous of her mother. The instinctive disobedience to her mother prevented her from repeating her mother's life, even if she wanted it, even if she loved Depp. As a result, she could only speak insincere words and happily play death games. Her despair went deep into her bones. Because of this, after Depp finally expressed love to her, she chose to die immediately. That was the only dream in her life, and she embraced it with death.

The film opened in Depp's dream and ended in Depp's dream. The huskies that appeared in the dream were also running lively in reality, and the balloons blown in the dream burst in reality, awakening the owner of the dream. Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, Die Meng Zhuang Zhou, which part of reality is actually not important. Dreams are not the same as dreams, but some dreams can only be extended in dreams. The dying Uncle Leo said, I'm going to the moon. The human soul left the body like hydrogen, filling the ambulance in motion, so the car soared to the moon. This is a dream, but also to use dreams to realize dreams.

I can't forget the fish swimming in the air. I always say to myself, look, it's flying again. Under the sun, it swam past the vehicle booth, swam past the car shop, and swam to higher places. At the end of the film, Depp said that he hoped that his childhood dream would make him embrace it again, so he became an Eskimo. Uncle Leo taught him to fish. The fish he caught was very big. Uncle said, let us release it together, so the fish moved, stood up, and began to swim in the air, swimming into the distance.

Perhaps, the whole movie is a dream, an Eskimo dream, a sleepwalking about Arizona, about love, about death, about the first and last dreams, and the attitude toward dreams.

Godard said that the movie is the truth of 24 frames per second. Michael Haneke said that the movie is the lie of 24 frames per second. Use sentence patterns, and substitutions are valid anyway. The conclusion to apply is that the movie is a dream of 24 frames per second. In "Ed Wood", Tim Burton said to Edward Wood Jr. through Orson Wells's mouth, "Ed, the movie is worth fighting for, so why not use your whole life to shoot a man’s dream? What?" Whether Ed Wood, Bolton, Kusturica, they belong to that small group of people, they even convinced me that dreams and reality have never conflicted.

The weather is still fine, the days are still rushed and boring, I really look forward to something that will come out of my dream to knock me out, maybe just tonight, I will have such a dream, about love and death without taboos, in the dream There must be cheerful Mexican music, and there will also be a fish swimming in the air, swimming to the distance, swimming to the moon.
